MDC Chides ED For 'Misleading' Diplomats

The opposition MDC said President Emmerson Mnangagwa misled diplomats accredited to Zimbabwe when he told them during a luncheon last week that recommendations of the Motlanthe Commission were already being implemented.

In an interview with NewsDay on Monday, MDC deputy national spokesperson, Luke Tamborinyoka said:

The report found the police and the military to have been responsible for the murders that took place on August 1, 2018. We have not seen heads rolling in either the police or the military.

The MDC wants to see those responsible for the shootings which left six dead and 22 injured, some who still have bullets logged in their bodies, arrested and jailed for the acts.

Soldiers from the elite Presidential Guard and anti-riot police used live ammunition to quell post-election protests which rocked central Harare on August 1, 2018.

A commission of inquiry led by former South African president Kgalema Motlanthe found security forces guilty of the killings and recommended that the killers should be punished.
