Mphoko- Tshinga fight over War vets

VP has reprimanded Welfare Services for War Veterans, War Collaborators, Former Political Detainees and Restrictees Minister Colonel (Retired) Tshinga Dube for supporting veterans led by Cde Christopher Mutsvangwa.

“Cde Tshinga, you are right, but do not include (Victor) Matemadanda and Mutsvangwa in your issues. If you lean on those two, you will fall for sure. We want those two to come for dialogue, but if they do not want, do not force them. Let them be.

“We cannot support people to do this; just like Mutsvangwa and Matemadanda. So, I encourage you, Cde Tshinga, to panel beat your issues regarding these two people. You are one of us, together with Mlala. Fix these things now and do not get lost.”

However Tshinga Dube would have none of it.

“I do not lean on anyone. I do not lean on Mutsvangwa and Matemadanda. I just follow rules,” he said in an interview.

“The ZNLWVA led by Mutsvangwa is the legitimate association and we will continue to work with them. It is not about Mutsvangwa as an individual. If Mlala can go back to the others we will work with him. If he forces a congress and is elected to lead the ZNLWVA even if someone else is elected we will work with them,” Dube added.

“If they want to form their own association, we will recognise them as well. The High Court ruled that we should recognise the leadership that is in place and that is what we are doing.”
