(Mutare)Four rebel councilors who rebelled against a Tsvangirai directive and ‘nikuved’ their own party by secretly electing a ZANU PF deputy councilor, have been expelled.
They will no longer be councilors with immediate effect.
MDC-T Manicaland spokesman Pishai Muchauraya confirmed to ZimEye Wednesday afternoon that the notorious team are now on the streets, jobless having served barely 24 hours of service.
The four rebel councilors are Richard Mupfura ward 16, Tatenda Nhambarare ward 8, Farai Bhiza ward 11 and Pamella Mutare ward 2.
“The provincial executive has expelled the four from MDC with immediate effect.
“We are now in the process doing the papers to ZEC so that they cause by-elections in those wards,” said Muchauraya.

Charles do u mean that the law stipulates that the MDC T will have to write to the speaker of the parliament or president of the senate that they have fired some concillors i dont think so it aplies to MPs and Senators only. If the MDC T are not carefully they risk being humiliated by Chombo again coz i can foresee a situation whereby these concillors cud be fired and replaced as concillors yes,but that Tatenda Nhamarare who was recently sworn in as Mutare Mayor will continue with his mayorship.Simba rebato rinoperera pakumubvisa huconcillor chete not huMayor u are now steping at Chombos’ territory beware you will have eggs on yo face at the end of the day.
Do u mean if Mugabe luz as the president of the party pacongress Zimbabwe will go to polls to choose another president before his 5 year term remember nyaya yaMtambara na Ncube whereby the former went on to enjoy hu Deputy Prime minister despite losing at their congress.This is Zimbabwe MDC T as at now should have been aware of the kind of people whom they are dealing with,wake up think outside the box kwete kungotenderera mubox.Unless the law clearly states without any ambiguity nokuti inZanu PF we have wat we can call full fledged experienced and intelligence politicians who can get wat they need yet in MDC T we have armatures who if the going gets turf they can resort to ‘boycot’ and ‘withdraw’ which is not a solution at all.
Fascinating truth from Nkolo Mncube- then we can be counted as people again.
Good one. All sellouts should go to Welshman since he is the biggest sellout ever in seen in our country.
Yes, let them go and be jobless for the rest of their lives. MDC_T does not tolerate thieves, and those who accept bribes. Their families will go hungry for ever.
ZANU PF, there is no need to celebrate because God anointed Mugabe not ZANU PF. Now he has anointed another one, Morgan Tsvangirai. When God annoint someone no need for elections. If he had given him power then, somepeople were going to cause trouble thereby making people suffer. The life of ZANU PF is within 60 days from the first date of the 8th parly seating.
15-10-13 is the date this party will start to die and it will be faster than a man counting from one to ten. In December they will be no ZANU PF. Some people will be shocked to learn that how few are ZANUs, that is when the world will learn how ZANU was stealing elections.
Hezvoko! Bwa! Pamberi nekufa tichitonga
What of those at Victoria Falls? These pseudo poor opportunists who lie to the electorate claiming that they are for certain principles yet truly they are looking for money must be expelled from whatever party. They are free to join Zanupf. Even if the MDC-T looses its okay than to tolerate people who do not follow their party policies. I would say the same even if they were Zanupf. We want people who will account for what they say during their campaign not opportunists or people without principles. Just chancers!
For the record, this is what the constitution says about removal of councillors from office.
278 Tenure of seats of members of local authorities
(1) The seat of a mayor, chairperson or councillor of a local authority becomes vacant in the circumstances set out in section 129, as if he or she were a Member of Parliament, any reference to the Speaker or President of the Senate in section 129(1)(k) being construed as a reference to the Minister responsible for local government.
Nw section 192(1) (k) says:
(k) if the Member has ceased to belong to the political party of which he or she was a member when elected to Parliament and the political party concerned, by written notice to the Speaker or the President of the Senate, as the case may be, has declared that the Member has ceased to belong to it;
I wish these councillors knew what they were doing because they were tempted believing in the old constitution where the Minister responsible for local govt had the sole powers to remove councillors from office. Sellouts have no rest on earth and in heaven unless they repent.
Fire them a Million times…..how can they wine and dine with vipers?
thus good move,the sell out deserve it.They would be amazed that even at Zanu they won’t be welcomed.
thats a red herring right there. The councillors exercised their democratic rights. Pachinopisa patop saka to deflect that, the leadrship is now stirring waters at grassroots. Thats not where the problem lies. If the recent by-elections are anything to go by, the MDC-T is likely to lose the four seats to ZANU-PF.
