1] You gatta give it to #Mwonzora
His nerve is earth-shaking & underrated.
You don't conflate two parties that contested elections separately, & continue using a re-expired term of office to decimate one party & even re-call a whole Mayor of Harare.
He's daring

2] Forgive my French, but even the stupidest of stupid people understand some basics on the current MDC fights
1sty, the SC court ruling purported to reunite faction, which had by then turned into distinct parties,post their Congresses, something it can not do.

3] Even stupid people would also know that the Supreme Court extended the 2018 expired MDC-T terms of office by 4 months.
Whereas the sole purpose was to conduct a EOC, the extensions have expired.
Anyone purporting to be a MDC-T official is a deranged liar.

1] Life hasn't been easy for #Mwonzora & #Mudzuri on these streets for a while now.
They have absolutely lost control over the narrative
Majority of MDC supporters see their betrayal
Whenever they occasionally tweet something, they are met with negative responses & attacks

2] I've equally seen it on my TL, whenever i post something to do with the MDC-T Leadership.
Although i try to respond to every response, some tweets are riddled with so much anger I'm forced to ignore them.
Everything below the belt, i brush aside.
But here's a diagnosis...

3] Whereas some see plain intolerance in everything anti-Mwonzora for instance, there's more to it
Zimbabwe's political landscape is pregnant with some much anger & frustration
The problem is, these people end up expressing themselves in ways that attract your social sanctions

1] The #MDC-T just held a press conference condemning youths allegedly aligned to #Chamisa for an attempted violent takeover of HH
#Mwonzora & #Komichi threatened legal actions against the sponsors & perpetrators
This is a welcome development.
Can't tolerate political violence

2] The politics of violence should be condemned.
A sensible leadership cannot use violent to settle internal or external disputes.
This cultivates a dangerous culture of intolerance.
It eventually visits you also.
Real Leaders should be honest and reflective in their conduct.

3] In equal measure, people shouldnt hide behind unfounded violence allegations to settle political scores.
The decision to make Mukoyi Youth Chair after labeling him a violent Vanguard CIC leaves a lot to be desired.
You can't raise political capital on sympathy & victimhood.

1] The chancers who now make up the new old MDC-T keep exposing themselves.
The MDC-T is dead.
It survived thus far because it hovered around its Leader, DrMRT
In equal measure, the ALLIANCE will remain as such because it hovers around its Leader Chamisa.
This is politics.

2] This is an uncomfortable truth.
When you say it, you're accused of promoting personality politics.
But this Africa & these are our political dynamics.
Political parties are only as popular as their Leaders, especially the inaugural ones.
They usually die with them.

3] When the media was calling Chamisa, "Tsvangirai's blue-eyed boy"..little did they know they settling his succession.
Those who followed DrMRT began embracing Chamisa as his heir apparent.
The ALLIANCE meetings & campaigns solidified this with NC sticking to MT like glue.

1] Some of us who come from the ghetto will always say:
"if you can't say it to my face, i don't believe you".
The presser by #MaKhupe and co was just empty rhetoric.
Everyone looks brave when they feel safe.
It's only a matter of time when this charade will be exposed.

2] Its embarrassing desperation for #MaKhupe to claim Leadership over 103 MPs when she has 2.
Even stupid people know that the MDC-T was rejected by voters.
That rejection cannot be cured by legal technicalities.
It's even embarrassing for #Mwonzora to be part of this madness.

3] #MaKhupe continues to expose her naivety & #Leadership deficiency.
To argue that she is to the #MDC-T what #JohnStenheisen is to the #DA after the exit of #MusiMaimane is a joke that's not funny.
There was an undisputed #Leadership succession in the #DA.

1] The #unrelenting #hypocrites who said #Chamisa was afraid of a #Congress & was taking power through boardrooms accuse(d) him of not using #political #tokenism to protect #Mwonzora from #Hwende
They equally wanted #Mudzuri & #Komichi to be rewarded outside Congress #elections.

2] The #unrelenting #hypocrites who accused the #MDC-A of lacking party discipline want to christian #Chamisa a dictator for taking measures to realign party communication channels with the constitution.
They prefer seeing #MDC-A officials excitedly behave like a #Vikings army.

3] The #unrelenting #hypocrites pretend like there's no difference between #discipline & #democracy.
They enjoy seeing #MDC-A officials quenching their thirst for rumours & discord by needlessly rushing to the #media to share #personal #opinions even against #party #positions.

1] Here's some interesting thoughts from Mudzuri regarding the recalls of MPs by #Mwonzora.
I have consistently argued that the NC meeting of the #2014MDC-T was important so as to clip #Mwonzora's new found authority
#Mudzuri has confirmed that #Mwonzora has become power drunk.

