In an episode of turbulent political circus pitting the MDC rival factions, Thokozani Khupe has recalled legislators.

The Speaker of the House of Assembly, Jacob Mudenda notified the August house that four members of parliament from the MDC Alliance will no longer represent their constituencies following a recall by their “party leader”.

The four MPs include Prosper Mutseyami (Dangamvura), Charlton Hwende (Kuwadzana East), Thabitha Khumalo (proportional representation) and Senator Lillian Timveous (Midlands).

According to reports, the four were targetted after refusing to recognize the supreme court judgement that declared Nelson Chamisa an illegitimate leader of the MDC placing Khupe at the helm.

Meanwhile, MDC Alliance Vice President Hon Tendai Biti speaking to the media said:

“The illegal recall of our MDC Alliance MPs Chairperson Thabita Khumalo, SG Hon Chalton Hwende , Hon Prosper Mutseyami & from Parliament is reflective of how paranoid and desperate Emmerson is in using the State to destroy our movement led by President Nelson Chamisa. We are MDC Alliance nothing else.

Throughout history, authoritarian regimes and their enablers have tried to hijack and crush people’s causes. We saw this in the fight against decolonization. Emmerson is not the first. The thing is the struggle for freedom and emancipation can never be smouldered by force or chicanery.

We have never been cowards. We have never yielded on matters of principle. We have been in the trenches for decades. We shall finish off what we started in 1999. So, Mr Mnangagwa, nothing you will do will make us retreat or surrender. Not your guns, not your Parliament”
