Former MDC legislator Albert Mhlanga has strongly denied accusations of being a sellout following his defection to the ruling Zanu PF party. Mhlanga, who previously represented Pumula, dismissed the criticism from his former opposition allies as a meaningless refrain from failed politicians. He described Zanu PF as a structured people's party and a game changer, not controlled by any single person.
He asserted that removing Zanu PF from power was an impossible dream, comparing it to moving Mount Kilimanjaro with basic tools. Mhlanga also denied that his move was financially motivated, stating that political parties lack funds and that wealthy individuals within the party could not lure him. He and fellow defector Dingilizwe Tshuma had been politically isolated after failing to secure CCC nominations in the last elections.
