The sources indicated that Molokele tendered his resignation to MDC Secretary General Charlton Hwende after he got frustrated of being side-lined as prominence is being given to his deputy, Luke Tamborinyoka.

The resignation by Molokele is said to have been acknowledged and accepted by Hwende who is said to have already made some moves to appoint Tamborinyoka as the new national spokesperson.

Vice president, Professor Welshman Ncube is reported to be against the resignation as he wants Molokele to retain the position for regional balance. Professor Ncube persuaded Molokele to withdraw the resignation

The sources revealed that Hwende has strongly refused to reverse the resignation despite a directive to do so by party leader Nelson Chamisa.

Efforts to get a comment from both Hwende and Molokele were not successful at the time of writing.
