MDC Alliance vice president Tendai Biti believes his recall from Parliament by Lucia Matibenga’s People’s Democratic Party (PDP) faction is a move aimed at paralysing the Public Accounts (PAC) parliamentary portfolio Committee which he chairs. Speaking to Zim Morning Post this Wednesday, Biti said PAC was on the verge of releasing damning reports of corruption in state entities, hence his ouster from Parliament. He said: PAC which I happen to be its chairperson this week dragged Zesa executive chairperson Sydney Gata to explain how Kuda Tagwirei of Sakunda was awarded the Dema diesel plant without due process. We started with Dema and next was command agriculture and then Zinara. We are chronicling the corruption reports where Tagwirei is the kingpin. We have those re

MDC says it has started a process to stop the Nelson Chamisa-led camp from using the MDC Alliance name. This comes amid serious divisions in the MDC emanating from the nasty battle to succeed the late founding father Morgan Tsvangirai, which saw the Supreme Court stripping Chamisa of the party’s presidency and conferring it on Thokozani Khupe who was recently replaced by Douglas Mwonzora at the party’s congress. Speaking on the third anniversary of Tsvangirai’s death on Sunday, MDC chairperson Morgen Komichi said they will soon stop Chamisa from using the name. “The fact that we are here at Harvest House (Morgan Tsvangirai House) means that we are the original MDC, everything that belonged to Tsvangirai is ours, this is our party, councillors and MPs are ou
Exiled former cabinet minister Professor Jonathan Moyo has slated opposition MDC Alliance leader Nelson Chamisa for pushing for the reopening of churches even as Covid-19 continues to spread rapidly. A devout Christian and ordained pastor, Chamisa wants lockdown restrictions eased for places of worship so they can seek divine solutions to the country's problems, including the respiratory virus that has since infected 32,952 Zimbabweans and killed 1,178 others. "We must allow churches to open for a controlled number of people provided there is social distancing, masking, and other Covid-19 protocols," the opposition leader said during his Covid-19 national address Thursday. "To our bishops, pastors, the church body, intercessors, and believers, we encourage you t
