On Saturday, 26 September 2020 president Nelson Chamisa addressed
e-rally that was watched by millions of MDC Alliance members, supports and stakeholders across the globe.
MDC Alliance was celebrating 21 years of its existence. Charismatic President Nelson Chamisa articulated well the history and the current status of MDC Alliance and way forward.
I have heard many President Nelson Chamisa’s speeches, his e-rally address on Saturday is among the best.
In Masvingo Province, there were 26 consultative meetings that were held across all 26 districts in Masvingo Province.
MDC Alliance National organizing committee led by Honourable Amos Chibaya directed all MDC Alliance structures to meet on 26 and 27 September 2020 “to share their views of many issues concerning the party.”
Wezhira news crew attended all 26 consultative meetings in all 26 districts.
All meetings were highly subscribed. According to attendance registers in all 26 districts, 98% of MDC Alliance members from 2014 and 2018 structures were in attendance.
The high attendance of MDC Alliance members at these 26 meetings shows that MDC Alliance party and President Nelson Chamisa is still popular and control of all structures in Masvingo province.
