Yesterday, we carried a report that aides belonging to Khupe were assaulted by the security team that referred to a “president Mwonzora” ahead of the party’s national standing committee meeting at the Morgan Richard Tsvangirai House.
It now appears that Khupe and self-imposed party secretary-general Douglas Mwonzora have set swords upon each other, ready to fight ugly to win power in September.
Khupe feels she must be president of the MDC-T because the late party founder Morgan Tsvangirai allegedly said so two days before his demise.
There is Mwonzora, who thinks he has the acumen and the people to be leader of the opposition and Morgen Komichi, who thinks he is the real deal and people see the resurrection of Tsvangirai in him.
Mwonzora’s use of the military and police — two security arms forever identified with the oppression of opposition leaders, especially Tsvangirai — means he has already ruined his opposition credentials.
