GWANDA (ZimEye) – LOCAL Government Minister Ignatius Chombo is set for a fierce clash with the MDC party after suspending Gwanda Mayor Lionel De Necker with immediate effect.
Chombo has launched a fight against MDC and MDC-T councilors as he is on whirlwind tirade against the democratically elected councilors.
But on Wednesday, Chombo dropped another bombshell after suspending De Necker for a ‘flimsy reason.” The minister, who has been treating the local government sector as his fiefdom, wrote a suspension letter to De Necker announcing the suspension for allegedly defying his directive to appoint Mrs P Nkala as a substantive Chamber Secretary for Gwanda Municipality.
The mayor confirmed to ZimEye he recieved the letter and said he was surprised at the decision and was already ‘winding up one or two things’ ready to leave the office as per Chombo’s command; But he elaborated that the directive from Chombo to appoint Mrs P Nkala in question had been dealt with within the appropriate council bodies and it was not his decision as an individual to or no to adhere to the directive.
In a letter in possession of ZimEye, Chombo wrote:
Following your deliberate defiance of my directive of 30 November 2011 issued in terms of Section 314 of the Urban Councils Act (Chapter 29: 15), directing council to appoint Mrs P Nkala as the substantive Chamber Secretary for Gwanda Municipality as approved by the Local Government Board, I hereby, in terms of Section 114 of the afore-cited Act, suspend you from being a councilor for Gwanda Municipality with immediate effect.
“After you received my directive, you proceeded to challenge the activities of the Local Government Board appointed to carry out its responsibilities as specified in the Urban Councils Acvt. Furthermore, you even questioned the credibility of the Local Government Board which was setup in terms of the law thus undermining the powers of both the Minister and Board.
“During the period of your suspension, you shall not conduct any council business within or outside council premises, and you shall not be eligible to receive any form of any remuneration from the council,” wrote Chombo.
But the MDC led by Professor Welshman Ncube has dismissed the suspension and Chombo’s dictatorial tendencies.
Chombo is currently investigating the Bulawayo City Council and heads are set to roll at the MDC-T controlled council. (Zimbabwe, ZimEye)

The so called P. Nkala is as unfortunate as these young and confused fools Mabhena, Mlilo and Hardlife Ndlovu who are now rotting in prison for extortion on behalf of Zanupf. They are illiterate fools who do not know what Chando, Bla Miki, the Gukurahundi are saying about them as Ndebeles. It is pathetic to suffer for Zanupf as a Ndebele when you are being insulted day in day out by Zanupf Shonas just because you are what you are.
the question is what is mrs p nkala doing for ignatius chombo
Sinior mayor Chombo.
