Chamisa roasts Mwonzora

MDC’S standing committee meeting on Wednesday nearly degenerated into a war of words after a faction aligned to party leader Nelson Chamisa, accused secretary-general Douglas Mwonzora of bringing the party’s name into disrepute, allegations he firmly refuted.

Chamisa and Mwonzora are likely to lock horns at the upcoming elective congress next month after the latter won a tightly contested race for secretary-general post in 2014.

Chamisa was later appointed vice-president by the late Morgan Tsvangirai and was elevated to party leader at his death.
