20 Jun 2016 at 12:22hrs | Views
Zanu-PF top spin doctor, Jonathan Moyo has made bold claims that Zimbabwe People First leader Joyce Mujuru is making political capital out of Gukurahundi atrocities.
Last week, Mujuru was quoted saying once elected as President she will bring perpetrators to book.
More than 20 000 people in Matabeleland and some parts of the Midlands were killed by the fifth brigade.
President Robert Mugabe has never apologised only saying it was a moment of madness.
Writing on his social media micro blogging site - twitter, Moyo accused Mujuru of seeking relevance by using the Gukurahundi issue.
He posted, "Its interesting that Mum Mujuru who was mum during Gukurahundi now seeks to profit from it! ".
As usual, his comment attracted a barrage of attacks by his followers.
Some said Moyo is also profiting from Gukurahundi through his silence.
A former critic of Mugabe, Moyo once revealed that his father was killed by Gukurahundi forces.
Said Dr Tendai "@ProfJNMoyo And u Prof who was so vocal about gukurahundi are now mum about it, and profiting from it".
Shellylane added "@ProfJNMoyo even more interesting that you see Mai Mujuru's flaws after she is out of your ZANU PF, be easy on her, she is still your leader."
Mathews Dera said "@ProfJNMoyo As amazing as a Mugabe critic turned Spin Doctor because of Chingwa".
Bmusonza said Mujuru was not involved in the heinous crime. "@ProfJNMoyo Mujuru was never part of Gukurahundi perpetrators. her husband never involved. Five Brigade was operating from President's office".
Ruyedzo Mutizwa joined the attack saying " @TOITASEYI @bmusonza @ProfJNMoyo I don't usually agree with @ProfJNMoyo but he said mum and silence means concurrence and him also is mum on injustice and poverty".
FearlessJournalist @mugrade_seven @ProfJNMoyo your father was killed during gukurahundi but you are mum about it."
One Bryan Nana said Moyo was silent because he is busy looting resource.
"@DiminguB @ProfJNMoyo Just like u, before 2000 u saw the rot in Zanupf but now it's squeaky clean Becoz u r benefiting from the looting?
During her first rally as opposition leader in Bulawayo on Saturday, Mujuru avoided the emotive Gukurahundi issue.
