The opposition MDC-T, led by Dr Thokozani Khupe, has commended the Commission of Inquiry investigating the post-election violence that occurred in Harare on August 1.

In a statement yesterday, the MDC-T said it noted the commitment of the commission and was hopeful that Zimbabweans and the global world would get to know what exactly transpired on the fateful day, leading to the exposure and prosecution of the perpetrators.

“We believe the commission must be given enough room to manoeuvre in order to get to the root cause of the problem.”

Khupe’s statements come as a surprise to most people as they are contradictory to other opposition parties and civic society groups that have condemned the commission’s composition and operations.

Khupe and her party members have been surprise bedfellows with the ruling ZANU PF since the July elections.
