MDC Alliance leader Nelson Chamisa yesterday obtained a provisional High Court order halting the disbursement of $7.5 million under the Political Parties Finance Act to the Thokozani Khupe -led MDC-T as assets became the latest battleground in the fractured opposition. Government was due to release the money given to political parties with more than five seats in Parliament to the MDC Alliance at a time the opposition party had been thrown into disarray by a Supreme Court ruling declaring Chamisa an illegitimate leader. The ruling made last month, also declared Khupe the acting president of the opposition party until an extra congress to be held in three months. This is despite Chamisa and Khupe participating in the last general elections under different political groupings. Armed
Yesterday, social media was awash with pictures of the supposed renovations that have taken place at the country’s major soccer facility, National Sports Stadium.

The opposition MDC Alliance on Thursday said it foiled an attempted take-over of its Harare headquarters hours after it announced a boycott of parliamentary proceedings to protest against the dismissal of four of its legislators at the behest of a faction opposed to the party leadership. On March 31, the country’s Supreme Court declared that Nelson Chamisa’s leadership of the Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) Alliance was illegitimate and ordered the party to hold an election to elect new leadership within three months. A majority of MDC-A leaders have rallied behind Chamisa, arguing that the leadership issue was settled when the party held a congress in 2019 to choose a new executive. But a faction opposed to Chamisa has been emboldened by the court ruling and this

Douglas Mwonzora speaks on why he recalled the MDC Alliance MPs. On Tuesday, the Speaker of Parliament, Jacob Mudenda made a shock announcement that MPs Chalton Hwende, Prosper Mutseyami, Thabitha Khumalo, and Lilian Timveous were no longer sitting legislators as the party had recalled them following a request from Mwonzora.

However, Mwonzora in an interview with NewZimbabwe as adamant the recall was justified and also a formality as the affected MPs had already expelled themselves from the part

There was also an outcry from businesses which have been ordered to get their employees tested for coronavirus before they can resume operations. After get
