Jonathan Moyo, like Kasukuwere, should be allowed back into Zimbabwe

THE Mthwakazi Republic Party (MRP) and Zapu have accused President Emmerson Mnangagwa's government of tribalism for allowing the return of Saviour Kasukuwere into the country while intensifying efforts to extradite Professor Jonathan Moyo, NewZimbabwe.com reported.

Kasukuwere, Professor Moyo and Patrick Zhuwao fled the country following the military coup in November last year after being accused of being "criminals" surrounding ousted President Robert Mugabe.

Kasukuwere, however, returned home last week without being arrested after spending six months and six days in exile. Ahead off that the government revealed that it had engaged the International Police network to help track down Professor Moyo.

"When the military under the orders of Mnangagwa targeted Moyo and Kasukuwere, they claimed that they were targeting criminals. Now what has happened to one of the "criminals" Kasukuwere?  He returned to the country without any incident and yet the government has intensified its efforts to extradite Moyo just because he is from Matebeleland," claimed Mqondisi Moyo, the leader MRP, in an interview with New Zimbabwe.

Moyo also claimed that Kasukuwere was planted by Mnangagwa to go and spy on Moyo when the trio left the country after the coup.

Moyo said the government's renewed zeal to extradite Professor Moyo is because Kasukuwere had provided the police with his exact hide out outside Zimbabwe.

Zapu spokesperson, Iphithule Maphosa also concurred with Moyo.
