1/8 Someone just asked me why @matigary is now anti-opposition (read MDC-A) & @nelsonchamisa. It looks like many on these streets don& #39;t know how it started. Hence assumption he was "bought". Here& #39;s what happened for those here who profess ignorance:
2/8 When @nelsonchamisa took over @MDCAllianceZW leadership, just before the funeral of Morgan Tsvangirai, @matigary immediately called the move unconstitutional & objected. A tonne of bricks was heaped on him by NC& #39;s supporters immediately & Mati coined the term "Nerrorists"..
3/8...for NC& #39;s supporters coz of the way they terrorised anyone who questioned the unconstitutional way in which NC took over leadership of the Alliance & MDC-T. Mati stubbornly stuck to his position amidst the insults &
4/8...there was even a coordinated "exposé" of the guy said to be behind the @matigary handle by @PacheduZW. After this expose, we noticed Mati became an even more obstinate advocate of the ruling party & the bane of western sanctions on Zimbabwe.
5/8 Through the 2018 elections, he was against MDC-A & NC mostly because of the unconstitutional manner of the Alliance leader& #39;s ascent to power in the opposition (and also what he called the "sanctions-begging". The insults heaped on him, I believe, pushed him to other extreme.
6/8 @matigary even called for a law to try anyone who called for sanctions against Zimbabwe for treason. This incensed NC& #39;s supporters even further because it was directed at NC, Biti etc.
7/8 Like other people on these streets, I believe he was pushed into being the Matigary we know today by those who thought they could insult him into changing his mind. From that time, he implacably anti-Chamisa & Alliance. Thought I& #39;d share!
