Murisi Zwizwai Reveals The Mandate Of MDC-T's “Vanguard” Group

During an interview on Capitalk FM on Monday evening, MDC-T  elections secretary Murisi Zwizwai revealed what the party’s youth militia group called the Vanguard is about.

Speaking on Ruvheneko’s show, Zwizwai said MDC-T leader Nelson Chamisa is against the vanguard which was a response to Zanu-PF’s Green Bombers. Zwizwai was responding to a question from a caller who wanted to know what the vanguard is about. Said Zwizwai:

Vanguard is a small thing within the establishment and President Chamisa said he does not want anything called the Vanguard in the party. It’s an ideological issue which we had in the party. The late President Morgan Tsvangirai also did not approve of the vanguard in the party. It was established in response to Zanu-PF’s the Green Bombers. Vanguard is something that is not approved by Chamisa and was condemned by the late Tsvangirai.

When asked by Ruvheneko if MDC-T had successfully managed to stifle the vanguard, Zwizwai said “there is no vanguard”.
