Harare(ZimEye)Zimbabwe’s Youth And Indigenisation Minister Savior Kasukuwere has threatened to sue Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai and his party over allegations by the latter’s party that Kasukuwere mobilised youths to disrupt an MDC-T rally in Chitungwiza last week.
Kasukuwere said he may be soon claiming criminal defamation damages from Tsvangirai’s party who have remained adamant that they have undeniable proof that the minister was a ring leader in the violent disturbances.
“He (Tsvangirai) has to tell the nation what happened and who told him that I was in Chitungwiza and doing what. I am not taking this as a joke and the PM should open up. It’s serious criminal defamation…I have since approached him and has assured me that he will check with his sources and take the necessary action to put the the record straight…
“A recent press statement by the MDC President M Tsvangirai alleging that l participated or organized the violence that took place in Chitungwiza on Sunday, is completely false and an unfair attack on me,” said Kasukuwere at the beginning of his public statement.
Yesterday MDC-T spokesperson Douglas Mwonzora said the party had credible evidence Kasukuwere personally mobilised the youths and was in Chitungwiza on the day the clashes occurred.
“We have credible evidence, but we will not divulge the sort of evidence that we have,” said Mwonzora who is also a lawyer by profession.
Tsvangirai has “apologised”
Kasukuwere said Morgan Tsvangirai has apologised to him.
“I spoke to him and he apologised. He said he was sorry, but I want to find out where he got that information. What will be the point for me to disrupt his rally?
“On my part,I travelled to Mutare with Hwata and the entire day l was attending to my business in Mutare.It is unfortunate that malice will drive people to accuse others or make baseless and unfounded allegations. I will defend myself on this allegation and l will get my name cleared. Its been a very painful moment to have such allegations labelled on me by the MDC President.
I hope we will all be matured enough to handle this matter in a manner that is honest and fair. I am sure the PM will have the integrity of stating publicly his findings.
My stance is clear, violence is unnecessary and must be condemned. Young people must not be allowed themselves to be instruments of destruction and aggression. Differences must not be resolved in violent confrontation and the events of last weekend are unnecessary.
I wish a speedy recovery to all the young people who were affected and call upon the law enforcement authorities to bring the culprits to book.(ZimEye, Zimbabwe)

His name is being tarnished but those who lick Chematama’s a-s-s-y see nothing wrong with that.S-v-i-r-w-a-y-i ne k-u-m-u-k-o-s-h-o makanyarara vana Anonymous nedzimwa ngochani dzako.

it is better to rally behind the heavenly kingdom,which wil one day crush these earthly kingdoms and put thm to an end.
What a shame on you foolish Doesntknow. You openly accuse Cde Chando of hate speach while ignoring your boss Tsvangirai’s arrogance. Without verifying with his stupid souce of information, he goes on air again on an appeasement mission, to accuse the honourable Minister Kasukuwere. This is the second time in as many weeks this moron has castigated the same minister, previously for indegenisation and now for political violence.
Be mature chando kupisa. Can not you be old to read between the lines kana kuti ungotiwo dofo sana kasuku. Urizibenzi hazvishamisi ndimi vechipangano what do you gain from assaulting a fellow zim be mindful ida wekwako sezvaunozvida iwe beware the bible is crisp clear on that sorry zvako chando I believe u don’t have a family to look after ukarohwa ukafa zvaunoenda uchindodenha u think Kasuku wil look after your little ones don’t be lost
Mugabe and Tsvangirai preaching peace Chando preaching hate speech, WHAT A SHAME”!!
Sungisai ngochani iyi CDE Kasukuwere.
Mr Paraquat, easy, past performance is always a predictor of future performance. Violence is your modus operandi and unless you want us to believe you are the mafia boss who doesn’t know you lead a violent bunch of goons. Instead of legal threats, as a leader you should be condeming violence in all its forms. How and why was the rally disrupted, what were Chipangano and other zpf thugs doing at an MDC rally. If I may add ..we are doing exactly as you taught us whether you are there or not for thats the way we get to be paid ..by you.
