By Own Correspondent- Self exiled Professor Jonathan Moyo has denied being part of the ‘system’ that has ruled the country since 1980.

Moyo was responding to an activist Brighton Chiwola who had accused him of being part of the system since time immemorial urging the Professor to at least apologise for previous atrocities.

Said Chiwola:

“But honestly speaking Prof at some point you’ve to own to having been part of the system, not just the government or party, but the SYSTEM in all its ugliness! And say I am sorry!”

Prof Moyo however responded refuting allegations that he was part of the former president Robert Mugabe’s system and said:

“No. Forget it. I cannot and will never own up to a fiction. Me, son of Mlevu from Zhuwane, part of the SYSTEM? The Mgagao system? You better be kidding. I would rather share what I found out and what I experienced; which I’m doing for posterity!”

Moyo further added that the ousted former Zimbabwean leader was never the father of the system as has always been alleged all of which will be explained in a book that he is currently authoring.

“Bob was never the father of the system. Never. That’s one thing many have gotten wrong. The story will be told. I’m not writing to answer anyone’s questions but to tell my story!”

ZANU PF officials have always spoken of  a system that is running that country but have never explained who or what the system is. 

In 2015 Presidential Spokesperson George Charamba told Prof Moyo that, “Minister, the system is asking if Moyo is not supporting VP Mnangagwa to succeed, so who then is he supporting? Why is he trying to prevent VP Mnangagwa? That makes him dangerous and he must be stopped.”
