The president of the smaller faction of the MDC Professor Welshman Ncube has threatened that his party will ask the court to imprison President Robert Mugabe and Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai if they continue to defy a court order that ruled Arthur Mutambara should stop acting as the party President.
Ncube said that they got reports that Mugabe, Tsvangirai and Mutambara met on Friday in disregard of a High Court order that Mutambara is no longer president of the party. Ncube said this when he addressed villagers, in Garanyemba 30k outside Gwanda town at the weekend.
“We understand a meeting of principals took place Friday and that Mutambara was invited and it’s clear that if that happened all of them were acting in contempt of court and it is possible for us to apply for the committal to prison for anyone in contempt of court”, said Ncube.
“But we will have to seek advise from our lawyers first”, he added. The Professor who took power under controversial circumstances earlier this year has been refused the position of Deputy Prime Minister despite him being the President of the party.
“You can’t be a Principal unless you are the President of a party, the agreement involves Zanu (PF), MDC T and us and Mutambara has no party,” added Ncube. Ncube said his party will contest elections with or without reforms to avoid conceding too much space to Zanu (PF).
“We will contest Zanu (PF) whether that fora is fair or unfair, we can’t let them go without a fight”, said the Professor. Radio VOP
