Vice President Phelekezela Mphoko has revealed that some elements within Zanu PF are pursuing a racial policy which President Robert Mugabe is against.
He said Mugabe (92) who forcibly evicted hundred of white commercial farmers off their land is not racist.
"Some misguided leaders are pursuing a racial policy and they are a disservice to Zanu PF, which is a revolutionary but multiracial political party. While the government is keen on luring foreign direct investment (FDI), it is also working on strengthening relations with local investors," said Mphoko in Nketa.
He warned government officials from misrepresenting the name of Mugabe by attacking the white community, claiming to be propagating the vision of the President.
