The 1 August military massacre Motlanthe Commission has invited MDC President Nelson Chamisa to give testimony before it next week Wednesday.

Chamisa has been invited based on reports that he incited the violence which occurred on August 1.

The violence was quelled by the police and moments later the military descended into town and began shooting innocent civilians. They killed 7 unarmed civilians . The letter written to Chamisa reads “In the course of the proceedings of the Commission of Inquiry into the 1st of August, 2018 Post Election Violence and hearing of testimony from witnesses, your name was mentioned as among those who played a part in inciting the violence of 1st August, 2018.

“The Commission considers it fair and just that it should have the benefit of your comments, accordingly, is inviting you to come at your convenience on 21 November 2018 to share your views before concluding its proceedings. Your cooperation in this regard would be highly appreciated.”

Speaking on the development, Chamisa’s spokesperson Nkululeko Sibanda said, “when a Commission of Inquiry, that is instituted by a potential player, sits and listens to demonstrably false claims by top army officers, subpoenas no documents or evidence from them, then threatens to subpoena President Chamisa then bad intentions are declared.”