Secret ballot wonongedza munhu kuti wavhotera nhingi. Ngavaende kucourt ava. Besides they can defect and still remain councillors. Kupusa kwenyu maDC. Mazoparara manje. Pedzeranayi ikoko hatiuyiko. Rega ndimbodyara fodya papurazirangu randakatorera mubhunu
kana mapedza mugopinda mubyo.nekuti zviri kuno makara asionekwi
We are eagerly waiting for the bye – election, the opportunity has presented itself for our party to wrestle the four wards from the sellouts, very soon there will be no one left.
asi hapana kuitwa secret secret ballot?? Ko makaziva sei pavakavhotera? Ko chiminya ignatius chombo anozvibvuma here? Haaa mdc tazopererwa..madhuku tangayako tiuye hedu
Aiwazve, MDC t yakapusa. They started this nonsense of bribing people when they bribed MPs from Ncube’s party. Prior to that Roy had actually bribed back into the party the likes of Biti, again from Ncube’s party. So, there is nothing new; the guys are used to being bribed. Its a very very stupid decision they have made. MT is creating news to diffuse the call for his own resignation being advocated for.

Zanu PF or MDC no person elected on a party ticket must behave as recklessly as these chaps. Shows they have no principles and dont deserve to be councillors. Ngavanovoterana varikumba vachidziya zuva
In South Africa there are CIO sponsored organisation eg Peace and democracy created to sabotage the MDC T.
MDC muchamama chete. …
Better to purge the whole councillors who sold out and have committed cadres. Viva Morgan!
Kuzoti nyika kuitonga mungaigona here muchiti wese atadza kuita zvamunoda muvengi?Peole can never be your robots.they can make decisions.
Pigs the article is in English , chirungu , go get yr fees back or go kukwaedza mavana e mahure
Where is their loyalty?These councillors are cheating the people who voted them into office.Its like eating the hand that feeds you.If these councillors got bribes then they will now realise how stupid they are as Zanu will now discard them like old shoes,their political careers finished.
mazuva arikungofamba mwachewe muchingotukana pasina chabuda….
at somhqaba mthunzi yu are a vampire surviving on blood, pushing tribal card makamama. chiitai mtuwakazi region renyu tivone vana mbwa. dividing zimbabweas on tribal issues. vatengesi kumusha.kana kuda munhwi wavo. thank you manicaland province
We are slowly but surely approaching the next elections.The Movement for Dictatorial Change will be no more.
@mambara winning through Nikuv is not what we are looking for. We are looking for the will of the people.
Ngavaende ngavaenda. They thought they were bigger than the party.
itayi zvenyu and you will loose all the seats to ZANUPF.ndoParty yakarongeka
By elections will be held and the MDC will lose. Chamagona hapana.
Ngavanoita mahwindi kumabhazi aMupfumi
I thought all along the problem was Welshman NCUBE WHO WAS Called a CIO by this iudiotic party with no leader…what now today? mati madii!!!!!!!!!you bloody tribalists!!!!
The good part with MDC T in particular Morgan he has zero tolerance to corruption and unorthodox moves. Morgan on Misimirambwa could have dismissed him than warning him at a dinner.
Way to go. These guys were elected on a MDC ticket,to serve the people in their respective wards and they have not only betrayed the party but also the electorate.
Well wats a move.we as MDC T we don’t tolerate nonsense better to behave ooooo u gonna b jobless.even a membership card we can take it too uyende uno former yo own NIKUV PF.
These people were elected mdc want to impose this is why they lost because of this behaviour
Rubbish coming out of the bin , they knew there were in a bin , Morgan is useless so is ZANU fuck off maku dhodi embwa
Way to go. Remember an eye for an eye and make them blind. Zanupf bought power for 3billion usd from the jews. They will continue to use money to fake popularity.
Well done Morgie for More. Discipline is important even If i remain with you alone ASIJIKI !!! Viva MDC-T 4 Life !!!!
Matanga kusaziva mitemo again imi vanambwa. Fuck shit.
Let the sinners be thrown in2 hell of unquinchable fire, where they’ll weep & knush their teeth!
What a move! That is one of the good qualifications for leadership that we look forward to in MDC. let chuff be burned at the bins
This is a very good move by MDC.Anyone who does not want to obey party rules whether be it Zanu-PF or MDC deserves to be expelt.They have shown that they were in MDC for personal reasons not to serve the people.If you hold memebership to a particular organisation you need to obey the rules, if you do not, it is better you do not pretend to be a member of that organisation.They must be embarrassed of themselves.If Tsvangirai is becoming a dictator there are internal structures that are used to air these complaints rather than behave in a very retrogressive manner whose overall outcome is to weaken the party and make it a laughing stock to its enemies.
spray them.
Job well done MDC we don’t need sellouts in our party azihambe izinja
Good move.no nonsense.the councillors now jobless,very good!!
