The Nelson Chamisa-led MDC has written to local government minister July Moyo recalling the expelled Chegutu mayor Henry Muchatibaya.
MDC secretary general Chalton Hwende on August 20 2019 wrote to Moyo advising him to remove Muchatibaya from council since “he is no longer a member of the MDC.”
In the build up to the MDC demonstrations that rocked the country Muchatibaya castigated the protests.
“MDC-Alliance is now being run by selfish and power-hungry people who are not working for the people, but for positions. These people have their selfish interests and they are using people to push their selfish agendas. These Friday demonstrations that are being preached by MDC-Alliance leadership are tools being used to push for positions.
“The party is being run as a project and totally different from when we joined. There are people who still do not see that they are being used by this leadership,” Muchatibaya was quoted by the state media as saying.
Muchatibaya urged the leadership to go “back to the ground and fix the problems” before the electorate loses trust in them.
