‘Mutambara shameless liar’

The wrangle over control of the MDC took a new twist two weeks ago after newly-elected party leader Welshman Ncube described former party president Arthur Mutambara as a “shameless liar” following the latter’s claims that he did not recognise the congress that ousted him from office.

Ncube made the stinging attacks in his supporting affidavit filed at the High Court where the party is seeking an order barring Mutambara from acting as the party’s principal in the coalition government.

The MDC and party secretary-general Priscilla Misihairabwi–Mushonga are the applicants and Mutambara is the respondent in the application filed in February.
