FUGITIVE former Zanu PF Manicaland youth chairman Mubuso
Chinguno says he now regrets the decision to align himself with former First
Lady Grace Mugabe and her G40 cabal.
Speaking to NewsDay yesterday from his hideout in South
Africa, Chinguno claimed he had been misled into believing Grace was the final
arbiter in Zanu PF politics and that she was the kingmaker in both party and
government.
“When I was in G40 I was misinformed on everything. As
youths we followed the G40 blindly. As youths we were young and too small on
some actual issues that were happening,” Chinguno said.
“I regret that I made certain decisions and statements
associated with the G40 cabal based on the inadequate information I had.
“I thought that as a loyal and dedicated party cadre I was
doing the right thing, by supporting the former First Lady, not knowing that
she had been compromised.
“Note that as youths we are often not privy to certain
information, especially that which is confidential, in the party and country
particularly with regard to serious accusations against members of the party
and national leadership.”
The former youth leader said he was afraid of coming back
home following his string of unrestrained attacks on then Vice-President
Emmerson Mnangagwa before he took over from former President Robert Mugabe.
“Let the dust settle first. I know what the other G40
members have gone through. But as of now I would like to apologise to President
Emerson Mnangagwa and everyone who might have been offended by my actions,”
Chinguno said.
Other G40 members who have skipped the country and are yet
to return include former ministers Saviour Kasukuwere, Jonathan Moyo, Patrick
Zhuwao and Mandiitawepi Chimene, among others. Newsday
