Bhebhe slaps Mwonzora in the face

Former MDC-T organising secretary Abednego Bhebhe has slapped MDC-T president Douglas Mwonzora in the face after he said he did not recognise his leadership and the party had no legal standing to readmit him to its structures.

Bhebhe was expelled from the troubled opposition party in November last year for supporting MDC Alliance members who had filed a High Court challenge to stop the Supreme Court-ordered party extraordinary congress (EOC) to replace MDC founding leader Morgan Tsvangirai.

He was supposed to be one of the presidential candidates, alongside Thokozani Khupe, Mwonzora, Morgen Komichi and Elias Mudzuri, but was fired for his alleged closeness to MDC Alliance led by Nelson Chamisa.
