The MDC-T Oxford branch held its celebration of the election victory for Bulawayo East Thabitha Khumalo’s conquest over David Coltart.
The jubilant meeting which attracted more than a hundred delegates from around the country unanimously concurred that they are going to rally behind Morgan Tsvangirai for the 2018 elections. It was all celebration and dance throughout the meeting with an informal speech delivery at the beginning.
During that time Khumalo was handed several questions on her work. She answered several but refused to speak on the party’s position in the just ended elections for which she said everything had been done by her boss, Morgan Tsvangirai.
Khumalo said she was not in a position to comment on any party issues as she was bound by party protocols.
Refusing to answer particular questions, she declared that any questions to do with the party should and must have been directed to Morgan Tsvangirai who was in the UK earlier in the week ahead of her celebratory event.
Khumalo who is much loved by the MDC UK members for her straight forward talk and openness enjoyed the night as she danced and celebrated her victory with Zimbabweans in UK. But she was firm and direct to the attending members as she told them they have the duty to demand and hold their leaders accountable and any compromise to these values, she would not be part of.
Khumalo defended her visit as speculation was rife that the MDC Harverst House had not approved her journey to the UK. She said all protocols were followed to the letter as approved by the Secretary General to which reference should be made to the terms and conditions of twinning of MDC UK branches and Zimbabwe Constituencies.
