Farai Dziva|Masvingo Mayor Councillor Collins Maboke has vowed to continue with his duties at the Civic Centre.

In spite of being ordered to step down by MDC A leader Nelson Chamisa, Maboke is unfazed by the directive.

Maboke was given a one-week ultimatum to leave his mayoral post or face expulsion. Maboke has indicated that he will only respond to Chamisa’s threats if he receives communication in writing.

“I was away on the day in question (last Saturday) attending a family bereavement. I cannot be bound by an announcement made in public, more so when I was not even present at the said meeting.

The party has official channels of communicating and I am yet to receive anything, so as of now I am continuing with my mayoral duties,” said Maboke.

“In the event I receive official communication I will then make available my response.”
