Morgan Tsvangirai and Nelson Chamisa supporting November coup

Job Sikhala slams late Morgan Tsvangirai and Nelson Chamisa for supporting November 2017 coup.FIREBRAND MDC deputy national chairperson,

Job Sikhala has said politicians including those in the opposition who supported the November 2017 coup that toppled the now late former President Robert Mugabe failed to see the military was leading the country down the garden path.MDC founding leader Morgan Tsvangirai, who passed away early last year, endorsed then Vice President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s rise to power following the coup, with both Tsvangirai and his successor Nelson Chamisa attending the new Zanu PF leader’s first inauguration in Harare

December last year.Sikhala was responding to questions during Thursday’s Town House public discussion on the State of the Nation address.The discussion forum was organised by Voice of America and Media Centre, on why opposition members had taken part in the 18 November, 2018 march that preceded Mugabe’s resignation under pressure from the army.“Exclude me, I did not participate in that nonsense.

 Firstly, being a scholar of history not as a lawyer alone, knowing well that where the military has taken a leading role in the changing of government, nowhere in Africa have soldiers led a democratic change.“We knew we were going through a military coup and a military coup would only be supported by those people who did not have the eyes to see that we are being taken into a trap of a worse dictatorship,” said Sikhala.Tsvangirai and his party’s leadership attended the coup’s main rally at Zimbabwe Grounds in Highfields while thousands also took part in the march demanding Mugabe “should go.”.

According to Chamisa and Tsvangirai’s late daughter Vimbai, the late former Prime Minister died a bitter man after Mnangagwa fooled him with a promise that he would set-up a National Transitional Authority (NTA) before elections were called.


As it happened, Tsvangirai died just before Mnangagwa called for elections that he would later win controversially.After the coup, Mnangagwa chose to go it alone, only appointing few seemingly independent technocrats into his government.Sikhala explained why he thought Zimbabweans marched.“Zimbabweans were tired of lies, for example that poverty is because of sanctions.Secondly, they had a chance to get rid of a stubborn and murderous Mugabe who killed thousands in Matabeleland in what was (one of) Africa’s first genocides.

Chamisa's lawyer spoke out about Mnangagwa's fraud evidence during the election

OPPOSITION MDC leader Nelson Chamisa will launch a renewed bid to oust President Emmerson Mnangagwa by seeking to have the Constitutional Court (ConCourt) review its own judgment based on “new evidence.”.Chamisa’s lawyer Thabani Mpofu said after studying academic works on the elections published by self-exiled former minister Jonathan Moyo, they were now making efforts to have the judgment on the 2018 presidential elections set aside.The country’s top court ruled that Chamisa had failed to prove allegations of fraud during the presidential election, a vote which left the nation polarised and violence on the streets of the capital Harare.Mpofu said the basis of approaching the ConCourt was because they now believe that the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (Zec) presented to the courts false information and, therefore, their call for the judgment to be set aside.“The general rule is that once a final judgment or order has been given, the judge who gave it or any other judge of parallel juri...
