Jane Mlambo| In the ongoing High Court hearing on the legality of the President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s instituted Commission of Inquiry into the August 1 army shootings, the applicant Allison Charles has told the judges that the whole process is not to bring truth but confirmation the Zanu PF leader’s earlier remarks blaming the opposition for the fracas.

He questioned the decision by Mnangagwa to set terms of reference for the commission when he had nothing to lose by leaving it open.

“Mnangagwa already made a decision that the opposition is responsible for the violence. this already reflects a conflicted position. … this could only be done first by making sure that this (commission) passes through cabinet,” argued Charles.
