Simon Khaya Moyo Zanu-PF national chairman has challenged Vice-President Emmerson Mnangagwa to come clean over his recent "reckless utterances" and disparaging remarks, suggesting the late Vice-President Joshua Nkomo was a sell out and that he lost the 1980 elections because of his alleged soft spot for whites.
Mnangagwa accused of being the mastermind of the 1980 mass killings of over 20 000 people in Matabeleland and Midlands provinces dubbed Gukurahundi, recently touched a raw political nerve, when he claimed in an interview with New African magazine, that Nkomo represented the interests of the white minority.
The Zanu-PF Midlands "godfather" claimed this was revealed to him by the late former Rhodesian Prime Minister Ian Smith soon after independence.
