MDC President Douglas Mwonzora Trolled Over His SADC Summit Pictures

Social media users are trolling Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) President Douglas Mwonzora over his SADC Summit pictures.

Mwonzora was a guest at the 44th Ordinary SADC Summit of Heads of State and Government, which was held on 17 August 2024 in Harare at the New Parliament Building in Mt Hampden. The regional event ran under the theme, “Promoting Innovation to unlock opportunities for sustained economic growth and development towards an Industrialised SADC”.

At the Summit, President Emmerson Mnangagwa assumed chairmanship of the Southern Africa Development Community, taking the torch from Zambian President Hakainde Hichilema.

Despite Hichilema’s glaring absence, Zimbabwe’s opposition politicians attended the summit in full force. Self-proclaimed secretary-general of the Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC), the new external darling of the Government, graced the event.

Mwonzora attended the summit with Tapiwa Mashakada, his party’s shadow minister of Finance, and Albert Chidhakwa, the chairperson of the National Youth Assembly.

When the Summit was over, and the SADC President had left the venue, Mwonzora and his executives went to the front. They sat on the Presidents’ chairs and gleefully sat before posing for pictures. Their broad and genuine grins showed their joy.

Mwonzora beamed:

“Today, with my delegation, I attended the opening ceremony of the 44th SADC Ordinary Summit. We continue to push for free and fair elections, respect for the constitution, respect for human rights, inclusive development, and opposition to Third Termism.”
