Disgraced..Mayor Fidze

Terrence Mawawa| Masvingo| Masvingo City Mayor Hubert Fidze and six MDC councillors, have been suspended from participating in party activities -for sympathising with the ruling party Zanu PF party.
As factional battles continue in the crisis torn opposition party,the district executive has suspended the six councillors for working in cahoots with Zanu PF to sabotage the Morgan Tsvangirai led party’s programmes and principles.
Further worsened by leader Tsvangirai’s recent public expose that he has cancer leading to open warfare between two main factions emerging one apparently led by party Vice-President Thokozani khupe against another led by youthful Nelson Chamisa. More party members even in outside structures including South-Africa are being suspended, ZimEye has been receiving reports of increased factional fights there.
The other five councilors suspended by the embattled opposition party are Godfrey Kurauone of ward 4,Daniel Mberikunashe,ward 5,Richard Musekiwa,ward 7,James Chiwara of ward 7 and Babylon Beta of ward 9.
According to minutes compiled by the MDC district executive ,the councilors have dismally failed to represent the party’s principles in the city council.
The six have also been accused of tarnishing the party’s reputation by associating with Zanu PF.
The MDC won six out of the 10 wards contested in Masvingo Urban in the 2013 polls.
“MDC-T has the majority of the councilors at the civic centre but they are not influential. They have failed to influence policy change and our members are being victimized in their presence.”
“Our councilors are working with Zanu PF to amass personal gains at the expense of the suffering people of Masvingo. The councilors have allocated themselves commercial stands and they have failed to come up with a tangible solution to the labour dispute,”read the minutes.
It is understood the district disciplinary committee will present its findings to the provincial executive next month.
