War Veterans Secretary General and Deputy Minister of Defence and War Veterans, Victor Matemadanda says he is tired of fighting wars and is now concentrating on his family.

This comes amid concerted efforts to push Matemadanda to defend the under-fire freedom fighters’ leader Chris Mutsvangwa from expulsion following resolutions by Mashonaland West and East to recall the embattled former advisor to President Emmerson Mnangagwa.

Matemadanda had this to say…

“When Mashonaland West announced that they now want Mutsvangwa to be recalled, Mutsvangwa’s wife called me mid-night saying what is your take? I said, I spent five years fighting Mugabe and now I want to work for my family. I don’t want to be dragged into issues of fuel that we are hearing that there are certain people who want to invest in that sector. I have nothing to do with those wars (and) I don’t want to be involved. The fact that I refused to comment on the position taken by Mashonaland West is the reason why they are saying it’s me who is interested in the chairmanship post. The stupidity of whoever is saying that is, the constitution is very clear that if Mutsvangwa steps down today, his deputy is the one who takes over until we elect a new chairman.”
