Opposition Citizens' Coalition for Change (CCC) leader, Nelson Chamisa, has written to Parliament to thwart attempts by Sengezo Tshabangu masquerading as the political formation's secretary general from recalling National Assembly and Senate representatives.
Tshabangu, who purports to be CCC interim secretary general , last week made headlines after he wrote a petition to Speaker of Parliament, Jacob Mudenda, seeking to recall 15 named MPs elected in August alleging they had ceased to be members of the party, and should therefore be expelled from the august House.
"I have had sight of a letter dated 3 October 2023 circulating on social media and reported in news media addressed to the Speaker of Parliament from one Sengezo Tshabangu purporting to be the interim SG of CCC and purporting to recall several members of our political party from the Parliament. In the referenced letter, Chamisa said all correspondences concerning his listed party's 103 MPs and 27 senators should be directed to his office."Sengezo Tshabangu is not a member of CCC and as such cannot provide, avail, or adduce evidence of any such membership as his name does not appear on any of CCC street or village registers of any district, in any province, as administered by the CCC Bureau of Organising.
The Speaker has acknowledged receipt of Tshabangu's letter and wrote to ZEC informing of 15 vacancies.
