Zanu-PF Official Accused Of Lying To Commission Of Inquiry Into August 1 Violence

Zanu PF provincial executive member, Farai Nugget Manyima has been accused of perjury after he told the Kgalema Motlanthe led Commission of Inquiry into the August 1 shootings that he is not a politician. Manyima who lost the Zanu-PF primary elections blamed the opposition MDC Alliance for the deaths of six people who were gunned down after the military used live bullets to quell a protest by opposition supporters. Commenting on the matter Lawyer and Gweru Urban MP Brian Dube (MDC Alliance) said,

He committed perjury and it’s a serious offence. He is a pervert. It is a clear demonstration of dishonesty. Manyima is blaming the MDC Alliance for winning the elections. That is the only crime MDC Alliance committed. MDC Alliance has won the hearts of the masses, but Zanu PF managed to win the shooting of masses by soldiers.
