Farai Dziva|Youthful MDC A leader Nelson Chamisa has urged party members to desist from name calling as tension intensifies ahead of the party’ s Congress.

Chamisa told journalists in Harare yesterday soon after holding a Standing Committee meeting, MDC members should desist from name calling.

Chamisa warned disciplinary action would be be taken against defiant members.

Chamisa also said the Standing Committee had agreed that the party will have one spokesperson ahead of the party’s congress.

“Leaders may always say certain statements but we are a party with protocol, rules and regulations. We have had a meeting since morning, we discussed our issue, you will see, read my lips, look at my face, you will not see any such things going forward.

If there are any such things where people are name calling, they would have crossed the line and there will be gnashing of teeth and they know it. All the leaders are here so it is not a threat but it is just a promise of what will happen if there is any crossing of the line,” said Chamisa.
