THOUSANDS of MDC supporters slept in the open for the entire duration of their party congress in Gweru at the weekend due to lack of financial resources, amid allegations that the Zanu PF government had “deliberately” withheld money due to the opposition movement under the Political Parties Finance Act.

Outgoing MDC secretary-general Douglas Mwonzora accused President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s government of deliberately trying to sabotage the MDC congress by withholding the party’s funding despite making a commitment to disburse the money by last Wednesday.

“I can confirm that government did not disburse our funds. This was totally unfair,” Mwonzora said, equating the move to a financial warfare against his party.

“We budgeted for this congress with that money in mind. Over the years, when there is a congress and the money has not come, we would make a case with the government. In this case, I personally went to make a case with the Justice minister (Ziyambi Ziyambi) and his permanent secretary (Virginia Mabiza), they actually promised us that they were going to pay by Wednesday last week, but the money did not come,” he said.

Government through the Political Parties Finance Act, funds all parties with representation of 5% or more in Parliament.

The Nelson Chamisa-led MDC was entitled to almost $4,8 million which it was eyeing to fund its congress, including paying for delegates’ accommodation.

“We are talking of money in the region of $4,8 million and this congress was actually going to cost us less. What it means is that we were then unable to accommodate our people decently, but you see the resilience of our people, some of them did not have good meals, but there are still here, because these people love their party, love their change and they have to work for their change,” he said.

But Ziyambi denied meeting MDC officials to discuss the issue of the funds, accusing the opposition party of trying to find a scapegoat for its failures.

“I am not aware of the visit. In any case, even Zanu PF has not received its allocation,” Ziyambi said.

In the chilling cold spell that ravaged Gweru over the days of congress and the spiking prices of basic commodities, many MDC activists slept in the open at Ascot Stadium and vowed to keep the vigil until it closed.

Delegate Jairos Vemba told NewsDay that he had sold some of his livestock to fund his stay in Gweru.

“We are a party with no resources, but we have a big heart. This party is ours and we will not tire, we will fund this party with our sweat and tears,” he said.

Chamisa told NewsDay that there has been a protracted warfare against his party.

“Zanu PF has been trying by every turn to bring us down, but this is a people’s project, it will not fail because someone wants to withhold State funding or target the party leadership. Our people are resilient and committed to ensuring that the MDC, as a vehicle for change, delivers,” he said.

Up until late last night, elections for members of the MDC standing committee, which includes top posts of vice-president, treasurer-general, secretary-general, chairperson and vice-chairpersons, were still ongoing.

Tension was high, especially as Mwonzora mounted a fight back against Charlton Hwende in the secretary-general’s race.

Mwonzora has mounted a brave campaign despite being labelled a sell-out. He marched on with his team, declaring loyalty to party, leadership and cause.

Chamisa could be heard consoling Hwende who appeared to be suffering post-electoral stress.

“Don’t stress much about elections, remember my time when I was defeated for the secretary-general position, I was stressed. I wanted to go to the rural areas because my attitude has always been that these are people’s choices,” Chamisa told a visibly distraught Hwende.

Insiders are, however, tipping Welshman Ncube and Tendai Biti to land the vice-presidents’ posts.

However, Lillian Timveous’ supporters were pushing hard to ensure that Linnet Karenyi-Kore does not grab the female vice-president’s slot.

David Coltart appeared set to land the treasurer-general’s position, while Thabitha Khumalo was almost assured of the party chairperson post. For the vice-presidency, Job Sikhala appeared at ease, but his challenger Happymore Chidziva kept him on his toes.

Candidates cited a number of irregularities, saying they never got time to inspect the voters’ roll and feared that names of their supporters could be missing.

Mwonzora alleged they could have been some ballot stuffing after one voter was caught with two ballots.

Chamisa, who has been blighted with legitimacy issues after he was jettisoned to power by the party’s national council to take over from the late Morgan Tsvangirai, said he is now preparing his party for a major showdown with Zanu PF.

