By Shyleen Mtandwa | MDC-T leader Morgan Tsvangirai has fired Harare Deputy Mayor Chris Mbanga for insubordination and double dealing.

Mbanga, was on Monday relieved of his duties as deputy Mayor after being found guilty of supporting Local government minister, Saviour Kasukuwere’s decision last year of barring James Mushore from assuming the duties of the Town Clerk. A senior MDC-T official who attended the meeting which fired Mbanga told ZimEye.com that the former deputy Mayor remains an MDC-T councilor.

“He will remain a councilor. MDC forced him to resign from deputy Mayor or risk being recalled from council,”he said.
