By Paul Nyathi|MDC Alliance Bulawayo provincial spokesperson who is also the Member of Parliament for Magwegwe Constituency Felix Magalela Mafa has confirmed that the party is involved in serious disunity and factional fights against its President Nelson Chamisa.
In a letter to The Editor of ZimEye.com, Magalela Mafa called on members of the party to unite to avoid destroying the party.
He also implored on the party leadership to stop bringing in former ZANU PF members into the structures of the party as these are bent on destroying the party from inside.
The full unedited letter by Mafa reads as follows:
“As long there is disunity amongst us and unsolved primaries, double candidates, stealing, impositions, underestimation of other alliance parties and backstabbing of the president, few will sympathise with us, let alone the judiciary.
Mind you they are also humans! There is no moral high ground for us to be heard as a serious lot. Let us put our house in order to avoid embarrassment. This court judgement is devastating and calling for new impetus as a United Team. I suggest that we as a party resolve pending issues internally, the rest will respect, join and follow us as well. There is compelling need to swallow pride and go to the party’s basics before its too long or we will rapture.
As a constitutional and democratic party (MDC), let us revert to those founding principles of our holy bible (The Constitution) and all will sing “Hallelujah”. Let us desist from bringing in ex-ZANU-PF and Border Gezi to high positions, because their agenda is unknown, dangerous and they’ll crush us as we have seen some highlights. Let’s be a party that views everything with a critical eye and mind for it blossoms to success. Let’s not just praise things without introspection for we might cry tomorrow. Let’s do away with factions, hate, pride, selective application of justice, internal gossiping, bootlicking, violence, disliking others, disrespect of the party constitution, discrimination by age for it is a natural phenomenon that no one can stop. The reverse to the above demerits is turning to God and seeking extra progressive guidance.
I thank you once more.
Felix Magalela Mafa Sibanda“
