We’re re-oiling our machinery: MDC

THE Nelson Chamisa-led MDC has described the ongoing restructuring exercise, which has often turned violent ahead of the party’s elective congress next month, as a necessary “re-oiling” antidote to harden them for future battles against the ruling Zanu PF.

Party spokesperson Jacob Mafume told NewsDay yesterday that although the restructuring exercise had triggered violent scenes in some parts of the country, adequate mechanisms had now been put in place to ensure the process runs smoothly.

Violence flared up in Bulawayo, Beitbridge, Harare, Chitungwiza and Chipinge at the weekend as MDC bigwigs jostled for posts.
