Nelson Chamisa MDC-T secretary general Douglas Mwonzora says he failed to work with MDC Alliance leader Nelson Chamisa accusing him of being dictator and failing to follow laid down laws.
In an interview with the SABC over the weekend, Mwonzora said his fallout with Chamisa was that the latter was unwilling to follow the party’s constitution and a court order.
“He is refusing to follow a simple court order. He is refusing to follow the constitution of the party. For me, constitutions are not there for decoration, they are there to be followed, and if you follow your constitution, you can convince Zimbabweans and the world at large that you are a candidate fit to follow the national Constitution.
“The other difference is to allow Robert Mugabe’s henchmen to take an active part in the party. I respectfully disagree with that. My differences with Honourable Chamisa are not personal, they are differences on the basis of principles,” said Mwonzora.
He also dismissed as “totally rubbish”, reports that the MDC-T had turned to be a Zanu PF and Mnangagwa project meant to destabilise the opposition.
“That is totally rubbish. We have developed a difference in opinion over a simple matter to the court judgment, disregarding the constitution. That does not make us Zanu PF. We have nothing to do with Zanu PF.
“So what you see is a fight between forces of democracy and forces of conservatism, dictatorship. We hope to have our extraordinary congress and put this fight behind us.”
