The charismatic and eloquent party spokesperson Chamisa is a product of the Assembly. Its officials that I will be running for the post of chairman. However, I am not aware whether I will be contesting with Vice Chairman Chibaya, said Madzore.

We are going to find a soft landing for chairman Mahlangu. We are not going to let our char go to a lower level but we will ensure that he gets a more influential position, said Madzore.
