By A Correspondent| Zimbabwe Justice Minister Ziyambi Ziyambi has accused the MDC of faking abduction to tarnish the government image.

He said the government is not involved in the recent political abductions in the country.

Said Ziyambi Ziyambi:

“Why would we abduct people? To tarnish our own image? It is the MDC who are faking abductions, they are doing it so that they can remain relevant.

They have realised that they were becoming irrelevant. After the demonstration in January, all the other demonstrations that they tried have failed.

Who would abduct Gonyeti for Christ’s sake? Some people I began to know them after their abductions allegations.”

Ziyambi joins other government officials who have also denied the government’s involvement in the recent abductions. 

Permanent Secretary in the Information Ministry, Nick Mangwana, and Deputy Defence minister Victor Matemadanda are also on record saying the same recently
