Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>MDC-T leader Douglas Mwonzora has ordered recalls on 13 party councillors from four local authorities for alleged disloyalty.<\/p>\n

ZimLive reported that Mwonzora recalled councillors from Norton, Kwekwe, Kadoma and Mutare.<\/p>\n

He accused the councillors of having sympathies with opposition rival Nelson Chamisa of the Citizens\u2019 Coalition for Change (CCC).<\/p>\n

The councillors learnt of their recall in a letter written to Town Clerks of the concerned local authorities by Local Government Minister July Moyo.<\/p>\n

In a letter written to Norton Town Clerk, Moyo said:<\/p>\n

I wish to inform you that I am in receipt of a letter from the Movement for Democratic Change (MDC-T) stating that the following councillors have been expelled from the party; Rosemary Chinoyera (Ward 9), Charles Dube (Ward 2) and Muchaneta Munyeveri (Ward 3).<\/p>\n

Also recalled from Kwekwe City Council are Pikirai Musipa (Ward 3), Charles Juta (Ward 7) and Betty Ndhlovu (Ward 13).<\/p>\n

Mwonzora went on to issue recalls on three councillors in Mutare and four in Kadoma, including the town\u2019s mayor.<\/p>\n

One of the recalled councillors told ZimLive that they were targeted for their allegiance to CCC. Said the councillor:<\/p>\n

It (recall) was a surprise to everyone. Obviously, on their side, they sat down and found it appropriate to recall us.<\/p>\n

We support President Nelson Chamisa and we have not been ambiguous about it.<\/p>\n

In my case, I told him straight up that I am CCC. I have never attended even one MDC-T meeting.<\/p>\n
