Harare, Zimbabwe. (News of The South) – Zimbabwe’s main opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai who was on Friday accused by Zimbabwe Vice President Phelekezela
Mphoko for once trying to assassinate the late Vice President John Nkomo, has warned the VP to mind his words on sensitive issues.

Mphoko on Friday made allegations that Tsvangirai was active in the 1980’s atrocities committed by President Robert Mugabe’s government which left
more than 20 000 people dead in the Matabeleland and some parts of Midlands dead.

The VP said the former Premier was behind an assassination attempt of the late vice President John Nkomo and also bombed Tsholotsho Police Camp.

The MDC-T leader and former Zimbabwe Prime Minister has hit back at Mphoko saying the deputy president should not joke with sensitive matter which up
to this day haunts people in the affected regions.

Tsvangirai through his spokesperson Luke Tamborinyoka warned Mphoko not take the issue of Gukurahundi as a joke as the issue was sensitive and needed to be treated with caution as the memories of the atrocities are still fresh and lingering in the minds of many.

“He could have done better if had sought the advice of his colleagues in the same Zanu-Pf faction, who lost their parents during the senseless Gukurahundi period.

At least they could have sat him down to impress upon him that this was no laughing matter, Gukurahundi was too grave matter to clown about,” said the MDC-T leader spokesperson.

Tamborinyoka went on to say that the main opposition leader was contemplating of taking the legal route to sue the Vice President.

“A whole Vice-President, with neither shame nor compunction, grossly maligning and besmirching an innocent citizen and making a sick joke out of a national tragedy smearing an innocent citizen with blood in a desperate bid to make a murderer out of them

“Next time, Mphoko’s minders must assist him to resist the temptation to parade himself in front of television cameras, he surely owes the nation an
elaborate substantiation of his fanciful allegations that do not befit the high office he holds. He will surely have his day in court,” Tamborinyoka
said.