Speaking to the media just after pushing a victory lap to a rousing reception by party delegates, Chamisa said the MDC was building a continental giant.

“We are unstoppable, there is no going back. This is a massive political party, a party of the people. We are grateful to (the late) Dr Richard Morgan Tsvangirai, Dumiso Dabengwa and many others who contributed to this great project. I am sure you have seen the provinces and we pray to God and we wait for them to vote and pray that the best candidates will win,” he said.

Having lost many elections to Zanu PF, amid allegations of rigging, Chamisa said the party was going through a transformative stage, especially to ensure the they match the ruling party pound for pound.

The MDC congress kicks off today with youths and women’s assemblies elections. NewsDay caught up with some of the candidates vying for positions at the congress to get their views on why they think they are the right candidates for the various portfolios they are vying for. Below are some of the briefs:

David Coltart

I am standing for election for treasury-general and I have set out a five-point plan of action. Firstly, I will implement uniform systems from national to ward level.

Secondly, I will adopt zero tolerance policy regarding corruption and bad administration within the party. Thirdly, I will implement a system of electronic membership cards that will benefit well over 2,5 million people who support the MDC so that we can adequately finance the party from domestic resources.
Fourthly, to reach out to the diaspora as we have many Zimbabweans who are MDC supporters and we have to work out means of tapping into that support.

Fifthly, to draw the support of people who are not in full-time politics, but who have particular skills and who are sympathetic to the MDC so that we can improve efficiency. The reality is that the MDC is inefficiently run and that needs to change.

I have said that people shouldn’t vote for me on what I offer or by the promises I make, but by checking the records. As founding legal secretary of the MDC, I set up the legal defence fund and raised tens of thousands of dollars to ensure that MDC members were adequately represented.

As Education minister, I raised tens of millions of dollars to run the education transition fund efficiently and I bring those skills to the MDC, if elected. So, all I can do is set that out and then rest on the democratic rule of the MDC membership.

Tracy Mutinhiri

I am vying for the position of vice-president. I am expecting to win why, because I am a mature and experienced politician. I will continue with my very successful strategy of marketing president Nelson Chamisa and MDC brand and assist with programmes of national healing and reconciliation as I am also a mother who lost her daughter, Belinda Mutinhiri, under unclear circumstances, just as Itai Dzamara’s mother and others.

If elected, I will assist with coming up with sound economic policies which will attract investors, which Zimbabwe desperately needs. I will also assist in fighting corruption from all our economic sectors. My rural background will assist in recruiting more supporters in rural areas and convince more women I worked with in the past because they know my good track record. I will remain very loyal to my president Chamisa and set programmes of empowering women and youths with income-generating projects.

Job Sikhala

I am contesting to be the party’s national vice-chairperson. It is a position that deals with important and fundamental issues of the party. It deals with the structural health of the party. It needs a sober, kind and firm hand. I will offer that.

Secondly, it is the chair of the elections directorate and disciplinary hearings. Never shall positions be acquired through patronage, corruption, friendship or any other vices. Never shall double candidates be an issue in the party. I will not need secondary assistance to interpret the party constitution or the party code of conduct. It will only be the expeditious dispensary of justice.

Lilian Timveos

I am vying for the position of vice-president. I am a wife, a mother and a woman in Zimbabwe. I am also a businesswoman in Zimbabwe, who understands the challenges facing businesses, consumers and our jobless youth. Since joining the party, I have committed myself to upholding MDC values and principles.

I have worked hard for the party in various capacities, Midlands provincial chair where I was the first female chair for the province where I dispatched my work effectively through teamwork. I am celebrating my second term as senator of the Midlands; I am currently the Chief Whip in the Senate, a position I am indebted to both the party and my colleagues in the Senate.

I stand ready to be your vice-president, not a woman vice-president, but a vice-president of equal fit. I pray that people will vote for me based on my pledge to deliver my duties in line with our policy blueprint for transformation, opportunity and prosperity. I promise to add value to the visionary leadership of president Chamisa by bringing in my vast political experience, loyalty, integrity, visionary and accountability in the presidium.

