National spokesperson for the Nelson Chamisa led MDC Alliance, Jacob Mafume, says his party has not been invited to give oral evidence before the Kgalema Motlanthe led Commission of Inquiry into the August 1 post-election disturbances in which six people were killed by the army.
"We have not seen the invite if it was made.
"The invitees should be the Zimbabwe National Army soldiers who shot and the commanders who ordered the killings," Mafume said sarcastically, in an interview with NewZimbabwe.com Wednesday.
The Kgalema Motlanthe led Commission opened the probe on Tuesday with witnesses presenting what they saw during the fateful day.
"We are not in control of the state…," Mafume said, adding, "The Commission is a joke or a farce trying to find justification for killing citizens."
Meanwhile, the Thokozani Khupe led MDC has confirmed it was invited to give evidence before the Kgalema Motlanthe led Commission.
