Thokozani Khupe’s MDC T has accused MDC Alliance leader, Nelson Chamisa of sending members of the Vanguard for training in acts of sabotage and insurgency by a Serbian mercenary group.

Testifying before the Commission of Inquiry into the August 1 incidents, MDC-T Spokesperson Linda Masarira told the Commission that Chamisa sent his youths for training which took place in South Africa (Cape Town) and Zambia (Livingstone) under the guise of a civic organization which is an appendage of the MDC.

Masarira made the serious allegations that the whistle blower who tipped her of the development did not subscribe to the training which was disguised as a ‘defend your vote’ workshop using non-violent mechanisms. However, it later turned out to be an induction to revolt against the Government using any means necessary.

Masarira accused MDC leadership of inciting its supporters to commit violence. She said that such truth was what was needed to heal this country.

“It would be very naïve to think that MDC A does not have a radical and militant youth wing which went for a training in Cape Town and Livingstone under the banner of a civic organization which has links to the party, “she said

She further allegeed that there were two groups which were sent for this training between May 2018 and July 2018.

MDC Alliance leadership denied relationship with the people who demonstrated and burnt the capital city on August 1. Chamisa told the Commission that those people who demonstrated were not MDC A members.

However, Masarira told the Commission that she suffered serious abuses and violent clashes with well-known MDC A members on the fateful day at the Rainbow Towers Hotel main gate which houses Harare International Conference Center where ZEC Command Centre was.

She cited one MDC A Ward Councillor who attacked her on the day in question calling her all sorts of derogatory names accusing her for being a sellout.

“MDC party is full of highly intolerant people who think that they are the Alpha and Omega of Zimbabwean politics,” Masarira said.
