War veterans hunt Mphoko

War veteran aligned to embattled Emmerson Mnangangwa have rekindled their fight with vice president Mphekezela Mphoko, bluntly accusing him of abusing his office and persecuting all perceived supporters of the midlands godfather.

Main faction spokesperson of the Zimbabwe national liberation war veterans association Douglas Mahiya claimed that Mphoko was hounding embers of his lobby group because they had exposed his links to Zanu-PF ambitious young Turks –the Generation 40 group –which was rabidly opposed to Mnangagwa succeeding president Robert Mugabe.

In march this year the disaffected former liberation struggle fighters also passed damaging vote of no confidence against, accusing him of fanning factionalism and tribalism within Zanu-PF after the gaffe-prone VP suggested at a rally in Chiweshe that it did not follow that since Mugabe was a Zezuru, a Karanga would succeed him.
