By Own Correspondent| War veterans here have accused opposition MDC Alliance led by Nelson Chamisa of causing shortages and price hikes in order to push citizens to rise up against President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s legitimate government.

Spokesperson for the Zimbabwe National Liberation War Veterans’ Association (ZNLWVA), Douglas Mahiya said the shortages and price hikes was testimony that Zanu-PF is not getting co-operation and support of the business community.

Said Mahiya:

“It is an economic battle between the oppressors and the oppressed. Price hikes and shortage of basic commodities is a battle for the people to be caused to turn against their vote and disapproval themselves from being a justifiable population to have a government which determines its destiny.

That is where the antagonism is and that is why I am citing the MDC in the disappearance of these things in order to force society to rebel a legitimate elected government of the people.

They failed at the ballot box and now they want to make people suffer and make people listen to them. However, we will not be able to take that.”-Newsday.
