Self exiled former G40 Kingpin Professor Jonathan Moyo has alleged that MDC-T Spokesperson Linda Masarira is a hired gun who was used by ZANU PF to counter testimonies by MDC leaders Nelson Chamisa and Tendai Biti.
Said Prof. Moyo , "So all that Zanu PF could do before the Motlanthe Commission yesterday was to present its closing arguments through Obert 'Judas Iscariot' Mpofu and Linda 'You Know Who' Musariri. That was a grubby way of pleading guilty to the 1 August 2018 Army atrocities in Harare. Staggering!"
The former Tajamuka protest leader, Masarara, blamed MDC for the fatal shootings carried out by the army in front of international media.
"I can speak with confidence and evidence that there are two groups who were trained to lead protest though it is said that they were trained to uprise in a non-violent manner which is contrary to the actions that prevailed on August 1," she said.
"The MDC Alliance believes the Government can be persuaded to a government of national unity or to accede to certain demands from the illegal demonstrations that they did coupled with the ongoing demonisation of Zimbabwe."
On Tuesday the former cabinet minister Mpofu blamed the opposition for the violence, adding that he phoned MDC leader Nelson Chamisa appealing with him to take his supporters off the streets of the capital.
He told the Motlanthe Commission that he recorded the phone conversation, "as I always do with suspicious characters. That recording will give you a story … he (Chamisa) admitted that he had lost the elections."
The recording was made available to the Commission which is led by former South Africa president Kgalema Motlanthe.
