MDC Alliance fires executive over ‘leaked audio’

THE MDC Alliance national standing committee yesterday recommended the expulsion of Bulawayo province women’s assembly chairperson, Tendai Masotsha over her utterances in a leaked audio that the opposition party wanted to burn down government buildings on July 31.

Masotsha in August reportedly dragged the MDC Alliance name in the mud after she was accused of facilitating the abduction of journalism student Tawanda Muchehiwa, nephew to ZimLive editor, Mduduzi Mathuthu, by suspected State security agents on July 31.

The party instituted internal investigations into her alleged involvement and last week announced that it had absolved Masotsha of any wrongdoing for lack of incriminating evidence against her.
