'Was blocked entery into HH after reporting what the voters said. I'm being victimised for telling the truth. I wanted to raise a vote of no confidence motion on Mwonzora in the National Council. Since the formation of MDC, it has never failed dismally in elections'

3] #Mhetu

'a President is the party CEO. Our failure to not even get a single seat was caused by Mwonzora's failure to create good strategies, friendly to the electorate. I can clearly state that Mwonzora is dining with ZanuPF. He doesn't do anything that grows the party.'

4] #Mhetu:

'When Mwonzora takes to the podium, all he does is attack Chamisa. I've never heard him attacking ZanuPF. Mwonzora is clearly an appendage of ZanuPF. Since receiving gov grants, Mwonzora has never funded crucial departments of the party, like security department'

5] #Mhetu

'It's the duty of security department to make assessments & advice the party whether to participate in an election. I felt humiliated for failing dismally in Epworth. Had Mwonzora funded the security dep, it may have advised us to boycott the elections.'

6] #Mhetu:

'Mwonzora is so incompetent. @OurMDCT didn't do primary elections as per our constitution. Mwonzora pinpointed preferred candidates & created disharmony in the party. Because Mwonzora is an appendage of ZanuPF, he is victimising me for trying to resuscitate the party'

7] #Mhetu:

'Mwonzora pinpointed me to run in Epworth & I refused. He then called me to his lawfirm & promised US $10 k to all candidates which wasn't sufficient as I needed US $50k. He convinced me to accept his idea & I submitted my nomination lackadaisically.

8] #Mhetu

'When campaigns started, Mwonzora only gave me RTGS $100k not even enough to service my car. I plunged US $50k. Had I participated as an independent candidate, I would have performed better or even won. People of Epworth were saying your party is ZanuPF's appendage.'

9] #Mhetu

'People of Epworth were saying, we know you're development oriented, but if we elect you, all credit will go to Mwonzor & we don't want to be humiliated by the rest of peace loving Zimbabweans for electing Mwonzora. They said remove Mwonzora's tag & we'll vote for you'

10] #Mhetu:

'I had prepared a vote of no confidence on Mwonzora & had mobilised members to support it in the National Council. Members were stating fear of victimisation. I don't have aspirations to be @OurMDCT President. My drive it so build be party & bring back its glory'

11] #Mhetu:

'I want to admit @CCCZimbabwe is the biggest Opp political party in Zimbabwe & whatever it does, doesn't make people doubt they're a real Opp. Since my emotions & tempers are high, I won't comment on my next move. When I'm calm, I'll plan & strategize my next move'

12] #Mhetu:

'If @OurMDCT doesn't remove @DMwonzora, then thats the end of the party. Was pained saying Vincent Tsvangirai stopping me from entering HH. He doesn't know his late father's party is now a carcass. My ideas were to resuscitate the party, unfortunately they are blind'

13] #Mhetu

'@DMwonzora is not qualified even to lead a family. He cant even lead his personal life. How can we think his family is even safe. He doesn't even have a car, but borrows from people. He was given a car for being Opposition Leader in Parly, and for being a Senator.'

14] #Mhetu

'Mwonzora was given cars by the gov, sold them & splashed the money with girlfriends. Would you trust such a person to be your leader? If Mwonzora continues as the helm of @OurMDCT, we are going nowhere. I'm challenging him formally & constitutionally.'

15] #Mhetu

'I didn't want to stage a coup. I wanted to use the National Council, the highest decision making body in our party @OurMDCT outside Congress, to ask @DMwonzora to step down, failure of which, I was going to move a motion of no confidence in him'
