VICE-PRESIDENT Emmerson Mnangagwa has reportedly avoided using his official VP's office at the Zanu-PF headquarters in Harare on security grounds following a suspected cyanide poisoning attack last December which left his secretary hospitalised for months.
Party insiders told NewsDay that the incident had scared Mnangagwa who suspects that the cyanide attack was targetted at him amid speculative reports that it was an inside job. Mnangagwa, according to party sources, now hardly visits the party headquarters and when he does he will be heading to President Robert Mugabe's office for briefings.
But Mnangagwa yesterday rubbished the reports as mischievous.
"I am using the office just that it has been undergoing renovations for some time. First to be renovated was the office being used by Vice-President (Phelekezela) Mphoko and he has since fully moved in and now they are working on mine. Whoever told you is misleading," Mnangagwa said.
"Don't listen to your drunken friends. I have three offices by the way, I use the one at the Ministry of Justice and I also use the one which was occupied by Amai (Joice) Mujuru at Munhumutapa Building. So, I have enough offices to use. Even on Friday I was at party HQ and I was in my office."
