Farai Dziva|Former MDC A MP for Masvingo Urban Constituency, Tongai Matutu, who has been disqualified from contesting against James Gumbi for the provincial chairmanship, says he is not bitter.

Matutu was barred from taking on James Gumbi in the race for the province’s most powerful post because the party Constitution prohibits members who defect to other parties from taking party in electoral processes for a period of five years.

“I am not bitter at all and I accept the verdict.I will remain on the ground working for the party and I will be back in the fold.

This is not the end of the the world.You see these things happen in politics and life has to go on as usual.

I am waiting for the announcement of results.Some people have asked me to lodge an appeal but I will not do so because that is not the way we operate,” said Matutu.
