By A Correspondent| Former President Kgalema Motlanthe yesterday secretly flew out Harare without disclosing to the public his report on the 1 August 2018 brutal military massacre which enabled ZANU PF leader, Emmerson Mnangagwa to successfully alter the election results according to his plan announced 8 months earlier on the 15th December 2017.
Earlier this week, Motlanthe’s spokesman, John Masuku had announced saying the full report would be available to the public today.
But Motlanthe flew out of Harare late Saturday afternoon with no mention of the full report.

By 7pm Saturday night, Masuku had tweeted saying there is now a new delay. He wrote: “#CommissionOfInquiry still polishing report. NOT yet presented to @edmnangagwa . Only Executive summary of findings & recommendations of #1AugustInquiry already handed in. Commission within (the) 19 Dec deadline. Only @edmnangagwa has prerogative of making report public.”
It is believed the reason why the commission rushed to produce the report was fear of impending litigation as families of victims were working on their files.
Up to the time of its final day, the Motlanthe commission had both blocked and avoided numerous survivors some who were shot in the bloody massacre, yet accommodating hired politicians and well known scammers to speak and be interviewed. Human Rights lawyers this week revealed their ordeal at the commission’s hands as several witnesses were refused access to testify.
– THIS IS A DEVELOPING STORY –
Why talk of an ED prerogative on the last day today? You had earlier in the week promised the report would be public today. Why the change? @edmnangagwa @nelsonchamisa @ProfJNMoyo https://t.co/OMSyli3PNb
