Chihuri claims credit for stopping MDC-T

Augustine Chihuri Police Commissioner-General has all, but confirmed that State security agents played a critical role in stopping the opposition MDCs from dislodging the ruling Zanu-PF party from power and brutally thwarted opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai's "regime change agenda" since 1999.

Speaking at his graduation ceremony at the Mt Carmel Institute of Business Intelligence in Harare where he was conferred with a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) degree on Saturday, Chihuri said the details of police's brutal purge on opposition activists formed part of his thesis titled Policing in Zimbabwe, Pre-Colonial, Colonial and Post-Independent Zimbabwe.

He accused the main opposition MDC-T of trying to use violence to unseat Zanu-PF, but said police managed to keep it at its minimum.
