War veterans leader Christopher Mutsvangwa, has rubbished a claim that he during a Zifm interview this week, uttered words to the effect of declaring that People First leader Joice Mujuru is “the vital trunk” that holds Robert Mugabe’s ZANU PF party.
An unsolicited message circulating yesterday ascribed the following words to Mutsvangwa:”It was a grave mistake for Zanu PF including me to expel mai Mujuru. I will not be surprised if someone told me that she went away with 60% of Zanu pf supporters. Ever since she left Zanupf, there is no peace. She was like a trunk on a tree. A trunk holds the tree. If there is no trunk, there is no tree to talk of,” Chris Mtsvangwa was said to have uttered on the radio station on the 12th April, 2016.
But Mutsvangwa last night told ZimEye.com, that claim is false. “Absolutely not true,” he said.
He continued, “Never had an interview with Zifm[this week],” he said as he added that it is all “concocted rubbish.”
A perusal of Zifm interview archives also appeared to confirm that the aforementioned words were never uttered by Mutsvangwa as there was no programming listing branded with Mutsvangwa’s name.