Tributes poured in for liberation icon Dumiso Dabengwa, following his death in Nairobi, Kenya, on Thursday.

President Emmerson Mnangagwa said he had “huge respect for Dumiso and his contribution to Zimbabwe as a liberation fighter, a long-standing Minister of Home Affairs and as a man.”

MDC leader Nelson Chamisa paid tribute to a “a humble, wise, honest and principled leader.”

“A hero of our liberation struggle without peer, he lived a simple life. We don’t take it lightly that he endorsed our cause before he left us. We join the Dabengwa family, and nation during this sad moment,” Chamisa said on Twitter.

The Dumiso Dabengwa Foundation said Zimbabwe had “lost a man of the people, and a mentor”, describing the former Home Affairs Minister as a “son of the soil who sacrificed his entire life for the independence of this great nation of Zimbabwe.”

Lawyer David Coltart said: “Although we were on different sides in the war and on different sides when I first stood for Parliament, we became good friends and he will be greatly missed. My deepest sympathy is extended to Zodwa and their family.”

Tributes also came from the United States embassy, the Dutch embassy and the European Union mission to Zimbabwe.

Chief Nhlanhla Ndiweni of Ntabazinduna, Dabengwa’s birthplace, tweeted: “Words will not suffice to express the heartfelt sorrow for the passing of my Dumiso Dabengwa. The nation has been robbed of a gallant son. He will forever be Ntabazindunas greatest export. Phumula qhawe!”

Dabengwa, jailed by the regime on treason charges during army massacres that rights groups say killed thousands in Matabeleland in the 1980s, died aged 79 as he returned from India where he was receiving treatment for liver disease.

Dabengwa was head of intelligence for the armed wing of the ZAPU liberation movement, which was led by the late Joshua Nkomo in a struggle against white minority rule in the then Rhodesia.

Nicknamed the “Black Russian” because of his military training in Russia, Dabengwa was accused of hiding arms of war, the pretext for the army crackdown in western Zimbabwe that rights groups say killed 20,000 mostly minority Ndebele.

In 1983, Dabengwa and Lookout Masuku, the commander of ZIPRA, were charged with treason by the government of then President Robert Mugabe. They were acquitted by the courts but remained in detention until their release in 1986.

Masuku, whose health deteriorated in detention, was released to a hospital ward where he died. Joshua Nkomo later said Masuku’s last wish to see Dabengwa had been rejected by the regime.

Dabengwa would in later years say that ZAPU’s armed wing included members from South Africa’s ruling African National Congress (ANC), which was fighting the apartheid government and that some of the cached arms belonged to ANC’s military wing.

The 1982 to 1987 massacres have continued to haunt President Emmerson Mnangagwa, who was Mugabe’s security minister during the period. Mnangagwa last month said Zimbabweans should openly talk about the massacres, known as “Gukurahundi”, as part of a national healing process.

Dabengwa became a government minister for eight years up to 2000 after ZAPU merged with the ruling Zanu PF. After leaving government, Dabengwa became critical of Mugabe and Zanu PF policies before leaving the party to revive ZAPU in 2008.

In the run-up to the July 2018 presidential and parliamentary vote, Dabengwa supported opposition leader Nelson Chamisa for the presidency.

A Harare man who was shot on suspicion of poaching the endangered rhino at Bubi Valley Conservancy, two years ago, has slapped the wildlife sanctuary with US$550 000 lawsuit for damages. Mr Nhamo Kufakunesu claims that he was on a frolic of his own looking for herbs along a river in Mwenezi, a few kilometres from the conservancy boundary, when he was shot by game rangers, on allegation of poaching the endangered species.

He was shot on the left side of the chest and the bullet exited through the left arm causing horrific disfigurement. The injury was said to have caused 30 percent disability.

