By Own Correspondent| Vice President Constantino Guvheya Chiwenga has revealed that its pay back time for opposition MDC who initially spurned an olive branch from President Emmerson Mnangagwa following his landslide victory in the July 30 harmonised polls.

VP Chiwenga said this at the ongoing Zanu Pf national people’s conference in Esigodini Bulawayo.

He said:

“Cde President, you personally stretched out your hand to the opposition after zanu-pf’s July 30 landslide victory.

But the opposition spurned that hand. You have since withdrawn the well stretched hand. All of us follow, principally those of us in Parliament are very happy that our Minister of Justice, Legal and Parliamentary Affairs (Ziyambi Ziyambi), acting in his capacity as leader of the House (in Parliament), sent a clear signal of paying back the opposition in the hard coin they have tossed us. They have chosen to disrespect our leader who is the Head of State of our nation (President Mnangagwa).

We have no reason to handle them with the respect they have voluntarily rejected,”

Last week, Minister Ziyambi chastised opposition parliamentarians for seeking to raise questions with Government ministers yet they chose not to recognise President Mnangagwa, who appointed the ministers.-StateMedia
