In 1997 Ncube bought 30 square kilometres of land with the intention of developing it as a farm but it was seized under the government's land redistribution programme. The land had not previously been farmed. In 2002 Ncube was one of three MDC MPs to be charged with high treason over an alleged plot to assassinate Robert Mugabe, but like the others was found not guilty.

In 2000 we were given a mandate by the people to remove President Robert Mugabe. We are going back to congress in February, but he is still there. You have an obligation to report that we have failed to remove him. We have to report (even if) we say he stole the elections.

The council resolution to participate still stands and now it's up to the various provinces to make up their minds on whether or not to implement that resolution. I can't say that on their behalf.

I have no knowledge of that.

If we continue thinking about them (anti-Senate faction) we would be wasting our time. Let us finish them between now and February and forget about them. We need to focus on getting into power in the next five years.
