He said:<\/p>\n<p>We acknowledge that contrary to what some of us have said in the past that we didn\u2019t know Senator Tshabangu, we did. He was a member of the national executive and national council.<\/p>\n<p>He attended the fateful meeting of January 22, 2022, but he was not secretary general. He assumed that position under strategic ambiguity.<\/p>\n<p>Our competitive advantage in electoral terms relates to who we are as agents of democratic change. Not just in terms of what we say, but also in terms of what we do.<\/p>\n<p>The damage is there. But the biggest damage is how far back this period (under Chamisa) has taken us in the struggle for a democratic alternative.<\/p>\n<p>Ncube said it will take many years and hard work to undo the damage inflicted on the opposition movement by Chamisa. He said:<\/p>\n<p>It will be years and years before we can restore the agenda that the opposition is a democratic alternative to ZANU PF. We are not underestimating the task that faces us. It is huge. The damage is huge.<\/p>\n<p>This council has made a call that whatever it takes, we must understand that the ideals of the liberation struggle are upheld.<\/p>\n<p>Some of the officials elected at the 2019 Gweru Congress of the MDC-Alliance, which was nullified by the courts, attended the meeting.<\/p>\n<p>They included Lynette Karenyi-Kore (co-vice president), and Chalton Hwende (secretary-general).<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About Zimbabwe Follow Africa-Press<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Zimbabwe.
