VICE-President Phelekezela Mphoko has reportedly sued the publisher of
The Daily News over a report claiming that he was "a sellout" and
"enriched himself with the blood of the people of this country".
According to Chronicle, VP Mphoko is suing Associated Newspapers of Zimbabwe (ANZ) for a whopping $50 million.
Mphoko has sued The Daily News chief reporter Fungi Kwaramba, editor-in-chief Stanley Gama, ANZ and Printco (Pvt) Ltd at the High Court over the June 5, 2015, article published under the headline: "Mphoko was a sellout: Sibanda".
The article said in part: "Fearless former war veterans leader Jabulani Sibanda claims that VP Mphoko sold out during the liberation struggle when he allegedly diverted weapons meant for the late Joshua Nkomo's Zapu to President Mugabe's Zanu-PF, a move he says could have led to the needless death of thousands of people."
