By Simba Chikanza| Norton MP Temba Mliswa has spoken for the first time over Twitter based allegations that claim that he slept with and infected a school girl.

Speaking to ZimEye in France Thursday morning, Mliswa said he is prepared to resign should that be proven.

A woman running by the name Mai Tindo (@TindoMai) made the allegations last week.

But Mliswa told ZimEye, “I represent people, it is important that the people I represent feel safe around me. I have a daughter who is 27 and others who are teenagers, and from a point of principle I have vowed never to date any person that age or below, and that I have guarded jealously.”

He continued saying, “this must be dispelled once and for all. Me being a legislator, I am prepared to resign as a member of parliament because it is not fitting for any member of parliament to behave like that.

“Anyone who carries such an allegation must quickly name that school-child they allege I slept with and also infected with an STI.

“I am currently out of the country, but once I am back in the next few days, I will next Tuesday at 10am in Harare do an open or public HIV test at the Media Centre in conjunction with the AIDS council.

“I would also like to say that this person attacking me is also furthermore attacking victims of HIV, promoting a misleading stigma.”

Mliswa added saying the person making the allegations must also come to the Media Centre with the alleged girl friend and get tested together with him.

“I also ask the person making these allegations to come with the victim and get tested also, ” he said.

Meanwhile, Mliswa will be LIVE on ZimEye Friday morning at the Brussels Press Club.
