MDC secretary general, Douglas Mwonzora has denied that he
had a hand in the court application which has seen Nelson Chamisa being removed
as leader.
“The allegations are false and extremely malicious. First
of all, the allegations were filed in September well before I knew I was going
to contest or not.
“Secondly, I don’t understand why those making allegations
against me are understating the capacity of the applicant who was our
organising secretary for Gokwe.
“Thirdly, I am actually listed as the fifth respondent in
that matter meaning I was also sued. It is clear that there are people who
always want somebody to blame and they want to use me as a scapegoat. However,
I am not going to be their punching bag any more,” he told Newsday.
Mwonzora said on March 4 last year, he shared his opinion
with the party leadership regarding the possible way forward. He, however,
refused to share the opinion that he provided.
“It has gone too far, I am not going to be a punching bag
any more,” he fumed over the allegations that he was the brains behind the
application.
