Numerous riot police officers swarmed the MDC-T party’s Harvest House offices on Friday morning as the party convened a crucial National Council meeting meant to discuss a letter written by Deputy Treasurer Elton Mangoma.
Speculation was rife that Mangoma would be expelled from the party after preparatory minutes leaked stating that anyone who talks to the media is subject to disciplinary action. The statements were read to refer to Mangoma who early this year opened a discussion proposing that party leader Morgan Tsvangirai should consider resigning.
At the time of writing youths believed to be protesters were seen descending on the building.
Sources close to the meeting told ZimEye that Mr. Tsvangirai was plotting to suspend both Mangoma and Secretary General Tendai Biti.
Meanwhile a meeting was convened on Thursday and a source narrated the current heated tension saying,
“The intra-party war is getting tough. Whilst the going is getting tough the Tsvangirai faction is now ready to fire Elton Mangoma and more violence may be expected. Denford Ngadziore, Washington Gaga, Yvonne Musarurwa, James Chidhakwa, Stan Manyenga and Shackspear Mukoyi declared in a meeting of 30 people addressed at Harvest House on Thursday by Washington Gaga and Mupindu that Paul and Solomon Madzore, Elton Mangoma, Madzimure, Tapiwa Mashakada, Julius Magarangoma, Hlabangu, Munyanyi and many other provincial leaders are not going to attend the meeting because some of them are already suspended. Among the Tsvangirayi guys is a group of violent thugs meant to deal to with people like Ismael Kauzani and others,” the source said.

Tsvangirayi must step down period. He has been outwitted by Bob too many times.
New leadership please!
just being diversionary like their zanus, address real people’s issues not how thick are their wallets.mdc have learnt lessons from ZANU that you fight for your own not for the people,!!!
Mangoma has formed a new party – IsZANU.

Its now clear that this party is made up of violent people and killers.
Wakanganwa kuzoti, just like ZANU
Nothing wrong by Mangoma.Dictatorial tendencies being displayed by MDC-T are shocking,to say the least.There z no difference between them and ZANU PF
Elton should leave the party peacefully. He played his role. We should say thank you. If you join any organisation you are bound by its constitution, rules and regulations and if you can’t do with those rules and regulations you can only change them through established procedures. Likewise leadership can be changed through constitutional means and not through fast track like the land reform of Robert Mugabe. Elton should be free to join anyother party including Zanu pf or form his own party where leadership can be changed willy-nilly.
Eh, eh, just be careful MDC-T how you deal with these issues of intra-party dissonance. Why do I have have a feeling that, despite all his other weaknesses, old Mugabe is a class act in bringing clearly different people together? Just do be careful how you deal with this ‘minor’ issue because when you finally get into power (?????) Elton’s sin is kindergarten stuff compared to what you will have to deal with.
this is signalling the death of MDC, Mangoma abudirira mission yake bt well let him be careful coz he has cases to answer kuZESA. He awarded the tender for pre-paid meters to his son…what a corrupt idiot he is. Zimboz takuvara nenhamo iye ndipo paavakutanga kuda kutoparadza opposition yakadzidza its past mistakes and yava ready to fight the enermy (ZANU PF). Very few pple will support that idiot i tell u, atleast tsvangson vane support yevanhu vakawanda
Its now clear that this party is made up of violent people and killers.