In the summons filed at the High Court, Mr Kufakunesu claims that the extensive injuries he suffered resulted in permanent limited “hand range of motion, supination, pronation and medically certified 30 percent disability”.

He cited the conservancy and Mr Norman Andrew English, a security manager at the conservancy, three game scouts and three game rangers, as defendants.

“As a direct consequence of second to seventh defendants’ conduct, plaintiff suffered general damages for pain and suffering in the sum of US$350 000 for which first defendant is vicariously liable,” read the summons.

Mr Kufakunesu, who is being represented by Advocate Edwin Hamunakwadi, also claims that following the gruesome incident, the conservancy caused his malicious prosecution over trumped-up charges.

He was charged with contravening the Parks and Wildlife Act, which criminalises the hunting of any special protected animals, at Beitbridge magistrates’ courts, but he was acquitted. No appeal has been filed against his acquittal to date.
Mr Kufakunesu is now demanding US$200 000 for malicious prosecution over alleged trumped-up charges.

His prosecution, he argues, was blatantly malicious, unlawful and outright harassment.

“Their conduct is clearly an affront to plaintiff’s (Mr Kufakunesu) constitutionally guaranteed right to life,” he argues.

“In the premises, therefore, it is just and equitable that defendants jointly and severally the one paying the other to be absolved compensate plaintiff in damages in the total sum of US$550 000.”

Bubi Valley Conservancy has since filed a notice of appearance to defend the claim, through its lawyer Mr David Coltart of Webb, Low Barry Legal Practitioners.

THE Nelson Chamisa-led MDC has been hit by a financial squeeze which has forced it to dig deeper into members’ pockets to fund travel, food and accommodation costs for its over 6 000 congress delegates set to meet in Gweru next Wednesday to elect new party leadership.
The party last month said it will spend close to $2 million on delegates, who will attend the crunch May 24 congress in Gweru. It is still not clear whether this would be an extraordinary congress following a High Court ruling by Justice Edith Mushore recently.

Giving an update on the congress preparations yesterday, party spokesperson Jacob Mafume said because of the failing economy, the costs of hosting the congress continued to skyrocket and the party would be relying on its members for funding.

“Our road in funding the congress is that of a struggle as we rely on our members and on our people. We do believe like every other organisation in this country that because of the way Zanu PF is governing this country and failed to deal with issues of inflation and costs, there will also be issues around funding,” he said.

Mafume, however, said despite the party struggling to get funding, congress was going ahead with delegates assured of accommodation, food and transportation.

“What is always clear about the MDC spirit is that the congress will be historic and that it will go according to a democratic process. No stone will be left unturned to make sure that it is a success. I can assure the delegates that food and accommodation has been secured and that we will be self-funding the whole process for the satisfaction of our party members and our constitutional obligation,” he said.

In the wake of a High Court ruling which nullified Chamisa’s presidency, Mafume said the forthcoming congress was not called by the party president and, therefore, would not be affected by the court ruling.

The party said it has invited outsiders to run its elections for all contested positions in an effort to promote transparency and fairness.

Meanwhile, former Education minister and MDC aspiring treasurer-general David Coltart said Zanu PF has taken advantage of the underfunded and divided opposition to subvert electoral processes and the will of the people.

In is manifesto as he seeks to win the hearts and minds of the congress delegates for the treasurer-general post, Coltart said he will ensure that the party is well-funded, run professionally and geared to out-poll Zanu PF.

“We need to acknowledge the bad. We have been divided in the past and that has been a gift to Zanu PF. We have also not run our party as we should,” Coltart said.

“The party has been underfunded in many ways and inefficiently run and we cannot claim to be people who can run Zimbabwe well if we cannot run our own party efficiently. So, this is not just about running our party efficiently, it’s about the message we convey to the electorate.”

The MDC went through several splits under the leadership of the late Morgan Tsvangirai, denying them a critical outright victory against former President Robert Mugabe in the crunch 2008 general election which had to be decided via a bloody presidential run-off.

