The MDC led by founding President Morgan Tsvangirai has suspended its MP for Zengeza East Alexio Musundire for 2 years, over allegations he incited violence against fellow party members. Former Chitungwiza Mayor Israel Marange and the entire executive in the town were also suspended following charges of corruption in the allocation of residential stands.
Details about what MP Musundire did, have not yet been released but former Mayor Marange was in August this year convicted and jailed for accepting US$1000 in bribes for the allocation of residential stands. The party has since made the decision to suspend the entire provincial executive 'to ascertain the complicity and role of the province in all the shenanigans in council.'
Speaking to Newsreel on Tuesday MDC spokesman Nelson Chamisa said they had made the drastic decision to weed out the bad apples from the party who were following ZANU PF tendencies. He said the suspensions were the beginning of a nationwide campaign to weed out corrupt officials especially in local government structures who were abusing taxpayers. 'We cannot deploy cadres to abuse the taxpayers and be reading from the ZANU PF books of looting and corruption,' he added.
Although MP Musundire has been suspended he will continue to serve as an MP Chamisa said. This will mean for two years he cannot hold any party positions or participate in MDC activities. Asked if the suspension of the MP did not give ammunition to MDC critics who blame them for intra-party violence, Chamisa said violence had become a religion 'espoused' by ZANU PF and used as a 'weapon to transact political business.' This he said would require time to cure and the MDC was already leading the way.

The true colors of the puppet party are slowly coming out in the open as evidenced by the showing of the violence within the sellout party. MDC, especially MDC-T has a culture of violence which started at the time of its formation and was nurtured by Mr. Boycott himself. For the stooge party to split into two, it was because of factionalism and violence. If anyone wants to know more about the culture of violence in the CIA/MI6 created party they should ask Welshman Ncube and Priscilla Misihairambwi-Mushonga, they experienced violence first hand when their cars were forcibly and violently seized away from them.
At the time of the formation of the violent party, a lot of people, especially business people who refused to close their shops were beaten and their shops were looted by thugs that were being nurtured by Mr. Boycott. The violence then extended to killing their own people and blaming it on Zanu-pf and yet the revolutionary party was there when other parties were formed and participated in elections. Cases in point are ZUM, ZUD, FORUM and many others.
No violence was reported or experienced when these parties were still in existence but when MDC came into the political game violence was from then on reported everyday and death of so-called MDC supporters became the order of the day. Up to this day any person who dies is an MDC supporter and whether they die of AIDS, malaria, cholera, BP or sugar, they are said to have been killed by Zanu-pf supporters and/or war veterans.
However, the wise ones say; 'Rinemanyanga hari putirwi' (Anything that has 'growing' horns cannot be covered for ever). MDC-T is now unable to cover-up its violent culture and its corruption but still you hear idiots like CHAMISA saying "violence had become a religion 'espoused' by ZANU PF and used as a 'weapon to transact political business" and "We cannot deploy cadres to abuse the taxpayers and be reading from the ZANU PF books of looting and corruption".
As a perfect, straightforward and honest party, nhai Chamisa, why do you read from ZANU PF books of violence and corruption? Why not read from your own books when you have plenty of them given to you by the CIA and MI6. It means the books are not from Zanu-pf but from CIA and MI6 who have more to gain when there is violence than Zimbabweans, both from Zanu-pf and MDC-T. Very soon we shall be hearing your sponsors complaining of misuse of donated billions of filthy funds.
All this filthy foul talk is an attempt to blame others for the stooge partys failures but they will continue to be exposed until they become completely naked for everybody, including the gullible ones, to see. If an entire council could be suspended for corruption when the council is only nine months old, what about after five years which is the full term? If, since February 2009, more than four MPs of the puppet party could be convicted of violence and corruption in the courts of law; what about after another year from now? I shudder to think how the situation will be then. However, I am going to have the last laugh - nhaka tichaonerera!!!
