Movement for Democratic Change (MDC-T) legislator Eddie Cross has said Vice President Emmerson Mnangagwa is "one of the few Zanu-PF officials whose hands are clean of corruption."
Cross said for all along Mnangagwa is the one who got Mugabe back in the State House in 2013.
"Just think about Emmerson Mnangagwa who in the past two weeks has just recovered from being poisoned at a Zanu PF Rally, been lambasted publicly on several occasions by the so called "First Lady" and now humiliated in public by the President – someone whom he has loyally supported all his life," wrote Cross on his website.
He went on to say: "So often in the past 50 years, Emmerson Mnangagwa has taken the heat for Mr. Mugabe, it was the Vice President as Chairman of the Joint Operations Command who gave Zanu PF their two thirds majority in 2013 and returned Mr. Mugabe to State House for another 5-year term. An effective, even brilliant organizer he has held the State captive for Zanu PF. One of the very few Zanu PF Ministers whose hands are relatively clean of corruption he has survived in the Shark Tank – but now is under sustained and coordinated attack."
"Many will argue that those who live by the sword will die in the same way, but still it's a tough call for a man whose whole life has been dedicated to his Party and the State President, even though he knows full well, that the President, more than any other person, is at the very center of our problems and must go or the country runs the risk of either armed conflict, a coup or simply becoming a failed State."
In the same article Cross also wrote about his boss Morgan Tsvangirai's might not be able to handle 2018 elections due to ill-health.
