“Thokozani Khupe was fired by Parliament and she doesn’t have any MPs on what basis is she is now claiming the money from Parliament. Mai ava vakutodhunya”

By Farai D Hove| THE RENEGADE and expelled former deputy president of the MDC-T Thokozani Khupe has sued her former boss, Nelson Chamisa for $1,8 million.

This was after Chamisa withdrew his court case in which he was suing her over using the party name, MDC-T.

Following the development Khupe’s deputy Obert Gutu has said “this shows that we are the legitimate MDC-T.”

He said “the legitimate, lawful and constitutional MDC-T led by Hon. Dr. Thokozani Khupe, has instructed our lawyers to institute legal action to recover the sum of $1,8 million that was improperly and fraudulently paid to our erstwhile comrades in terms of the Political Parties (Finance) Act.”

But the Chamisa group told the US based VOA, the Khupe faction is daydreaming.

Stanford Mukasa, publicity and information secretary of the MDC-USA Assembly, told VOA Studio 7 that “they are wasting their time as this won’t even win them an election.”

Khupe and Chamisa have been fighting over the control of the party following the death of MDC founding president Morgan Tsvangirai early this year.

The MDC Deputy Treasurer General, Chalton Hwende also waded in saying,
“Thokozani Khupe was fired by Parliament and she doesn’t have any MPs on what basis is she is now claiming the money from Parliament. Mai ava vakutodhunya”
