Acting Vice-President Phelekezela Mphoko has defended under-fire Zanu-PF National Political Commissar Saviour Kasukuwere saying the allegations raised against him were being fabricated. In an interview, Mphoko said:
We’ve had a number of senior party members holding this post,
These include the late Cdes Moven Mahachi, Border Gezi and Elliot Manyika. They all had no training except for Cde Webster Shamu, who also was once the party’s national commissar.
Nobody complained. Now, there is Cde Kasukuwere and some people complain and raise issues of training. This shows that their protests are not genuine. They have hidden agendas.
It’s clear that there’s someone whom they want to force into that position. If that’s the case they should ask President Mugabe to appoint a new commissar rather than embarrass the President and the party leadership.
