Today, the Supreme Court has granted MDC-T acting President, Thokozani Khuphe a further extension to hold an extraordinary congress for electing new leadership for the party. The Court said she now has up to 30 November after it had initially gave her 3 months back in March. Khuphe argued failure to comply with the initial order was due to the Covid-19 lock down regulations that were imposed.

Political analyst Kimberely Tariro Mamhende said, “This is a welcome development. The MDC T leadership crisis will be solved on 30th November 2020.”

She added that, “The battle between Mudzuri, Khupe , Komichi and Mwonzora will intensify from today.”

2014 MDC T youth structure has took over the control of Harvest House.

Mwonzora’s youth have been accused of beating Khupe’s aid Mr Mashumba.

More running battle among MDC T Mudzuri, Komichi, Mwonzora and Khupe factions as MDC T congress approaches.

Few months ago, Mwonzora created fake nominations , however, team Mudzuri, Komichi and Khupe refused to acknowledge those “Mwonzora nominations.”

On another story, Zanu PF led government has stopped all by-elections in Zimbabwe today.

Political analyst Kimberely Tariro Mamhende said, “ZANU PF has dictatorial tendencies. Now they want to be on party state. I am surprised that Vice president Chiwenga who is also minister of health, has issued a ban on all by-elections citing covid -19 epidemic. However, the same government has opened schools. Is corona virus spread through by-elections? ZANU PF does not want opposition in parliament.”
