Last week there were reports that Tendai Biti, Secretary General of the MDC-T, flew to Johannesburg on Friday in the company of Arnold Tsunga, a party heavyweight from Manicaland and a Harare-based ambassador (name withheld) to meet treasurer Roy Bennett and other top party members".
It has come to light that the information used as a basis for ther report, which came from a usually reliable source, was wrong, no such meeting ever took place.
Tsunga has advised that the story is "false, malicious, damaging and prejudicial and has no basis whatsoever and that it was calculated to damage his otherwise good reputation and standing."
The story was published in good faith and in no way intended to damage Tsunga's reputation or standing. The error is sincerely regretted and we apologise unreservedly to Tsunga for any embarrassment caused.
For the record, Tsunga does not and has never held keys to the finances of the MDC-T. There was absolutely no basis to link his name with the party's finances or its operational costs.
Tsunga has stated categorically that he is not part of any effort to form a new political party in Zimbabwe or anywhere else.
Bennett has since confirmed that he was not in South Africa at that time.
