Mugabe's ally faces arrest

War Veterans' minister Christopher Mutsvangwa faces arrest after two Manicaland-based war veterans filed a police report, accusing of verbally abusing and threatening them over the phone.

Michael Makiweni and Gladys Kadungure claimed Mutsvangwa called them on Sunday night and threatened them with unspecified action for "attempting to block his manoeuvres" in Mutare.

Mutsvangwa's alleged threats came after the war veterans resisted the imposition of Nyanga MP Hubert Nyanhongo as their provincial chairperson.

Contacted for comment yesterday, Mutsvangwa said they were his subjects and he had a right to call them.
