Mujuru allies stage-manages provocation for Chatham House attention

In the ongoing counter accusations, Zanu PF says Zimbabwe People First (ZimPF) activists deliberately provoked Zanu-PF youths going about their business in Guruve over the weekend in order to create a scene ahead of the party's leader Joice Mujuru's address at the Chatham House in London, UK, scheduled for next week.

According to state owned newspapers, Brig-Gen Mutambara, who was in the company of a group of other ZimPF activists, reportedly fired gunshots at Zanu-PF members going about their business. He was, in turn, injured in the ensuing melee when Zanu-PF members defended themselves.

Secretary for Information, Media and Broadcasting Services George Charambasaid that the deliberate provocation was done to build a case that would form part of Dr Mujuru's presentation to Chatham House.

Charamba issued a strong warning to Brig-Gen Mutambara whom he described as one of the biggest beneficiaries of both the Government and President Mugabe to stop playing dirty politics.
