Harare(ZimEye)-Both MDC formations, including ZAPU heavy -weights boycotted the burial of the late National hero Nevison Nyashanu on Sunday.
The late former ZAPU deputy secretary General and Buhera North legislator Nyashanu died on the eve of the Boxing Day holiday at the age of 84 in Harare.
Only present at the event were members of the apostolic sect set who were holding pro-ZANU-PF banners and the party’s violent youths who sang and cheered.
The smaller MDC faction leader Arthur Mutambara who used to attend state functions which MDC-T leader Morgan Tsvangirai would have boycotted was also not present.
Observers believe that Mutambara might have avoided the hero’s burial because of his internal party politics.
The party wants to replace him with Welshman Ncube, who is the current Secretary General.
President Mugabe who is on leave was also reluctant to attend the burial of the former ZAPU secretary general Nevison Nyashanu. John Nkomo who is the acting President graced the occasion.
In a traditional ZANU-PF style the Acting President castigated the west for refusing to lift sanctions.
“The west has no interests in this country besides defending their own interests. They want our land and natural resources and a government that protects their interests,” he said. (ZimEye, Zimbabwe)
