Terrence Mawawa|Members of the MDC Alliance Veterans Association (VAA) have blasted MDC deputy president Obert Gutu for desperately trying to impress Emmerson Mnangagwa by demonising youthful opposition party leader Nelson Chamisa.

In a statement released yesterday the veterans said it was sad to note that Gutu elected to betray the cause of the struggle in a bid to please” his Zanu PF handlers.”

“It is unfortunate to note that Gutu has chosen to betray the democratic principles as he frantically seeks to impress his bosses in Zanu PF.

Mr Gutu please join the crumbling ruling party as you wish- without venting your pent up frustrations on our leader,” read part of the statement.

Gutu is on record saying he will not mince his words because he is a patriotic Zimbabwean.
