Former British Embassy staffer Grace Mtandwa has sensationally claimed in her recently published memoirs that the British encouraged the opposition MDC to split because they needed someone not Morgan Tsvangirai to fight President Mugabe.
The book sharply rebukes Zanu-PF propaganda that Tsvangirai is being used by the British to effect regime change in Zimbabwe.
The book says the British hoped the MDC split would benefit former Zanu-PF member Simba Makoni, whom they preferred and wrongly assumed was very popular.
