A political commentator Ngqabutho Nicholas Mabhena has described the singling out of Vice President Phelekezela Mphoko to accuse him of misusing the state funds by staying at the Rainbow Towers as purely tribal considering the fact that most of the Zanu PF and MDC- T leader have used the state funds in that way and no one complained.

Mabhena said the Matebeleland North Resident Minister Cain Mathema drives daily from Bulawayo to his office in Lupane (370km return),  Makhosini Hlongwane an MP and sports minister is a permanent resident at Crown Plaza hotel in Harare, Marbel Chinomona , the Deputy Speaker of parliament took up residence at Meikles hotel in Harare in 2013,  Supa Mundiwanzira , Minister of Information Communication Technology has just bought a car worth $200 000, its reported he got it from parastatals, Morgan Tsvangirai is a permanent resident at a government villa despite the fact that he is not a government employ and Deputy President Mphoko is a resident at Rainbow Towers since December 2014.

He said the Gushungu business empire was built by state funds and it belongs to the  first family, the Mugabe private home was built by state money, Bona Mugabe used state money when she went to give birth to her child in the Far East and  the Zanu PF head office was built by state money in the 1980s.

"This is what the comprador bourgeoisie is known for. It feeds on the blood of the working class. To isolate Vice President Mphoko and turn this into a tribal bashing is wrong," Mabhena said.

"We must fight this evil system both in the ruling party and the opposition. Zanu PF officials are parasites including the leader of the opposition Morgan Tsvangirai. They have betrayed the working class. Zanu PF lost its revolutionary compass years back so is MDC-T. Let us build the revolutionary party of the working class, the party for socialism, the Communist Party."

Mabhena said it is only the the vanguard of the working class that seeks to advance, deepen and defend the struggle of the working class and the poor. Socialism Is The Future, Build It Now!
