"Mphoko must be investigated immediately for the role he played in Gukurahundi as I am convinced he is hiding something from the nation," ex-army officer and opposition party United Crusader for Achieving Democracy (UCAD), Albert Matapo said in an interview recently.
VP Mphoko once said: "On Gukurahundi, I was a victim, because I was arrested together with Edward Ndlovu, Welshman Mabhena, Sydney Malunga and others. My arrest is well documented and was reported by the BBC. Judith Todd wrote extensively on my arrest."
"On CIO, Dabengwa, seconded members from his NSO department in 1980 including Mlambo and others. I and other former ZPRA commanders were never called to join the army. I was only employed by Government in November 1981, as deputy director for demobilisation. When the demob exercise ended, I was transferred to the Department of Employment and Employment Development in the Ministry of Labour and Social Welfare. In 1987, I was transferred to the diplomatic section of the President's Department (CIO) and posted to Mozambique in September 1987 as liaison officer, before I was posted to Austria. Victor Mlambo and Gorden Butshe were the ones who were working for CIO even during the Gukurahundi era. Not me. Records are there."

In January this year VP Mphoko was quoted saying: "All these allegations are not true. I never joined the CIO and I don't know where such allegations are coming from. In 1980 I was hired by the Government as a deputy director in the Ministry of Labour." - See more at: http://bulawayo24.com/index-id-news-sc-national-byo-61526.html
