Opposition MDC Leader Nelson Chamisa has conceded that Former Home Affairs Minister Obert Mpofu phoned him during the election period. Chamisa however has denied that their conversation was about the results of the election.
"Econet is my service provider. His (Obert Mpofu) call was never about the result but the people he alleged to be MDC. It was so bizarre to receive a call from Mpofu. This was his first and last call to me up to today. Why would I discuss unannounced results to concede to a mere junior minister?"Chamisa said.
On Tuesday the former cabinet minister Mpofu blamed the opposition for the violence, adding that he phoned MDC leader Nelson Chamisa appealing with him to take his supporters off the streets of the capital.
He told the Motlanthe Commission that he recorded the phone conversation, "as I always do with suspicious characters. That recording will give you a story … he (Chamisa) admitted that he had lost the elections."
The recording was made available to the Commission which is led by former South Africa president Kgalema Motlanthe.
Chamisa told his supporters to expect to expect lies, falsehoods and deceptive plots from ZANU PF
'We have penetrated, shaken and defeated forces and kingdoms of darkness. It is not going to be easy. Darkness will try to fight back through lies, falsehoods and deceptive plots. They will fail and lose. One day and soon, Zimbabwe shall be the land of the free, just and happy.'
The Motlanthe Commission into the August 1 killings officially closed the public interviews on Tuesday. They are expected to produce a report that shall be table before parliament soon.
