Chamisa's MDC Probably Behind Recent Fires- Political Analyst

Harare-based political commentator Mr Tafadzwa Mugwadi told The Herald that the recent outbreak of fires in several cities should be investigated.

He insinuated that the Nelson Chamisa led MDC could be behind the fires. He said that Government should investigate the fires in the same context as the August 1 violence. Said Mugwadi:

That the MDCs have been training elements on acts of sabotage and banditry in some neighboring countries and overseas is no longer a matter of speculation but one that needs serious investigation. These fires should be looked in the same context with August 1 events and those behind such acts would always want the public to think they are spontaneous tragedies yet they are well-planned. If one looks at the businesses that have been affected, there is little doubt that this was well rehearsed and strategically planned since most of the indigenous operators in these sites such as SiyaSo and GlenView Area 8 are allegedly pro government given that they are beneficiaries of the indigenisation and economic empowerment initiatives.
