'I fear no-one,' says Msipa

Former Zanu PF politburo member and Midlands governor, Cephas Msipa, has dared anyone both within and outside the ruling party to come forward and challenge his account of the liberation struggle as captured in his book In Pursuit of Freedom and Justice A Memoir.

Msipa, who is widely credited for brokering the 1987 Unity Accord, which forged an alliance between Zanu and PF Zapu to end the Gukurahundi massacres in Matabeleland and parts of the Midlands, said he was not afraid of anyone and stressed that he was prepared to defend his account of the liberation struggle.

Speaking during the second launch of his book in Gweru on Friday, Msipa said the publication was not an attack on anyone, as has been widely alleged by his critics, adding he did not owe an apology to "anyone caught in the crossfire".