In the 2018 general elections, the MDC, owing to lack of resources, failed to field polling agents in some constituencies and as a result, did not have all the V11 forms to effectively tally the results of the presidential elections.

Coltart, who faces Tapiwa Mashakada for the treasurer’s post, said his leadership – combined with that of uncontested Chamisa would deliver the ultimate blow to Zanu PF.

“The party has survived the onslaught of Zanu PF. In fact, it has more than survived, it’s stronger now, I believe, than ever before. Of course, the last week or so I have crisscrossed the country and I have seen the strength of the party at grassroots level. We also have a dynamic new leadership particularly under Chamisa, who has energised the party and who has invigorated young people in our nation in a way that I haven’t ever seen before,” he said.

MDC-T Vice President Obert Gutu has attacked MDC Treasurer General aspirant David Coltart of being a racist unrepentant Rhodie.

Gutu was irked by Coltart’s opinion of the recent handed down MDC judgement said, “This racist Rhodesian Selous Scout should just zip it.”

Coltart had said, “Dear Thoko Zanu Khupe … You did your congress together with Gutu, Linda Masarira and others, you were elected president and you indicated that your party is the original MDC-T. You participated in the presidential race using the name MDC-T and you got 0.9 percent … Chamisa also participated and got over two and half million votes, so I don’t see the logic why you are saying you want to lead the MDC, which MDC?

“You want to be a leader of 2 million people who didn’t vote for you really, this is total madness give us a break madam Khupe …This will not work, you will not work, Chamisa will work … Simple.”

Gutu said he will not keep quiet when people are being misled by Coltart.

“I won’t keep quite when unrepentant racist Rhodesian Selous Scouts who butchered innocent black people decide to mislead the people by pretending to be democrats.” He added.

President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s hopes of destabilising the opposition through underhand dealings and his hopes of turning around the worsening economy alone will fail because he is not God, MDC leader Nelson Chamisa has said.

The youthful leader made the bold statements on Friday evening while officially opening the MDC Midlands caucus in Gweru.

In apparent reference to the recent High Court ruling made by Justice Edith Mushore nullifying his leadership of the MDC, Chamisa accused Zanu PF and its leader of burning the midnight
oil plotting to destroy the opposition through underhand mechanisms.
“Zanu PF is panicking … now they are trying to stop our congress. They will not have everything go their way. ED (President Mnangagwa) is not God. He cannot have all his wishes
succeed. Look at the economy, it is giving him problems. He is failing to deal even with sewerage blockages in towns,” he said.

Chamisa vowed that the congress will go ahead despite the court ruling.

“The court is trying to stop us. But we will not stop. This party is no longer touchable. We have just come from the late Morgan Tsvangirai’s memorial to appease the spirit of our
founding father. That was not in vain. It will give our party strength to fulfil his agenda for change,” he said.

“We are aware of mechanisms by Zanu PF to destabilise our party. They want to divert focus of the masses. Our focus is politics. We respect what judges say. We respect our lawyers, but
above all we are a political party. We formed this party alone. Our congress will go ahead.”

Chamisa warned MDC top officials he said were working with Zanu PF to destroy the party from within, saying they would be kicked out at congress.

“We are changing the direction of the party. We will no longer just walk with anyone. We will scrutinise our leaders. We need genuine cadres. At the congress, we are going to tie to the
plough the oxen that pull. If you are a cadre working with our enemy, we will not tolerate. This is a people’s party. We want to start counting each other. Those who are not with us can
go out. This party is now too strong, it will not split,” he said.
Douglas Mwonzora, the current MDC secretary-general, together with deputy president Elias Mudzuri, have been accused of working with Zanu PF and fingered as behind the court application
that challenged Chamisa’s leadership.

Presenting his manifesto during the caucus, Mwonzora avoided the subject and, instead, narrated his history in the opposition pointing to his commitment to the MDC party. He also
expressed loyalty to Chamisa.

