By Own Correspondent| Zanu Pf national chairperson, Oppah Muchinguri Kashiri, who is also the Minister of Defence and War Veterans Affairs, says there are fake war veterans who are masquerading as comrades warning that her ministry will soon weed out such elements.

The war veterans minister said she will soon be asking questions on the roles played by those who claim a hand in the liberation war adding that those who joined opposition leader Nelson Chamisa are “fake war veterans”.

Said Muchinguri Kashiri:

“There are benefits that are supposed to be enjoyed by war veterans chief among them is access to the land. After the land audit, we said 25 percent of the land should be given to war veterans.

We will not just give any war veteran because some of them are fake and they lie about their credentials. We are going to vet them.

We have cases of people who are below 50 years and claim to be war veterans. We would like to know which comrades you worked with during the liberation struggle because comrades have a sharp memory.

Chamisa claims to have liberation war veterans in his party and we wonder which war veterans and which liberation struggle are they talking about. A real war veteran does not abandon ship and join the enemy. Real war veterans are in Zanu PF and anyone else is fake.”-TellZim
