By Dorrothy Moyo| Contradicting itself, Zanu-PF has denied having an agreement for a transitional authority with the late MDC leader Morgan Tsvangirai, when former president Robert Mugabe was removed from power.

This denial comes after the MDC leader Nelson Chamisa revealed that Mnangagwa and his deputy Constantino Chiwenga betrayed Tsvangirai.

Chamisa’s speech at the memorial service of Tsvangirai in Buhera was beamed LIVE by ZimEye.com.

ZANU PF Secretary for Legal Affairs Paul Mangwana, contradicting the party’s own position at the time, which is on video, said Tsvangirai was only promised his pension and that his welfare would be looked after.

Said Mangwana, “I was involved in the discussions and we never deliberated on a transitional authority or any coalition.This was purely a Zanu-PF internal process. The only role played by MDC-T was as an insurance in Parliament in case some of our legislators did not show up for the vote of no confidence.

“So, there was no talk of any coalition at any point.

Zanu-PF had the majority to govern by itself. Whoever is saying anything to the contrary is peddling falsehoods.”