1] The key thing to read from this cryptic tweet is that there's a #Leadership vacuum in the so called #MDC of #Tsvangirai
Knowing too well that some #MDC-T supporters feel very strongly against her, the intention is to politically pronounce that #Khupe is a transitional Leader.

2] It's hilarious for EM, who accepted an appointment outside #Congress, to lecture #MDC-T supporters on #Khupe's #2014Congress #legitimacy
Defeats the whole purpose of the new argument
Why does it matter now?
Had the powers of #Congress #legitimacy been lost to him all long?

3] Back to the cryptic tweet..
EM is making political notification to MDC-T supporters, that MaKhupe should be accommodated for the duration of the EOC preparations.
Politically,it cannot happen.
There is no judgement that can erase the political realities of the past 2 years.

1] Going through a presser by #Mwonzora yesterday, can't help but laugh at how he has become a #pathological liar.
Infact, its clear that besides getting security, legal & material support from #ZanuPF, they are equally giving him free lessons on #propaganda.
It's a shame

1] Some ppl have been accused of using the "tired song" of ZanuPF's underhand or marriage of convenience with #Mwonzora et al.
It would seem like #ZanuPF has used the "kombayi tirove" tactic in the "kombai titore" hijacking of the MDC Headquarters.
#Mwonzora should be ashamed.

2] Things just don't add up, regardless of how open minded one chooses to be.
The courts surprisingly opened during the lockdown for the judgement.
#Komichi spectacularly came with a prepared acceptance speech.
Guessing a judgement & bringing a related speech are 2 diff things

3] Then came Parliament..
#AdvMudenda inexplicably chose #Mwonzora over #Hwende even before any ruling on the identity of the #MDC-A.
#MaKhupe has been allowed to cross the political floor, with her MPs, with #Nyikadzino being ignored by #Mudenda.
There is a logic to it all.

1] Around the 20th of May, the 2014 #NationalCouncil of the MDC-T petitioned the holding of a #NationalCouncil meeting to discuss the infamous #CovidRuling and the way forward.
Predictably, #Mwonzora rubbished the calls for the meeting & even demanded that it be suspended.

2] Regardless of #Mwonzora's whistle in the wind, the #NC meeting went ahead.
It subsequently made resolutions, key amongst them, cautioning DM to stop speaking on their behalf & acting unilaterally.
A petition was signed to have DM call for a #NC meeting on the 6th of June.

3] One would observe that, since the #CovidJudgement, the 2014 #MDC-T #NC has not met.
Mwonzora has been pushing this narrative that #Khupe,#Komichi & himself can organize the EOC on their own.
Predictably, Mwonzora rubbished the NC meeting calling it illegal & inconsequential.

1] The continued corroboration of state institutions & the #Mwonzora led faction of the MDC-T is quite exposing.
On a day where the #PeoplesAdvocate @adv_fulcrum is appearing in court & Parly is resuming, with news of recalls of MDC-A MPs, Harare is on lockdown during lockdown.

2] How can you deny the regime's underhand in this issue when #Mwonzora et al, are finding it easy to by-pass all roadblocks from Harare to Humanikwa?
Which essential service are they offering?
No wait, anything that is anti-Chamisa is actually an essential service in Zimbabwe.

3] The big question would then be why ZanuPF would be more comfortable with #Mwonzora as Leader of the Opposition?
If he is #mature, does it then follow that maturity was lacking in the #Opposition and equally so in #ZanuPF that the State wants to utilize #Mwonzora's maturity?

1] A few things stood out for me as i was going through Pres Adv Chamisa's changes to his tool box.
Tools tell a lot about the carpenter.
More so when he was previously working with some rusty tools that belonged to the former carpenter.
I hope they will be useful to him.

2] In the appointments, Chamisa made some strong political statements.
Councilor #IanMakoni, MRT's Best Friend, husband to former #MDCTreasurer, & party stalwart Madam TM is now #Sec4Election.
Those who've followed the #Mwonzora fights understand my point.
Interesting pick.

3] Then there's #DavidChimhinhi, the past immediate #MDC-T 2014 #Manicaland Provincial Chair.
Mr Chimhini has replaced @JamesonTimba as Deputy SG.
In light of the #Mwonzora fights, and all the theories that followed, this is a interesting political statement by #Chamisa.

1] By each passing day, i wonder what goes through #Mwonzora's mind as he continues to lose his #political battles with #Chamisa.
How does he think of himself as SG of a party who's supposed #MPs (majority), continue to defy his #authority?
Surely, one has to #pause & #reflect.

