“Friday the 13th. That day again!,” wrote Nelson Chamisa’s spokesman, Luke Tamborinyoka.

By Farai D Hove| As she received backing from Harare based activist Linda Masarira, the expelled MDC Deputy President Thokozani Khupe today slapped her former boss, Nelson Chamisa with a lawsuit over use of the party name.

Khupe was de-robed and simultaneously expelled from the MDC-T party after nearly 8  months or bitter fights with the late Morgan Tsvangirai and later Chamisa who is now Tsvangirai’s successor.

Masarira last night criticised Chamisa saying, “this was the worst decision made by the Chamisa faction. At this juncture I am forced to follow the voice of reason to support constitutionalism and to protect the interests of a woman politician. Zimbabwe Women In Politics condemns this move and will stand in solidarity with Dr Thokozani Khupe.”

Following that outrage, Khupe has today, Friday the 13th, sued Chamisa. Khupe’s spokesman, Witness Dube last night told ZimEye.com Dr. Khupe is erecting her barbs against Chamisa.

The expelled former Deputy President of the MDC party, Thokozani Khupe’s spokesman spoke to ZimEye.com just after her removal from parliament. – CLICK BELOW TO LISTEN-

 

Earlier on Dube said in writing,

“MDC-T Acting President, Hon Dr Thokozani Khupe, finds her recall from parliament as a malicious act of interfering into the internal matters of a political party, considering that she had long written to parliament notifying them of a leadership crisis in the party. This leadership crisis is currently awaiting settlement before the High Court of Zimbabwe, and it is therefore difficult to understand what legal criteria the Parliament of Zimbabwe used in taking sides with the other faction of the party. The Acting President has instructed her legal counsel to seek legal relief on this matter.”
