A COPAC national report published by The Herald on Friday has opened a can of worms, with MDC-T dismissing it while Zanu-PF confirmed its authenticity.

The drafting process of the new constitution has once again come under the spotlight with MDC-T spokesperson, Mr. Douglas Mwonzora saying the COPAC national report published in the media is fake, while Co-chairperson Munyaradzi Paul Mangwana of Zanu-PF says the document is a true reflection of the people's views gathered by COPAC.

"The document you want to call COPAC national report is fake," said Mwonzora.

"The document you have seen in the media today (Friday) is indeed a COPAC national report and it carries the true aspirations and views of the people of Zimbabwe that were gathered by COPAC during the outreach programme," Mangwana said.

Political analyst, Goodson Nguni said it is unfortunate that MDC-T has been caught napping in its fight to smuggle issues of homosexuality and gay rights much to the disappointment of its Western sponsors.

"The MDC-T wanted to smuggle rights for homosexuality so as to please their western masters who everyone is aware they bankroll them," said Nguni.

The constitution making process had hit a snag at the drafting stage amid reports that some individuals within the drafting team are allegedly receiving kick backs from the West in order to subvert the voice of the people, especially on issues to do with homosexuality and gay rights.
