EXCLUSIVE:Chinotimba reveals agenda for Grace’s private meeting
President Robert Mugabe’s wife, Grace, has summoned a select group of war veterans to an exclusive meeting at her Mazowe farm due in less than 24 hours.
Many war vets of note who include the leader himself Jabulani Sibanda have been sidelined from this meeting, ZimEye has learnt. ZimEye has however obtained an exclusive interview with Buhera South legislator Joseph Chinotimba who revealed in his own words what is the agenda for the meeting. Meanwhile Mr Sibanda said Wednesday morning he has no knowledge of the meeting,
“I don’t know about the meeting you are talking about. As a national liberation association, we have requested through the secretary-general to see the President (Robert Mugabe). That is what we are waiting for. The other one I am yet to be appraised. I just heard that the meeting was supposed to be held two weeks ago, and was postponed,” said Sibanda.
Meanwhile Chinotimba speaking on the agenda (audio-recording) Chinotimba linked the meeting with a letter the war vets wish to submit to her husband. Chinoz, as he is popularly called denied firing Jabulani Sibanda stating that he remains the chairman of the War Veterans.
“Jabulani Sibanda is the chairman of the war veterans,” charged Chinotimba.
He said he only criticised Sibanda for not attending any of Grace Mugabe’s rallies.
When asked however if Sibanda will be attending the Mazowe meeting since according to his words, he is still the leader, Chinoz fumbled over words. “Uku kuMazowe hakungonzi asinga asingadi kuenda wonzi waregerereyi – there is no link between not attending the Mazowe meeting, and being fired,” Chinotimba said.
