Tsvangirai axes ‘reckless’ officials

More heads are likely to roll this week as the MDC-T plans to act on more “foul-mouthed” officials that made statements deemed to be against party policy.

Several senior party officials confirmed in interviews with NewsDay yesterday that a crackdown was looming and that heads would roll.

The officials who spoke in confidence said the clampdown, which started last week with deputy spokesperson Tabitha Khumalo being demoted for advocating for the decriminalisation of commercial sex work, was now targeting three legislators — Eddie Cross (Bulawayo South MP), Sithembile Mlotshwa (Matobo Senator) and Morgan Femai (Chikomo Senator).
