Thank you, Tsitsi, for asking about the Mwonzora issue, it is an important historical point to note and it must be explained too. The MDC-T went to congress in 2014 and elected Thokozani Khupe as its Vice President. Following his cancer diagnosis, Morgan Tsvangirai was approached by General Engelbert Rugeje, who advised him that his party was too important an institution to be left in the hands of Thokozani Khupe in the event that he did not win his battle with cancer. He then unconstitutionally appointed two Vice Presidents, Nelson Chamisa and Elias Mudzuri, on 15 July 2016. Advocate Eric Matinenga, who was the MDC-T Constitutional Affairs Minister during the GNU and is still one of Zimbabwe’s top lawyers, wrote an advisory paper to Tsvangirai, stating that the appointments were against the party’s constitution, which clearly said the Vice President must be elected at congress, not appointed by the President. The appointments stood until Morgan Tsvangirai’s death in February 2018. According to the MDC-T’s own constitution, the person to take over was supposed to be Khupe. However, Chamisa and the top six did what they did, and Chamisa took over. Mwonzora became a creation of that 2016 unconstitutional appointment by Tsvangirai, after Khupe took the matter to court and won and but then lost to Mwonzora at their congress. As I said in my previous tweet, ZANUPF owes us nothing. It is our duty not to create avenues for ZANUPF to manipulate. ZANUPF exploited these divisions, as is often the case in politics, but did not create them. The MDC-T’s internal legal and constitutional issues opened the door for ZANUPF! It is also important to note that many of us warned of the dangers of these appointments, but the cultic following Tsvangirai enjoyed was often abused—at times even through violence—to silence anyone within the party who objected. Even ZANUPF, with all its power, actually amends its constitution when it wants to make changes like those introduced by Tsvangirai. Mnangagwa amended the constitution to remove the running mate clause to deal with his “Chiwenga problem”, and Mugabe amended the ZANUPF constitution when removing Joice Mujuru and appointing Mnangagwa in her place.
