Goche implicated in hiring hit men to assassinate Mugabe

WAR veterans have called for the removal of Public Service, Labour and Social Services Minister Nicholas Goche after he was implicated in hiring hit men to assassinate President Mugabe.

 War veterans accused Goche of being ungrateful after President Mugabe appointed him to serve in his Government despite the fact that he did not have liberation war credentials, but still had the guts to plot to unseat him.

It is alleged that Goche made contingencies for the assassination of President Mugabe during his recent meetings with potential hit men in South Africa and Israel.

Goche is one of those senior Government and zanu-pf officials working with Vice President Joice Mujuru to unseat President Mugabe in their bid to effect illegal regime change in Zimbabwe.

He allegedly used the cover of official Government business in Western Europe to make stops in Israel and South Africa to allegedly look for a hitman in pursuance of the plots which led to the suspension of zanu-pf secretary for information and publicity Rugare Gumbo.

Goche denied the allegations when contacted last night. "I have never been in Israel," he said. "You can check my passport to see if I have been in Israel."
