MDC-T suspends Abednico Bhebhe for saying Tsvangirai sent thugs to beat Khupe

MDC-T has suspended its national organising secretary, Abednico Bhebhe after a probe team’s findings on recent disturbances in Bulawayo that he said Morgan Tsvangirai sent thugs to beat him, Vice President Thokozani Khupe and Lovemore Moyo.

In a statement, the MDC-T said Bhebhe’s matter “has been duly referred to the national council for disciplinary action to commence in line with the party constitution.” The recommendation was made following the MDC Extra-ordinary National Executive meeting held today in Harare.

Deputy national publicity secretary, Thabitha Khumalo’s suspension has been lifted while all the youths who were involved, including deputy national youth Chairperson Shakespeare Mukoyi remain suspended and will appear before the party’s Disciplinary Committee.
