The MDC-T led by Dr Thokozani Khupe yesterday held its inaugural national standing committee meeting at Morgan Tsvangirai House, days after reclaiming the headquarters from MDC-Alliance led by Mr Nelson Chamisa.

Many MDC-T veterans, including founding leader the late Mr Morgan Tsvangirai’s brother Manasa, attended the meeting where some senior positions were filled through co-option.

Manasa was appointed as MDC-T secretary for elections.

Other members co-opted into the national standing committee were Mr Elias Mudzuri, as deputy national chairperson, Mr Gift Chimanikire ( deputy national organising secretary), Mr Abednico Bhebhe (national organising secretary) and Mr Shakespeare Mukoyi, interim youth assembly leader.

“The MDC-T you know is here today,” said Dr Khupe.
“We are standing now on our toes.
We are raring to go. Our desire is to make sure that we are an opposition which is ready to build the country.

We want to make sure that Zimbabweans have a better life.”-The Herald
