IT is all over in the media that MDC-T acting leader Thokozani Khupe expelled MDC Alliance leader Nelson Chamisa from the MDC-T party.

Very interesting indeed, as your action shows you have not properly read and understood the contents of the Supreme Court judgment, in the MDC vs Elias Mashavira and Others (SC56/2020) of March 31, 2020, which requires the MDC-T to “go back and start from February 15, 2018”.

The judgment only mandates you to lead the process for the holding of an extraordinary meeting by June 29, failure which the national chairman as at the time of the demise of the late Morgan Tsvangirai, former Speaker of Parliament Lovemore Moyo, if he is interested or his deputy then, Morgen Komichi, in the event that Moyo is not interested as seems to be the case, will have 30 days to implement the judgment, failure which it becomes water under the bridge.

The answer which is written all over the Supreme Court judgment, which have to be very analytic to understand, is that your MDC-T, which held its congress in 2018 and the MDC Alliance led by Chamisa, can choose to continue as they currently are.

What both you and Chamisa should have done is go back to your MDC-T which had its congress in 2018 and talk to your colleagues in those respective institutions and say, “what do we do in the next 120 days in the event that the extraordinary congress suggested by the Supreme Court succeeds, what do we do if the extraordinary congress does not succeed?”
