Mangoma finally takes Tsvangirai to court

Movement for Democratic Change suspended deputy treasurer-general Elton Mangoma finally filed his court papers against his suspension today. And it looks the battle could be messy. The fight might not only expose party leader Morgan Tsvangirai’s weak leadership but his bedrooms politics as well because he has tended to ” marry” women associated with the Zimbabwe African National Union-Patriotic Front. According to New Zimbabwe.Com, Mangoma says in his founding affidavit that when he handed Tsvangirai his initial letter in January: “It then hit me at that moment that this is a man who all along had lived and believed that he was a good or a messiah of some sort, who walked on water and could not be challenged or questioned.” Mangoma had cited as respondents, the party itself, Tsvangirai, party chairman Lovemore Moyo and secretary-general Tendai Biti though there have been reports that he is in the same camp with Biti.
