Exiled former cabinet minister Walter Mzembi has labeled Matabeleland North Province Senator Sengezo Tshabangu a sellout.
In a statement, Mzembi compared Tshabangu to one of the most notorious sellouts of the 20th century, Moise Kapenda Tshombe, noting that sellouts are very brave people who suffer no shame.
Newsreportzim.com has extracted the following from Walter Mzembi’s X account:
“Hon Senator Tshabangu now styles himself as the Leader of the Opposition.
Reality is he is Leader of the Opposition to the Opposition and aspirations of the generality of the people.”
“He reminds many of one of the worst Sellouts of the 20th Century , Moise Kapenda Tshombe. Sellouts are very brave people and suffer no shame .”
A few weeks ago Tshabangu was announced leader of the opposition in parliament by Hon Advocate Jacob Mudenda.
Tshabangu will be the one who receives the party funds.
According to reports, Justice and Parliamentary Affairs minister Ziyambi Ziyambi said government would disburse the funds to Tshabangu soon.