“If elected to retain my post in the MDC, I will tirelessly fight for electoral reforms that will see our leader Nelson Chamisa safely going to occupy State House,” he said.

“I have worked in Copac and in the MDC on top posts. If elected to be secretary-general again, I will work on electoral reforms to ensure Nelson Chamisa goes to State House.”

He was not jeered as Chamisa kept warning the crowd against such conduct and, at one time, Mwonzora received an ovation during his speech.

Chamisa dismissed the notion that MDC-T leader Thokozani Khupe had been given the greenlight to take over the MDC Alliance by the Mushore ruling.

The youthful leader said he went to elections last year under different parties with Khupe and it was unimaginable how someone can come and take over their neighbour’s house. He said
Khupe was welcome at Morgan Richard Tsvangirai House only as a visitor.

Chamisa also charged that government should avail funds owed to MDC under the Political Parties Act and warned against the State channelling the funds towards Khupe’s MDC-T on the basis
of the Mushore High Court ruling.
Other party cadres who addressed the caucus included vice-presidency aspirants, Welshman Ncube, Tendai Biti and Senator Morgen Komichi. Mudzuri did not pitch up due to ill health.

Joel Guebuza and Thabitha Khumalo, who are vying for the national chairman’s post, also presented their manifestos. Charlton Hwende and Daniel Molokele told the crowd about their
ambitions to be party secretary-general, while David Coltart and Tapiwa Mashakada shared their visions as treasurer-general aspirants.

MDC treasurer-general nominee David Coltart has hit out at MDC-T president Thokozani Khupe for her response to the ruling by High Court Judge, Justice Mushore.

Coltart castigated Khupe for claiming to lead a party that she has opposed in the 2018 elections and attacked since. Said Coltart:

“Madam Khupe’s response to the judgment of Mushore J is more farcical than the reasoning of the judgment itself.

Her claim to be the leader of the very party she opposed in the 2018 election and has vilified since is utterly spurious.

Courts cannot create supporters for politicians.

Justice Mushore on Wednesday ruled that Khupe is the rightful leader of the MDC and that Nelson Chamisa took after the presidency after Morgan Tsvangirai’s death through unconstitutional means.

The Judge further ruled that the party should hold an “overdue” extraordinary Congress to elect new leadership.”

MDC Treasurer General aspirant David Coltart has dismissed the high court judgement as an empty thunder that is seriously laden with flaws.

The court ruled on Wednesday that MDC leader Nelson Chamisa is not the rightful leader of the MDC and his appointment as Vice President by the late Morgan Tsvangirai should be set aside.

Said Coltart, “I have just finished reading the High Court judgment against the MDC . I am profoundly shocked by the reasoning of the learned Judge. The judgement is seriously flawed in numerous respects. The application should have been dismissed on several different grounds but wasn’t.

“This is what is called a brutum fulmen – empty thunder, an ineffective order. By the time the appeal is heard a duly constituted Congress of the MDC will have been held and Nelson Chamisa elected. Pathetic interference with the due process of a party.”

Colltart added that the court seemed to b captured by ZANU PF and were being used to fight Nelson Chamisa.

“Imagine if Mugabe or the G40 had gone to Court to argue that Mnangagwa had been illegally appointed President of ZANU PF in December 2017 after the violent ouster of Mugabe. It is hard to imagine any Zimbabwean Court being bold enough to rule as they have today against the MDC.

“The farcical nature of life in Zimbabwe. Next the High Court will be ruling that Nelson Chamisa is not a person. The regime truly fears him taking full and unfettered leadership of the MDC.”

Commenting on matter MDC Vice President Professor Welshman Ncube said the decision by the judge was inconsistent with a previous judgement on the same.

“Wonders never cease!! During Morgan Tsvangirai’s lifetime the High Court ruled that his appointment of 2 additional Vice Presidents was lawful and today the same High Court decides contrary to law, to revisit its own decision and makes a contrary ruling,” Said Ncube.
