Chamisa fires Vic Falls mayor

MDC Alliance president Nelson Chamisa has shown Victoria Falls mayor Somvelo Dhlamini the exit door after he was voted in by eight councillors in defiance of the party’s order to allow Margaret Varley to stand in for the alliance during mayoral elections held last month.

Dhlamini yesterday confirmed that he received the expulsion letter, which was signed by the party’s Matabeleland North provincial secretary Mxolisi Ndlovu.

“I received the letter and I am still pondering the next step,” he said.
