MDC youth leader fired?

Movement for Democratic Change youth leader Solomon Madzore and secretary general Promise Mkwananzi were fired today according a report by NewZimbabwe.Com. The report said Youth Assembly spokesman Clifford Hlatshwayo confirmed that the assembly had held a meeting but refused to talk about the expulsion of Madzore saying they had to brief the party leadership first. Madzore dismissed expulsion saying: “I have heard that some group of individuals met today but we will not lose sleep because Zimbabweans are free to meet. What I can tell you is it was not the MDC-T youth assembly that met. I will not comment on mickey-mouse issues that was not the MDC-T youth national council because we have not convened such a meeting.” Reports on Saturday said the MDC had also expelled Chitungwiza chairman Alexio Musundire in what appears to be a purge on officials linked to the faction demanding leadership renewal. The purges contradict what party leader Morgan Tsvangirai said on Tuesday that the party leadership had resolved its internal squabbles.
