'Zimbabwe's two VPs are evil Siamese twins, says Mzila Ndlovu

Newly appointed acting secretary-general of the Welshman Ncube-led MDC, Moses Mzila Ndlovu, has described Zimbabwe's two VPs not just as alleged threats to national security and unity over their controversial recent utterances, but also as "evil Siamese twins".

The war veteran and former National Healing, Reconciliation and Integration minister slated VP Emmerson Mnangagwa over the Zanu-PF strongman's statements at the weekend that he was trained to kill.

"His remarks are a great insult to the victims of Gukurahundi, both dead and living and those that have been traumatised, maimed emotionally, mentally and physically".

He said it was very distressing that Mnangagwa's statement had come on the heels of similar public utterances by VP Phelekezela Mphoko, who appeared to exonerate Mugabe and the government of any culpability relating to Gukurahundi, claiming that the killings were a Western conspiracy.
