Former Vice President Mphoko's daughter Siduduzo has alleged that her mother Laurinda Mphoko is living in perpetual harassment from who veterans who are in a mission to deal with former Vice President Mphoko.
Siduduzo said the war vets have hijacked a labour disputes that her mother has with former employees.
In a statement on Tuesday Siduduzo said, "I want to share with you all the harassment that has been happening for a while now towards my mother. Mrs. L. Mphoko.
We had 3 employees who where working for us, amongst others. They where not working well. They where receiving above minimum wage, free food, free accommodation (which I have posted below), free hot and cold clean borehole water, toilet facilities and electricity."
Siduduzo claims the two of employees were fired procedurally after they failed to meet terms of contract.
"Two of the employees, Micheal Moyo, Mehuli Ncube(Malaba), where given three months notice, because they where failing to do their jobs well, and stealing. The third employee was no fired but was convinced by the other two to join them. He agreed. They also sort out another employee ( Mbekezeli) but he refused to join them in their false fight against us, and he instead come and informed us.
"The 3 then went to the labor court to press charges of over time and two of them further went to the Hillside police to open a criminal case against my mother.
the false criminal charges against my mother, where:
1. She gave them 50kgs of mealie meal and then at night went to their rooms to steal a bucket of that very same mealie meal from them!
2. Threatening them with a gun!
"This all apparently happened in April 2018, and no one else saw this happening. Keep in mind besides us her family, we have police at the gate, who constantly patrol the premises, other employees , and neighbors who never saw or heard any of this happening.They remained working for a further 5months.
"They have come out and said they where lying, and have dropped their fake charges.
"Now some War Veterans have high jacked the whole situation and want my mother to be arrested. This is not a secret and we where openly informed that they also want to tarnish my mothers image (slander her in the papers) in-turn to get to my father, former Vice President Mphoko.
"It is very obvious and no secret to the people of Zimbabwe that my parents have been victimized and slandered in the papers, in attempts to tarnish and humiliate them.
Despite constant false accusations towards both my parents, which have been publicized in media, my parents have remained silent, by the grace of God.
"The constant harassment is continuing and yesterday despite the false charges being dropped we had a visit from the police at our private home.
We are officially fed up, of this harassment, defamation of character and constant abuse."The angry Siduduzo said.
Former Vice President Mphoko is also in the courts over the refusal by the Mnangagwa government to give him a retirement package.
