Over 20 bonafide members of the Crisis in Zimbabwe Coalition have stormed the organizations head office in Harare demanding the immediate departure of Mcdonald Lewanika from leading the civil society movement.
 
A month after he was ousted from the organisation, the man is said to be still “ruling” the organisation.

ZimEye.com arrived at number 329 Samora Machel and witnessed the group trying to gain entry.
Holding placards some of them inscribed “Time up for Mcdonald”, Mcdonald Zimbavha” and Mcdonald Chienda”, the protesters said they were expressing their disgruntlement over Lewanika’s mal-administration.
Leader of the demonstrators George Makoni from Centre for Community Development in Zimbabwe Crisis in Zimbabwe Coalition affiliate said they are disturbed by the continued existence of Lewanika at the organization.
“He was supposed to have left the organization on 31 December last year but up to now he continues to be here,” said Makoni.
“He is abusing the resources of the organization without the approval of the board which did not renew his contract and that is our major concern.
“We want to lead by example. He is tarnishing the image of the civil society which is at the front condemning corruption and bad governance by doing the same things we accuse government of doing.
Problems in the Crisis in Zimbabwe Coalition began last October when the organization was audited by external auditors who revealed massive corruption and misappropriation of donor funds.
The scandals left the board of directors divided resulting in their failure to renew Lewanika’s contract which expired in December of that year.
Owing to mounting pressure Lewanika last month wrote a resignation letter to the “board” informing them that he was “soon” going to leave the organization.
Both acting Crisis in Zimbabwe Coalition board chairperson Samukeliso Khumalo and her spokesperson Mfundo Mlilo could not be reached for comment as they were said to attending a business meeting in South Africa.
