MDC-T President Nelson Chamisa has threatened to fire the party’s defiant deputy leader Thokozani Khupe and elevate Bulawayo East legislator Thabitha Khumalo instead.
Khuphe is opposing Chamisa’s assumption of power following the death of the MDC-T’s founding president Morgan Tsvangirai. Speaking on Twitter on Friday, Chamisa said:
You ceased to be a team player when MRT (Tsvangirai) heeded people’s calls for a united front against Zanu PF. Please, let the 7 days expire. We pray for Thabitha Khumalo to be VP (vice president).
Khupe, national chairperson Lovemore Moyo and organising secretary Abednigo Bhebhe were given a one week ultimatum to shape in or risk expulsion from the party.
