Independent legislator for Norton, Temba Mliswa has denied that he has rejoined that ruling Zanu-PF party. 

The rumour that I applied to rejoin ZANU PF, and the view that I am back in Zanu PF are both false. Nothing could be further from the truth.

I am still an independent mind, and in my independence, I remain true to serving the people of Norton in this capacity

I am not part of ZANU PF- and I also am not in the opposition. I am simply a Progressive Zimbabwean. I have marched with the MDC-T on the missing 15 billion and on anti-corruption. This I did because of the substance around these issues. These marches were for the good of Zimbabwe.

I have even attended MDC-T rallies and Conferences as I have always enjoyed the freedom to associate with whoever I want to associate with. This is the one liberty I am not yet ready to trade.

By everyone, I include also some comrades within ZANU PF. I also attended the ZANU PF congress in the same capacity with which I attended the MDC-T Conference!!!! As an invited Local Guest.

The decision whether or not to join any political party is not on the table, at least until I finish my term in Norton.

The foundation of Political intolerance is that behaviour of labelling people who do not share your political persuasion.  Political alternatives are more than just ZANU-PF and MDC-T.

I’m a progressive Zimbabwean. Opposition vs ruling means both entities have drawn lines and can never be inclusive of all Zimbabweans. I do not draw any lines, I have not yet drawn any lines and I do not intend to.
