MDC leader Morgan Tsvangirai’s hold on power was further strained at the weekend when a team of MDC-T heavyweights joined hands to form the first rebel MDC-T offshoot in the United Kingdom, ZimEye can reveal.
The group who align themselves with those expelled by Morgan Tsvangirai in March this year, include among others former MDC UK chairman Ephraim Tapa, together with Tendai Biti’s brother, Stanford. Ephraim Tapa is influential among thousands of UK based citizens and albeit amid controversy, has a network of supporters throughout the United Kingdom through the ZimVigil organisation.
A preliminary meeting was convened on Saturday in the UK’s Luton town where the senior executives met.
The meeting was held two hours before a fundraising session of the Luton branch later held at 5PM.
A meeting briefer was expected at the time of writing.
Morgan Tsvangirai was on the 26th March suspended by the National Council convened by Secretary General Tendai Biti and several others who have since been labelled ‘rebels’ by Morgan Tsvangirai’s camp.
ZimEye has in recent years been key to reveal secret party launches which include that of ZANU PF in the UK last year.

UK, USA, CANADA, AFGHANISTAN, LIBYA etc groups who call the renewal team we dont care about them, coz there will be no polling station in those ares but only here in Zimbabwe. 2018 many pple we vote fo MDC-Tsvangirai. the pple’s party. Morgen isimbi.
We dont vote fo someone’s degrees coz we also have degrees but we vote fo someone whom we trust like Morgen. The Biti faction is Mugabe’s project which will also fail like LAND REFORM, INDEGINIZATION, ZIM ASSET, POSA, ESAP etc. Mugabe’s other MDC-N had failed dismally and now they ar trying to combine all the failed projects (MDC-N, and MDC-Biti)which will also fail dismally in 2018. Mari handiyo inovhota but vanhu. If Bennert wants to be ZANU PF project kuti vasamusunga we dont even care about that coz hapana pakambondovhota chikwama chake. He is also free to join them but my mesege is that, he will be the most disapointed man on earth. Tsvangirai forever.
We don’t care about the barking dogs in UK which i can describe as cowards who ar hiding in UK, let them come here vaone kuti their projects will fail even combined with ZAPU the first mutengesi which failed the pple of middlands. matebelleland and Masvingo by joining ZANU Mugabe.
What a Joke
we dontb mind people who don’t vote. Let Biti and his intellectuals continue. As we all know Welsh is more educated than Mbiti Biti but where is he.
Good on the MDC Biti Renewal Team. We will not loose sleep with that, it is their democratic right, and let them what they want.
We never mind abt UK renew team hayivhoti kuzim.hatina kupusa vanhu hapana munhu ari normal angateverera vanhu vanorwara biti namangoma.
I now feel threatened by intelligent Tendai biti, good people please give me advice. My sex life is zero,, marriage zero, cash zero, politics zero, manje pangu pazopera
Hahaha nanana Tapa No.
Emphram is a bitter man after being kicked out of MDCT.Whether he joins Biti or not….it just goes to show the uk team has no mileage
Tapa is crook and the Renewal team would be tainted in the UK if they allow him to spearhead any organisation. Imbavha iyo.
Chegutu Ward 11 By-election
ZANU PF-1103
MDC-T – 45
I think people remember the formation of ZANU in 1964 which was labelled “The Joke Of the Day” by some in ZAPU. Guys never take the support of the people for grunted. MT is his on victim. The gathering yesterday was not a Tapa project, neither was it a Biti project, its a people’s project. People are disgruntled and fed up with MT’s daftness. Look at the trouncing of MDC in Cheguto Ward 11 by-election yesterday. No NIKUV was involved here, surely no. It speaks for itself. If anyone cherishes the hope to get to Canaan under MT’s leadership I say “Tough luck guys”
Renewal ndeyekupenga iyo.ndeyeZanu pf!
I hve never seen the so called `UK` voting in Zim. Keep on dreaming Mr Tapa nd followers..

Nxa Zim eye why are you reducing yourself to little children? What business does a Lion have in sniffing the aanus of a she goat.
Tapa is an angry man since his demotion. Zvino airasa zvachose for the few who used to follow him blindly now know his true colours.He is finished just like Biti. Mark my words

This is what i call trash/gutter reporting this is not breaking news a few individuals meeting and hey its a threat to Tsvangirai?? There is no threat at all Mr Editor here in the UK free speech and association is entertained you write as if you are one of them
I think the reporter is bias to this renewal nonsese , come election we will not hear Biti anymore till dearth
zimeye is an anti mdc-t newspaper, hamuna dhiri
The reporter is in the MDC Renewal Team . How’s is this a threat to Tsvangirai and its mischievious to say Tsvangirai was suspended like that ever held water to begin . Its wishful thinking , however everyone is entitled to their opinion . Word of advise Mr Reporter this isn’t breaking news but an opinion piece by You, tied to some event of ppl who launched their own party though mostly former MDC T members !!!
PEOPLE HERE IN YHE UK THERES NO RENEWAL TEAM. TO RENEW WHAT.THOSE GUYS SRE THIEVES,IF HIS BROTHER BITI IS A SELL OUT IN ZIM,US IN UK WE DONT FOLLOW THAT AND TAPA FORGET MAN UOU HAVE DONE ENOUGH. BE WARNED
MDC T UK
This is jus the beggining of things. Lyk l said, want 2 c if all u MT supporters if u still behind him without cash. Roy Bennet is out nd he z the one who financed mdc 90%. Maybe u going 2 contribute 1us per suppoter, of wch tht is a non starter, all knw tht.
Biti is bent on destroying the opposition on a Zanu (PF) agenda. If the UK Zimbas are gullible enough to follow Biti, they’ll be taken for a ride. All right thinking people with enough common sense know better not to follow Biti’s sell out agenda. Biti, Welshman Ncube Dumiso Dabengwa and Madhuku -same fana, Soko or Mukanya- Makudo ndomamwe anopana mahobi
Mr reporter, I really do not see any breaking news here. The fact that a few prople in the UK have gathered under the so called renewal team ybanner is no breaking news at all. Tiitireiwo ma serious pse.
The reporter is misleading people about Tapa followers. People were following him because they liked the mdc t party. It does not mean that people will just blindly follow Tapa if they don’t see the reasons behind the new party. People are good in critical thinking and know what they want
