MDC renegade and leader of the MDC T party, Thokozani Khupe is hoping the courts will create supporters for her.

When she launched her party before the 2018 elections, Khupe led less than 20 individuals. Now after last week’s High Court judgement, she has made public claim that she is now the new leader of the MDC party which she deserted 6 months before the death of former leader Morgan Tsvangirai.

The MDC’s treasurer hopeful, David Coltart has said Khupe’s claim to be the leader a party that she has opposed in the 2018 elections and attacked since, is facicial. Coltart said, “Madam Khupe’s response to the judgment of Mushore J is more farcical than the reasoning of the judgment itself.

“Her claim to be the leader of the very party she opposed in the 2018 election and has vilified since is utterly spurious.

“Courts cannot create supporters for politicians.”
