CONFUSION, CONFUSION EVERYHWEYA, as Nigeria’s Fela Kuti would sing!! One headline read: Chamisa bags 2014 structures! Yet another read: New twist to MDC’s wars! Why all this Quonifuzhoni in the media?? Simply because stories express sympathies, not news developments!! THE REAL

NEWS is that Chamisa’s faction has now submitted itself to the Supreme Court Judgment it had derisively dismissed as immaterial to its functioning as a political faction! THE REAL NEWS, TOO, is that presently, Chamisa is a no-where-man in leadership terms, itself the effect of

...compliance with the Supreme Court Judgment!! THE OTHER REAL NEWS, THREE, is that members who met yesterday, and met by virtue of being in 2014 structures, place themselves in an invidious situation where they now have to submit to direction and directives of/from Komichi and

Mwonzora, themselves lawful officer-holders of 2014 structures. These two will have to determine if yesterday’s meeting was lawfully constituted or an act of rebellion, the latter attracting appropriate sanction. And of course recognizing 2014 interim leadership means

...withdrawing their recognition of Chamisa as leader of their faction. It also means voiding the so-called Gweru Congress and all its attendant resolutions and the executive it purported to create. Far from being a SHOW OF NUMBERS, yesterday’s meeting has turned out to be a SHOW

OF WEAK STRATEGY AND A SHOW OF A LEADERLESS FACTION surviving in the twilight of punishable rebelllion!! Of course the bald strategy by my good friend Timba was to get Khupe to call for a 2014 leadership meeting at which Chamisa’s group would pass a no-confidence vote on Khupe

...and company, thus creating - so they hoped - a new situation in MDC-T which would render the Supreme Court Judgment moot and inoperable. THE NEW DEVELOPMENT, FOUR, is that of rendering the awaited next Friday ruling on powers of recall foregone in that there appears to be an

...unexpected convergence across factions that the Supreme Court Judgment obtains, in which case that implicitly resolves what in effect becomes a “by-question” in respect of who recalls!!! Surely if there is no longer any contest on Supreme Court Judgement, it also means the

..2014 leadership becomes extant!!! Huuuu, hu!!! #myzimbabwe
