Mugabe Funding Chamisa Ahead Of MDC Congress- Report
The Herald reports MDC leader Nelson Chamisa is receiving funding from former President Robert Mugabe ahead of his party’s congress in May this year.
A source quoted by the State owned publication said Chamisa has received a substantial amount that he is using to do rallies and other party activities meant at canvassing support ahead of the congress. The source said:
One thing absurd fantasies being thrown around is that Zanu-PF is meddling in the opposition’s internal politics and has set aside US$6 million to ensure that Mr Chamisa loses to whoever is going to challenge him at congress principally Mr Mwonzora. Whilst they are trying hard to push this narrative, they are not telling the world that Mr Chamisa is receiving funding from the Blue Roof. (Blue Roof is Mr Mugabe’s private residence in Harare’ plush suburb of Borrowdale). So far, Mr Chamisa has received a substantial amount that he is using to do rallies and other party activities meant at canvassing support ahead of the congress. Remember this is not the first time that Mr Mugabe has shown support for Mr Chamisa. During last year’s elections, he declared his open support for Mr Chamisa on the eve of the polls hoping that his move was going to swing votes in favour of the opposition leader.
