Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>CCC\u2019s self-proclaimed interim secretary general Sengezo Tshabangu<\/b> has claimed that he has been inundated by calls from the party\u2019s MPs and Councillors who are swearing their allegiance to him and begging not to be recalled.<\/p>\n

In October this year, Tshabangu recalled 14 MPs, 9 senators as well as more than a dozen councillors, and the move was upheld by High Court judge Justice Munamato Mutevedzi on Saturday after the expelled members had challenged the expulsions.<\/p>\n

In the latest video circulating on social media, Tshabangu said he assured the elected party legislators that he will spare them but warned that those elected \u201cillegally\u201d will be recalled. He said:<\/p>\n

They (CCC MPs) are actually calling me every day, every hour, every minute that SG please don\u2019t recall us we will take whatever you say and we are prepared to work with you.<\/p>\n

So I didn\u2019t sleep last night because members of parliament were reaching out and I promised them that look as long as you know that you were in that position elected by the people you were not there in that position illegally, you are safe.<\/p>\n

But if you know that you paid up people for you to get into that position unfortunately my office is going to visit you.<\/p>\n

Tshabangu also dismissed CCC leader Nelson Chamisa\u2019s order to the party\u2019s elected representatives to \u201cdisengage\u201d saying it may create an unnecessary constitutional crisis. Said Tshabangu:<\/p>\n

We can\u2019t disengage, we can\u2019t create a constitutional crisis unnecessarily. So if there are any problems we will discuss them with members of parliament. We will whip them into line, we will consult them, we are going to reshuffle.<\/p>\n

In fact, we are going to reshuffle the setup in parliament, who is going to be the chief whip, we are going to have a fresh caucus, who is going to be the leader of the house, who is going to be the leader of that committee.<\/p>\n

We are going to have a reshuffle because those people had positioned themselves there without consultation, broader consultation of the movement so things are going to change.<\/p>\n

However, posting on X, CCC deputy spokesperson, Gift Siziba, who is also Pelandaba-Tshabalala MP, ridiculed Tshabangu\u2019s claims, saying he was not deployed by the self-proclaimed interim secretary general. Said Siziba:<\/p>\n

We can\u2019t pretend to be confused for convenience. We were never deployed to parliament by Tshabangu. That is a fact known by him and those who associate with him.<\/p>\n

Principles matter especially in this protracted struggle for democracy. Parliament to me is a zone of struggle and not a career.<\/p>\n

As long as the Citizens have not recalled me l worry not because it\u2019s them who voted for me under a CCC that was and is led by President Nelson Chamisa.<\/p>\n

Recalled former MP for Cowdray Park, Pashor Sibanda said \u201cWe will not surrender the victory of our people to political vultures, hoaxers and imposters in whatever form or shape.\u201d<\/p>\n