2] MDC supporters have seen 3 splits now.
They know that they have little to do with #constitutionalism.
When Biti left, NC, commenting on the #congress that followed mockingly said "we haven't invited Tendai & his oranges"
Fast forward to 2019, he's his closest lieutenant.

3] When Ncube left, citing certain issues, those who have left now mocked him.
The same happened when Biti & EM & even MaKhupe left.
The #constitutionalists remained.
The MDC supporters are not stupid.
They are rational.
They see through the patronizing Latin from the Lawyers.

1] At face value, you would think, we need to fully open #Parliament.
Gov needs to be kept on check.
Policy discussion & dissemination of info,all point towards the need to #ReopenZimParliament
However,the more you watch it, the less you're convinced we need Parliament at all.

2] Was laughing at #Mwonzora as he castigated #MDC_A #MPs who have defied his court granted authority, to continue going to #Parliament.
His argument was, gvt needs to be kept in check.
A few hours back, #ZiyambiZiyambi had embarrassingly belittled him in that same #Parliament.

3] If #Mwonzora is to be honest with himself, he hasn't achieved anything in that #Parliament as #Senator.
Not even because he isn't effective, but because the people they are supposed to be playing #watchdog on, are just unrelenting.
You barely see any meaningful engagements.

1] Dear @DavidHofisi
Went through your article.
I'm glad we are agreeing on something.
I also agree with @Jamwanda2 who observed that the meeting by the guys who petitioned Mwonzora to call for a NC meeting shows confusion.
However, you can thank the moot judgement for that.

2] When the reaction to the judgement was treated as academic & moot by both Justice Partel & the Leadership that now identify as MDC-A, you went out of your way forcing compliance.
You however conveniently ignored the challenges associated with doing the same.
Few issues...

3] Both of you are ignoring that the SC judgement gave MaKhupe & #Komichi tasks to do within the framework of the MDC-T party.
Their first mandate was to engage the so called 2014 MDC-T Leadership.
The judgement doesn't self implement.
It equally can't be implemented by 3 pple.

1] WAS THE MDC-ALLIANCE AGREEMENT ABANDONED?
One of the headaches facing individuals with an interest in MDC political squabbles is on what the MDC-A is.
Is it a party?
Is it an electoral vehicle?
Is it a coalition which died soon after elections?
Here's something interesting:

Here's something interesting:
1] The meeting of the 2014 structures of the #MDC of #Tsvangirai as well as its subsequent resolutions were both inevitable.
The reason is not that they have necessarily decided to implement the SC verdict, but rather that they need to stop #Mwonzora from politically abusing it.

2] As exposed by a letter circulating, #Mwonzora, #Komichi & #Mudzuri among others, who did not attend, were actually invited.
It then nonsensical for the resolutions to be declared void by #Mwonzora and his camp.
In their absence, #legally, the meeting proceeded.

3] Back to the judgement, #Mwonzora had become so dangerously excited.
He recalled MPs without any MDC-T structure meeting.
He had become the defacto MDC-T NC,SC & #Constitution.
#Komichi elevated himself without any engagement with the actual Chair, as directed by the ruling.

1] As citizens wait patiently for the #HighCourt ruling on the matter regarding #MDC_T's parenthood of the #MDC_A, i fail to see how the judgement changes anything really.
This is because the #MDC_A is now a political party.
Something which a court can neither confirm nor deny.

Something which a court can neither confirm nor deny.
2] The crux of this matter is more #political than it is #legal.
Though #Mwonzora & team were arguing today that the #MDC_A was an #electoral pact which merely now exists as some faction of the #MDC, only a week ago, he had people recalled for joining a party called "#MDC_A".

3] Although #Mwonzora was argues the MDC-A is a 2018 coalition, which ceased to exist post elections, nothing suggest the "individual parties" continued existing as such.
For post 2018 bi-elections,what strategy was used to choose candidates if the parties remained autonomous?

1]It's #PoeticJustice,that i write a thread on the shenanigans in the #MDCALLIANCE on April 1st,a day loosely known as #FoolsDay.Sometimes you get the impression that some in the MDC are political fools.Are they ready to be a gvt when they aren't ready to be a political party?
2] #ZanuPF didn't win the #CowdryPark by-election,the #MDC lost it.They have learnt nothing and forgot nothing.I once argued that whoever resisted having the #MDCExtraordinaryCongress last year is a political tactician.The disaster would have been spectacular.
3]What we saw was just #MDC factional battles.It boggles ones mind how the #Mwonzora guy, misogynistic #Ndhlovu managed embarrassing votes yet he was the "official candidate".What makes the "unofficial candidate" garner more votes yet defying a party directive?
