Zimbabwe’s Opposition Chief Defends Recall of Lawmakers
In Zimbabwe, the man blamed for contributing to the dismantling of the country’s main opposition Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) says he was only an instrument by party members to achieve certain objectives. Sengezo Tshabangu, by claiming to be the CCC’s interim secretary general, was able to get the backing of the courts to recall CCC members from parliament and prohibit them from contesting their seats again in recent by-elections. Tshabangu tells VOA’s James Butty he had the authority to recall the members because the CCC had deviated from the reasons for which it was founded.
