BY Dr Masimba Mavaza | Politics becomes brutal and bruising as enemies attack Cde Victor Matemadanda the Deputy Minister of Defence and ZANU PF’s National Political Commissair. Comrade Matemadanda has been accused of impregnating Mr Kaseke’s wife. Mr Kaseke is currently on Wheelchar.
A whatsapp message was circulating with no author saying, “Zanu PF national political commissar Victor Matema Damba impregnates Bety Nhambu Kaseke the wife of Karikoga Kaseke former ZTA CEO. Matemadanda and Kaseke were very close before, during and after the coup time.
“It was Kaseke who used to provide accommodation at rainbow towers to Matemadanda and Mutsvangwa when they were fighting Mugabe. Matemadanda took Betty from Kaseke after Kaseke fell ill, he is now wheelchair bound.
“This is the type of leadership we have in Zimbabwe and we expect these people to fix our political and economic quagmires.”
Cde Matemadanda commented saying, “I have no time for detractors. I am a principled man and i can never go down that low to defile my body with such human endurance. I have a great task for my President My Party and my nation. I do not want to dignify such street talk from people who want to slow down my work.”
In a serious tone Cde Matemadanda said “ we are a few years from 2023. My focus is on winning the elections for my president, my party and all ZANU PF MPs. “
He added “ I am Victor not only by name but in purpose. “
I am aware of some scrupulous people who tried to smuggle some CVs for the DCCs and I stood by the due process and the constitution of the party. By standing resolute I created a lot of friends and enemies. As a result I get a lot of mudslinging and accusations which baseless”
A false allegation of sexual abuse is an accusation that a person committed one or more acts of abuse when in reality there was no perpetration of abuse by the accused person as alleged. Such accusations can be brought by the alleged victim, or by another person on the alleged victim’s behalf. Zimbabwe had seen a lot of false accusations of sexual abuse. This system is extortion and must not be taken slightly.
Looking at the false allegations in Zimbabwe most of the allegations determined to be false, most false allegations originated with an adult bringing the accusations for political milage.
Another possible motive is malice by the person making the allegation against the accused person.
So the allegations against the NPC are coming from people who went to the NPC urging him to reject some CVs for contesting in the DCC but the NPC refused because they did not have any evidence of any wrong doing thus he could not disqualify any one without proof of misconduct. The procedure in ZANU PF is that screening is done by the security department. So those who do not understand the procedure blame the NPC when their CVs are rejected.
Cde Matemadanda is aware of the people who are involved in smearing his character. He said “I want to warn those who are deciding to drag my name in the mud that their time will come”
A number of people interviewed about this case have stated that many laddies love Matemadanda and try to win him over to them. But he has proved to be an upright man who does not need foul play.
Comrade Matemadanda said he has instructed his lawyers to look into the case of defamation of character. If there are prospects of success he will be suing whoever is in a team to soil his name.
Comrade Matemadanda said “todays politics is no longer a dirty game. Politicians do not have to play dirty in order to get recognition. “
The allegations have spread about Mr Matemadanda’s below the belt activities. This he denied with all the contempt it deserves.
It emerged that those people who were trying to build a case against Matemadanda were close to Mr Savanhu and Mrs Nyazema. They are actually a team on the mission their aim is to bring down ZANU PF leaders and they are said to be compiling evidence against the targeted leaders.
Comrade Matemadanda said “these people will fail and I will not be stopped from serving my country by idiots who think they can hold me at ransom. Regai vauukure isu tichifamba nendima.”
Mrs Kaseke when contacted expressed shock and said “we have gone through a lot as a family and we do not need this nonsense.“
Talking about Mr Matemadanda, Cde F Sibanda said “ I have realised that in politics you do not need faint hearted people.
“People throw every dirty at you some do not even care what happens along the way.
“Can you imagine what goes through the mind of the Kaseke family. People must learn that words out of your mouth can never be controlled. So we need to control our words before they are let out.”
Another, Cde Roberty Shanduka said, “people need to consider others. Behind Matemadanda there is a family, there are humans too. They must not be part of this mudslinging. “
