adminnot have the blessing of the party and were of no force or effect.
“That Semwayo has never held any rank in the party, Zanu Ndonga. He was just one of Reverend Sithole’s drivers.
“He was sacked after stealing money from one of the party members. After the death of Rev Sithole, he went and worked for the late Professor Masipula Sithole again as a driver.
“Mr Semwayo is trying to trade the party for a position in MDC-T. He is aware that most of Sithole and Zanu Ndonga’s supporters came from Chipinge and is using the name of the party to seek relevance,” he said.
Mr Kumbula said Mr Semwayo is being used by Mr Tsvangirai to try to get the vote of the people of Chipinge by claiming to be representing Zanu Ndonga but that would fail.
“We have no intention of entering into any pact with anyone. That is why we have fielded more than 20 candidates to contest as Members of Parliament and over 40 as councillors.
“You can check with ZEC whether that is true or not. If you look at that list of candidates of the party, Semwayo is nowhere near those who have been registered to represent us. He does not represent the party or anyone. The future of the party is very good.’’
Mr Khumbula, who has contested for the presidency on the party’s ticket and a former legislator, said Zanu Ndonga had no intention of entering into a coalition with any party, saying Zanu Ndonga does not share a similar ideology or vision with any of the four parties planning a coalition
“Yes we had an informal agreement with Mavambo Kusile Dawn before, but we have since moved out. We thought Dr Makoni was serious and would come up with a single candidate until we found out that Makoni had an inclination with the MDC.
“I then told Dr Makoni that we cannot work together anymore and we parted ways.
“We have no intention to partner anyone in the elections. No, not at all, that is why Zanu Ndonga has fielded its own candidates. I am actually contesting in the Chipinge South Constituency,” he said.
Efforts to contact Mr Semwayo were fruitless.
