MDC Alliance Bulawayo provincial women’s assembly chairlady Tendai Masotsha who is involved in a leaked audio recording circulating on social media has resigned following faked abductions and plans to burn down Government buildings.

In her resignation letterTendai Masotsha said “The recent events around my person and my political life have placed my life and that of my family at great risk to the extent that after consultation with my family and have decided to take a sabbatical from active politics until such time that the dangers and my family face can be contained,” reads the statement.

“It has been increasingly clear to me that my case has become a distraction to the real challenges that my party the MDC Alliance ,have to confront in its political struggles against ZANU (PF) on behalf of the long suffering people of Zimbabwe It is critically important that I immediately stand aside from active politics so as to allow the party to focus on its core business of opposing ZANU (PF) and mobilizing the people against a system that has caused them immeasurable suffering,”

“In the circumstances of today I am taking an indefinite sabbatical from my position as chairperson of the MDC Alliance Bulawayo Province’s women’s Assembly,”

In a leaked audio recording of a top MDC-Alliance official reveals stunning details of how the opposition party planned a wave of terror that involved burning Government buildings and faking abductions to cover up the subversive plots.

The audio recording, whose voice is attributed to that of MDC-A Bulawayo province women’s assembly chairperson, Tendai Masotsha, is heard incriminating the MDC-A in fake abductions as well as other terrorist acts.

Several MDC-A officials confirmed the authenticity of the audio attributed to Masotsha. In the audio, Masotsha is heard saying that political activist Tawanda Muchehiwa confided in her of a plan to bomb Government buildings prior to the alleged abduction.

“I, Tendai Masotsha, would like to say unless they want the whole family to be in a soup if they corner me, I will reveal everything that Tawanda wanted to do on that fateful day.
“Tawanda told me that he had 20 people who were waiting for the instruction to burn Government buildings. Tawanda received money to buy explosives to burn down those buildings.

“Amongst those 20 people, I did not see them (the 20 people), he was telling me that they were ready and he was pushing me to find a safe house and convince the Chief to buy them food while they were carrying out their activities,” she said.

In his response on Twitter to the allegations levelled against him in the audio, Tawanda Muchehiwa said “Tendai Masotsha sounds exactly like my abductors when they were torturing me. That she claims I told her of these plots further suggests she was the source of that fake intel. That conversation never happened. The only sit-down was in a car with Dr William Gwazemba.”
