MDC Alliance Criticises Mnangagwa's Biased Post-Poll Violence Probe Team

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.
