Eddie Cross on Mnangagwa persecution and poison hell

MDC-T legislator Eddie Cross has distanced Vice President Emmerson Mnangagwa from any corrupt activities in the country in unsolicited comments likely to invite a backlash from his own party.

He said Mnangagwa was a prominent politician who has had his own share of misfortunes.

He continued: “So often in the past 50 years, Emmerson Mnangagwa has taken the heat for Mr. Mugabe, it was the Vice President as Chairman of the Joint Operations Command who gave Zanu PF their two thirds majority in 2013 and returned Mr. Mugabe to State House for another 5-year term.

“An effective, even brilliant organiser he has held the State captive for Zanu PF.

“One of the very few Zanu PF Ministers whose hands are relatively clean of corruption he has survived in the Shark Tank – but now is under sustained and coordinated attack.”

Cross has been a strong advocate against corruption both in parliament and outside.
