Mphoko defends Dickson Mafios

Addressing people at the Bulawayo provincial fundraising dinner, Vice President Phelekezela Mphoko came to Mashonaland Central Province acting chairperson, Dickson Mafio‘s defence and said that those who think it’s a departure from the endorsement of President Robert Mugabe are a misguided.

He explained that while Mugabe can be trusted to appoint the right deputies, there is no guarantee that the same trust could be vested in any other party leader, hence the need to look beyond President Mugabe by looking at some constitutional issues which could be abused to compromise the party in future. He  further said that all those who are criticising Mafios understand the constitutional implications but are trying to misrepresent it to serve their selfish motives concerning party issues.
