Journalist and entrepreneur, Maynard Manyowa who testified before the Motlanthe Commission a few days ago, has been accused of lying. Manyowa covered the August 1 violence in Harare that resulted in the death of 6 people.
Testifying before the commission, Manyowa said that he had been there when one victim, Ishmael Kumene, dropped to the ground after being shot. He said that he saw the victim take two steps before falling. A video published by Manyowa himself in August, however, has been cited to be at odds with his testimony:
