Political analyst Pedzisai Ruhanya has said the character of the current Acting mayor of Harare Chris Mbanga who was appointed after the suspension of Bernard Manyenyeni reflects badly of the leadership qualities of MDC-T leader Morgan Tsvangirai.

Ruhanya said this is because sometime when when then Minister of Local government Ignatius Chombo fired Elias Mudzuri as mayor of Harare another acting mayor Sekesai Makwavarara who later defected to Zanu PF took over and he wondered how such characters found their way into t6he leadership of the opposition party.

"In Chris Mbanga, the MDC-T's acting Harare Mayor; the party has a potential version of Sekesai Makwavarara who defected to Zanu PF when Chombo fired engineer Elias Mudzuri," Ruhanya said. "How such elements find themselves in the top echelons of power in the MDC reflects badly on the leadership credentials of Morgan Tsavngirai. Having incorrigibly/inveterate corrupt and compromised councillors in Harare and Bulawayo arguably shows that the MDC-T is not an alternative to Zanu PF but a version, a clone of the regime."

He said using legitimacy through performance what is the MDC-T claim to lead Zimbabwe at this rotten rate?

"Shocked that MDC-T have no clue of who these chaps are including Mbanga?" he said.
