War veterans leader and Deputy Minister for War Veterans Victor Matemadanda has denounced MDC-T acting president Nelson Chamisa for violating democracy and constitutionalism and going against everything Morgan Tsvangirai stood for. Chamisa has been accused of seizing power after the death of the founding leader and former Prime Minister, Tsvangirai who died after succumbing to colon cancer. Addressing war veterans in Mutare last week, Matemadanda said:
The MDC-T is poorer without Morgan Tsvangirai. He had a vision for the party, unlike the young politicians who are tussling for power.
Tsvangirai fought for democracy and constitutionalism; let’s wait and see whether the new MDC-T leaders will be man enough to go back to constitutionalism.
They are leaving Thokozani Khuphe who was elected on the Congress.
What is happening is unconstitutional. Before they talk of democracy to us they need to do a self-introspection. They are no longer qualified to talk about that without Tsvangirai.
Khuphe is the leader at law and they know they must respect democracy.
