Dabengwa 'soiled' himself, says Mphoko

Vice President Phelekezela Mphoko has shared his disappointment at the departure of Zapu President Dumiso Dabengwa from Zanu-PF saying the former Zipra intelligence supremo had soiled his otherwise illustrious liberation history.

VP Mphoko addressed Zanu-PF supporters in Pumula and Mpopoma constituencies yesterday as part of the party's campaign launch for the June 10 by-elections in the five vacant seats in Bulawayo.  

He revealed that during the Sipolilo operation at the height of the liberation struggle, he, Dabengwa, Joe Modise of the ANC and other fighters had to drink their own urine as they had run out of water.

He said Dumiso did not join Zipra, he formed it.

"I operated with him in Sipolilo. We drank our own urine in one of the operations when we had travelled for more than 60 kilometres to a place where there was no water."
