By A Correspondent- Zanu Pf politburo member, Obert Mpofu has come out to defend himself against allegations by Chief Ndiweni that he was behind his arrest and had influenced the complainant in their matter, Mr Fetti Mbele, to file criminal charges.

Chief Ndiweni together with his 13 subjects are accused of destroying a villager’s property.

In his defence, Obert Mpofu said Chief Ndiweni was out of touch with reality since he has been out of Zimbabwe for too long. He further reiterates that Chief Ndiweni was in the habit of raising false allegations against Zanu PF and the government. Mpofu went on to describe him as a political for he had never met.

The first accused person (Chief Ndiweni) has been raising false allegations against Zanu-PF and the Government. His problem is that he has been out of the country for a long time hence he has lost touch with the goings on in the country…

I have never had any meeting with the first accused person. Other than that we are not related in any way except that he is a political foe who could issue statement after statement about me. He makes a lot of anti-Government and Zanu-PF statements and that is what I know.-StateMedia
