By Dorrothy Moyo| The EU ambassador Philippe Van Damme never criticised, attacked, or labelled MDC Alliance leader Nelson Chamisa, “sexist,” contrary to what the Herald reported.

The state broadsheet had reported that the MDC leader has been condemned after the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission chairperson Priscilla Chigumba made claims that she has been abused and villified for being a woman. Critics however say Chigumba abused herself, literally stripped herself into nakedness at both a professional and a personal level when she uttered falsehoods while refusing to address concerns over fairness on the handling of the upcoming polls. She was also found to be in a clear conflict of interest at both a professional and a moral level. Judges and public civil servants must declare their attachment to politicians or persons who can potentially affect their performance at work. But Chigumba has never declared her sexual affair with a sitting politician and minister. Her professional conduct drew questions on her sexual and adulterous relationship with a Emmerson Mnangagwa subordinate and relative who is a cabinet minister.

In the above tweet, the EU embassy dismisses a report in the Herald that makes it appear as if he attacked the MDC leader on sexism. The so called Elders group who include former UN head Koffi Annan, have however come out strongly and openly believing Justice Chigumba on her claim that she has been abused.
