War veterans respond to reports they are forming political party

Addressing a press conference at the Zimbabwe National Liberation War Veterans’ Association (ZNLWVA) Bulawayo provincial offices in Entumbane, the organisation’s national vice chairman, Headman Moyo denied reports that they are forming a political party and said that they remain loyal to Zanu-PF.

Said Moyo:

We want to disassociate ourselves from recent media reports that we want to form a political party. We disown the statement that came out making those claims. We as ZNLWVA, we fought and agreed to the unity which was signed by our two fathers ubaba u (Dr Joshua) Nkomo lobaba u (President) Mugabe so we will remain within Zanu-PF. We called you here so that we meet as leaders and show direction. We last had a meeting in February and waited for another in April like we did last year, we will meet our President for our great Indaba and we are still waiting because he promised that we will meet every year. We wanted to make our position very clear that we are not in any way involved in the formation of the party being talked about.
