Mutsvangwa challenges Moyo to public debate

WAR veterans have challenged Higher Education minister Jonathan Moyo to a public debate over a number of issues, chief among them the acrimonious Zanu PF succession issue and runaway corruption by government officials.

Zimbabwe National Liberation War Veterans’ Association spokesperson, Douglas Mahiya, told a Press briefing yesterday that Moyo should accept a public debate with the former freedom fighters’ chairperson, Christopher Mutsvangwa.

Moyo, a leading light in the G40 faction said to be fighting hard to stop Vice-President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s bid to take over from the ailing President Robert Mugabe, has accused war veterans of pushing a factional agenda and trying to prop up the VP.
