MDC-T National Organising Secretary Abednico Bhebhe has refused to attend a disciplinary hearing called by Secretary General Douglas Mwonzora accusing them of not following procedures and being resistant to the truth.

This followed an announcement by Mwonzora that Bhebhe and Harare Provincial youth leader Paul Gorekore will be disciplined for bringing the name of the party into disrepute.

“The leadership hereby ordered to commence and pursue disciplinary action against these two in terms of the party constitution.

“The national council was of the opinion that there were acts of indiscipline by Mr Gorekore and Mr Bhebhe but we resolved that the two would be dealt with in terms of our constitution. We want to assure our supporters that we will be firm with our own,” said Mwonzora.

But in response, Bhebhe said he will not attend the hearing as he had only heard it through the media.

“I will not attend such a disciplinary hearing being called through the media,” Bhebhe told NewZimbabwe.com Monday.

“The person who did that knows what needs to be done in terms of the procedures and process when one is being called to appear for a disciplinary hearing, and I am sure that has not been done.

“The party leadership should not be afraid of being told the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.” added Bhebhe.
