Staff Reporter |The drama surrounding MDC President, Morgan Tsvangirai’s controversial appointment of two more Vice Presidents, got more intricate earlier today after his deputy Thokozani Khupe and two other senior officials refused to endorse the appointments.
The two Vice Presidents are Nelson Chamisa and Elias Mudzuri.
Earlier yesterday ZimEye sources had told us that Tsvangirai had in the afternoon reversed the appointments citing flaws in the interpretation of the MDC constitution. However, after contacting the MDC leader directly at his Highlands home, he was adamant he had done the right thing and was not going back on the appointments.
So deep were hostilities in the troubled opposition party, at today’s meeting, that it did not last for more than 20 minutes, with some senior party members apparently urging Tsvangirai to split the party. It is unlikely that the MDC will survive a third split after the two previous ones left it weakened and unable to take Zanu PF and other emerging opposition parties on. Khupe and her backers are said to have walked out.
Tsvangirai is not well and has those close to his condition who sympathise with him, as he is under going chemotherapy, and has to travel to South Africa at regular intervals, at times dealing with the side effects of the medication. He seems temporarily incapacitated to deal with the deepening fissures within a movement he has led for almost two decades.
Reports say Khupe got the backing of top party members, national organising secretary Abednicho Bhebhe, secretary general Douglas Mwonzora, spokesperson Obert Gutu, Lovemore Moyo and Lynette Gore.
On the other hand Tsvangirai was supported by Thabitha Khumalo Charlton Hwende, Amos Chibaya, and Murisi Zvizvai.
Other committe members Theresa Makone and Happymore Chidziva absconded the meeting.

Khuphe feels threatened by Chamisa. She was too comfortable forgetting that it is not entitlement. As for Bhebhe, he walked out with Ncube before so this is not new. Uzaphenduka kuphela.
But something tells me that this news site is not telling the truth. Its just too crap.

Khupe should leave if she wants, she is power hungry only and lacks foresight.
It looks like Tabitha Khumalo is coming is as Vice President if Khupe wants to leave MDC-T.The National Council will have a vote.
