Gokwe-Nembudziya and ZANU PF legislator Justice Mayor Wadyajena has said MDC Alliance leader Nelson Chamisa’s political career will not thrive because of the people he associates with.
The ZANU PF politburo member claims that Chamisa is surrounded by a group of violent people, the Vanguard who are misleading him. He said:
MDC @nelsonchamisa Vanguard are uncouth & needlessly yobbish. This is them out of office, God knows what they would do with just a taste of power. With these cheering thugs, Chamisa will never elevate to a respected opposition leader but be a boss to a clueless mob misleading him.
These remarks come after the Vanguard was in 2018 accused of trying to burn alive the MDC-T interim leader, Thokozani Khupe when she was attending the funeral of MDC founding leader, Morgan Tsvangirai in Buhera at Chamisa’s instigation.
His supporters, however, deny the allegations saying Chamisa and the MDC are peaceful adding that it’s rather the ruling ZANU PF which is violent.
Wadyajena speaks when the opposition is accusing the government of kidnapping and torturing its critics who have registered concern over alleged corruption and economic mismanagement.
Chamisa claims that he was robbed of victory in the 2018 election after ZEC connived with the ruling ZANU PF to manipulate results in favour of ZANU PF candidate Emmerson Mnangagwa
