President Emmerson Mnangagwa's ruling Zanu-PF reacted angrily to its former members' testimonies before the Commission of Inquiry into the August 1 killings, calling for the police to investigate the "violent thugs."
Former ruling party officials who included former Harare province youth chairperson Jim Kunaka and legislator Shadreck Mashayamombe spilled ruling party beans of how it has institutionalised violence when they appeared before the former South Africa president Kgaleme Motlanthe's commission on Wednesday, leaving Zanu-PF at a loss for words.
While the youth league of the ruling party called for the arrest of Kunaka, who confessed to have committed several barbaric acts under orders from Zanu-PF, the ruling party's spokesperson Simon Khaya Moyo was more guarded than the vociferous youths, saying the ruling party would only comment after the commission makes its report.
"The commission is still sitting and we don't comment when they are still sitting; we only comment when they finish their report," said Khaya Moyo.
