Tshabangu
appeared
before
the
party’s
National
Disciplinary
Committee
on
February
12,
2025,
where
he
was
charged
with
four
counts
of
misconduct
relating
to
his
actions
between
November
and
December
2024.
According
to
a
statement
from
CCC
spokesperson
Willias
Madzimure
issued
on
Wednesday,
19
February,
the
charges
stemmed
from
Tshabangu’s
decision
to
unilaterally
alter
the
party’s
Parliamentary
Portfolio
without
the
approval
of
the
President
or
any
other
authorized
organ
of
the
party.
In
addition,
Tshabangu
was
accused
of
making
derogatory
public
remarks
about
acting
president
Welshman
Ncube
after
he
had
already
been
suspended
from
the
party.
Madzimure
said
Tshabangu’s
actions
violated
Clause
9.1.2.3
of
the
CCC
Constitution,
which
outlines
the
party’s
rules
and
regulations.
He
further
condemned
Tshabangu’s
behaviour,
stating
that
it
had
damaged
the
party’s
reputation
and
shown
a
“brazen
defiance”
of
the
authority
of
Ncube,
as
well
as
other
key
party
organs,
including
the
National
Standing
Committee,
National
Executive
Committee,
and
National
Council.
Tshabangu,
who
was
represented
by
party
legislator
and
lawyer
Kucaca
Phulu
during
the
hearing,
was
found
guilty
on
all
four
charges.
Said
Madzimure:
Having
found
Sengezo
Tshabangu
guilty
of
all
the
charges,
and
having
regard
to
the
gravity
of
the
acts
of
misconduct
of
which
the
Committee
convicted
him,
the
Committee
decided
to
sentence
him
to
expulsion
from
the
party
with
immediate
effect.
