Speaking to NewZimbabwe.com, MDC Alliance criticised President Mnangagwa’s seven member Commission which is chaired by former South African President Kgalema Motlanthe. The commission is set to inquire into post-election violence that led to the death of 6 civilians on August 1.
MDC Alliance said the commission lacks objectivity as it consists of Mnangagwa supporters and a presidential candidate Lovemore Madhuku. The coalition argues the commission is a witch hunt against perceived political threats and any credible opposition to Mnangagwa’s illegitimacy. Said MDC Alliance:
Charity Manyeruke is a well know Zanu PF cheerleader. The evidence is all over the public domain. Lovemore Madhuku is an interested party as he was a presidential candidate and has already made comments detrimental to the MDC Alliance. He is not a neutral by-stander. Vimbai Nyemba is a Mnangagwa favourite. She has already been appointed as chairperson of the Procurement Regulatory Authority and is also a member of another Commission of Inquiry into the sale of State land. Is there shortage of suitable persons that one person has to hog multiple positions.
