MDC president Nelson Chamisa and vice chairperson Tendai Biti are highly likely to be subpoenaed next week when the Motlanthe Commission resumes its inquiry into the August 1 shooting of civilians in Harare’s CBD. Secretary to the Commission Virginia Mabiza said the Commission will subpoena all people fingered as having incited violence, both in pre- and post-election times. Mabiza had this to say
The commission will be subpoenaing all those who were implicated in inciting violence, pre- and post-election. The law empowers the commission to use legal instruments to bring these people before it so that they can answer to the allegations made against them.
A Newsday report claims that Chamisa, MDC deputy chairperson Biti and Jim Kunaka, Zanu PF’s Terrence Mukupe, Chiwenga and former Masvingo Provincial Affairs minister Josaya Hungwe have all been accused of inciting violence ahead of the polls.
