Former ZAPU Secretary-General (SG), Strike Mkandla, has accused the party’s Council of Elders of failing to act on his expulsion from the party and has demanded to know why he was expelled.
Addressing a media briefing on Friday, Mkandla said ZAPU should be preparing for the 2023 general elections instead of going after members considered a threat to the party president, Sibangilizwe Nkomo. Mkandla said:
<blockquote>
I have not communicated to anyone what I think about them even about the things they do and the manner in which they do them.
When everyone is trying to think of the 2023 elections, these guys seem to be preoccupied with pointing the gun at their feet.
How do you start attacking your own members before you even say what your strategy is in terms of national procedure barely six months before national elections?
Instead of harnessing all of your forces, they are attacking some people who are there at their disposal. Well, I don’t think I will be at the disposal of anybody now after all this.
</blockquote>
He accused the Council of Elders of dereliction of duty for allegedly failing to inform him about the reasons for his expulsion from the party. Said Mkandla:
<blockquote>
The Council of Elders didn’t say anything for or against me and they didn’t institute anything. This is a dereliction of duty by the Council of Elders leadership.
It’s very serious and it’s unprecedented in ZAPU that people can be charged and expelled and they don’t say anything.
It can be something if they said ‘we will not tell you the reasons but we sat down and we have a dossier somewhere but we are not publicising.’ As far as I know, they probably haven’t got reasons.
</blockquote>
Mkandla was expelled from ZAPU alongside Matthew Sibanda (Matabeleland South Provincial Chairperson), Ernest Ndlovu (provincial secretary), Mildred Mkandla (Secretary for Education and Training), and Akim Nkala (National Executive Council member). | <a href="https://cite.org.zw/expelled-ex-zapu-sg-refuses-to-back-down/">CITE</a>

Expelled ZAPU SG Strike Mkandla Castigates Party's Council of Elders

The former ZAPU Secretary General, Strike Mkandla, is questioning his expulsion from the party, saying he was not given the specific reasons for the move.
He also argued that he was not among senior party members who took the party to court.
Mkandla, Matthew Sibanda, Ernest Ndlovu, Mildred Mkandla, and Akim Nkala were expelled from ZAPU on 12 November 2022 on the grounds that they had chosen a path that would harm the party.
But he maintains that he was fired because of allegations that he was planning to form and launch a new party, reports which he denied.
In a letter dated 17 November 2022, albeit not addressed to anyone, Mkandla said no charges were presented for the expelled to either “accept or challenge” in a disciplinary committee hearing of the Council of Elders.
He also argued that they were expelled from the party without a disciplinary hearing, as required by the party constitution.
However, speaking in an interview with <a href="https://cite.org.zw/former-zapu-sg-challenges-expulsion-from-the-party/">CITE</a>, ZAPU national spokesperson, Msongelwa Ndlovu, said Mkandla’s letter was not addressed to anyone in the party, and therefore does not merit a response. Said Ndlovu:
<blockquote>
I don’t know what Dr Mkandla meant when he said the SG must send it to relevant persons because the SG of ZAPU is not anyone’s postboy.
Dr Mkandla is a former SG, he knows what to do, and he knows how to address letters if he wants to send a letter to ZAPU.
As far as we are concerned there is no ZAPU letter that was written by the former SG. If he is to write a letter we will respond.
We will not use official communication from the party to respond.
</blockquote>
Ndlovu admitted there were no suspension letters because “they were expelled with dishonour.”

Former ZAPU Secretary-General Challenges Expulsion From The Party

Expelled ZAPU senior party members have castigated party president, Sibangilizwe Nkomo, accusing him of exhibiting dictatorial tendencies.
The sacked party members are Strike Mkandla (Secretary-General), Matthew Sibanda (Matabeleland South Provincial Chairperson), Ernest Ndlovu (provincial secretary), Mildred Mkandla (Secretary for Education and Training), and Akim Nkala (National Executive Council member).
They were expelled from ZAPU on Saturday on the grounds that they had “individually and collectively chosen a path designed to harm ZAPU in collaboration with those invested in this objective for many years now.”
Speaking in an interview with <a href="https://cite.org.zw/expelled-zapu-senior-members-accuse-nkomo-of-being-power-hungry/">CITE</a>, Mkandla said that Nkomo specifically targeted them for highlighting that he was not qualified to be party president based on a resolution passed by the National People’s Council (NPC). Said: Mkandla:
<blockquote>
Nkomo is on and on about his powers. That’s very arbitrary and uncalled for. We don’t know anyone who did that, not even Joshua Nkomo or Dumiso Dabengwa had the powers that he is talking about. Even if they are there, they are constitutional, not personal powers.
We have structures in which we exercise those powers and that is through NEC or NPC. Nkomo must wait for congress to get new mandates to change anything but he’s on and on about powers vested in him, to the extent that he can take arbitrary personal decisions.
Decisions are constitutional to make sure there is an absence of arbitrariness, not to heap any powers on anybody whether SG, president, or national chairperson.
These are very fictitious powers, otherwise, the last person to do such things was Mugabe and maybe to some degree Tsvangirai. In ZAPU we never had such arbitrariness.
We always had meetings and Dabengwa spoke to other people. He even presided over meetings of 16 political parties, which were not made public.
What was important about Dabengwa is he actually was a very collective man in his approach.

Expelled ZAPU Senior Members Accuse Nkomo Of Exhibiting Dictatorial Tendencies

The opposition ZAPU has expelled five senior members who took to court the party president, Sibangilizwe Nkomo, for allegedly failing to adhere to the party’s constitution and procedures.
The senior party members challenged Nkomo’s candidature at the Bulawayo High Court ahead of the party’s elective congress last year in October.
They later withdrew the court application after holding talks with Nkomo, but then decided to revive it two months ago.
The senior members were now seeking an order overturning the 2020 congress where Nkomo was elected.
ZAPU spokesperson Msongelwa Ndlovu identified the sacked members as Strike Mkandla , Matthew Sibanda, Ernest Ndlovu, Mildred Mkandla and Akim Nkala. Said Ndlovu:
<blockquote>
It is with regret to announce to ZAPU members, supporters and sympathisers that after 12 months of attempting to unite the party after our congress, the following individuals have expelled themselves from the union.
Messars Strike Mkandla, Matthew Sibanda , Ernest Ndlovu, Mildred Mkandla and Akim Nkala have individually and collectively chosen a path designed to harm ZAPU in collaboration with those invested in this objective for many years now.
ZAPU has noted and accepted their decision and wishes them well in their future endeavors.
We call on our members to treat them with the same treatment reserved for all our political opponents.
</blockquote>
Mkandla is the party’s former secretary -general while Sibanda is the party’s former Matebeleland South Province chairperson, while Mildred is the party‘s former chairperson for the women’s assembly.
Ndlovu pleaded with the general party membership to avoid cooperating with the expelled members for the unity of the party. He said:
<blockquote>
We implore our members to avoid cooperating with them as doing so only helps to advance their objective to divide and eventually destroy the party.
Let us remain vigilant and focused on the ultimate objective of delivering our people from the yokes of ZANU PF intolerance, corruption, and incompetence.
</blockquote>
ZAPU will do whatever it takes to work with like-minded people and organisations to put to an end the curse of ZANU PF on our people.
