ZIMBABWE National Liberation War Veterans Association
(ZNLWVA) secretary-general Cde Victor Matemadanda has lashed out at Minister of
State for Mashonaland Central Provincial Affairs Advocate Martin Dinha for
bringing the First Family into disrepute by claiming that they had blessed his
candidature for Mazowe North Constituency.
Speaking in Bindura at the weekend, Cde Matemadanda said
Adv Dinha “was being economical with the truth” and his decision to drag the
First Family’s into his shenanigans were hypocritical and aimed at tarnishing
the Mnangagwas’ good social standing.
He said President Mnangagwa was on record condemning
corruption and would not go against his word and endorse a losing candidate in
the primary elections to represent the party.
“I hear that you have fielded two candidates for the Mazowe
North Constituency, with one of them saying I was instructed by the President
to stand despite having a winning candidate.
“That person is a sell-out and a hypocrite who knows the
truth, but chooses to lie.
“The President is the one who opened the elections, saying
everyone must come from the people, yet this guy (Adv Dinha) is going around
saying the same President gave him the nod to contest.
“These are the seeds of Satanism. It is the devil himself
at work.
“Saying I spent the week with the First Lady who blessed my
decision to represent the constituency even after losing, is pure lies. I want
this guy to know that our First Lady is different from Grace, who used to
delegate Tyson to push her agenda. We don’t want people who demean our First
Lady.
“That person should withdraw his candidature.
“Tell him that Matemadanda said if you don’t want things to
turn bad, withdraw immediately, especially when he lies in the name of the
First Family,” Cde Matemadanda declared.
He said President Mnangagwa would not relent in fighting
corruption.
“We are fighting corruption and yet you want to tell the
people of Mashonaland Central that we are in fact corrupt. If you were sent to
destroy the legacy of President Mnangwagwa, it is you who will live to regret,”
added Cde Matemadanda.
Efforts to get a comment from Adv Dinha were futile as he
was not picking up his mobile phone as well as not responding to texted
messages on his phone.
However, Adv Dinha is reported to have written to the
provincial leadership through WhatsApp, in a message seen by The Herald,
accusing them of conspiring against him. Herald
