TAFADZWA MANYIKA INTERIM SECRETARY GENERAL +1 (332) 208-4115<\/p>\n

Some Context:<\/b><\/p>\n

The letter is addressed to Jacob Mudenda, a high-ranking member of the ruling party in Zimbabwe, who holds important positions within the party. He knows the party\u2019s secretary, Obert Moses Mpofu<\/b>.<\/p>\n

This comes when the nation is still grappling with the recalling of 15 MPs from Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) <\/b>by Sengezo Tshabangu<\/b>, who claims to be the interim Secretary-General of CCC. Tshabangu alleges that the recalled individuals had ceased to be CCC members. However, the CCC argues that Tshabangu is not a genuine member of the party and that they do not have an interim or official Secretary-General. Despite receiving a letter from CCC leader Nelson Chamisa<\/b> advising the Speaker not to accept such communication from anyone except his office, the Speaker of Parliament expelled the MPs based on Tshabangu\u2019s recall.<\/p>\n

The recalling of CCC MPs further worsened the political crisis which emanated from the disputed 23 August 2023 harmonised elections which the CCC says were rigged by the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC) in connivance with ZANU PF and its surrogates.<\/p>\n
