President of Zimbabwe Robert Mugabe, centre left accompanied by CIO Director Happyton Bonyongwe arrives at the Avenues Clinic in Harare to visit injured Morgan Tsvangirai.In a shocking revelation that might threaten the fragile power sharing deal between ZANU PF and the MDC,it has emerged that at least three ZANU PF ministers knew about the accident which injured Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai and killed his wife Susan ,according to a report that was submitted to the MDC.
The details are contained in a 50 page investigation report that was carried out by a private investigation company and summited to the MDC two weeks after the accident,but the MDC has kept a tight lid on it and some members of the National Executive have not even seen it.
According to the report Defence Minister, Emmerson Mnagagwa,Transportation Minister, Nicolas Goche and Justice Minister,Patrick Chinamasa likely knew about the accident a few days before it happened.
The report also questions if President Mugabe knew about the accident beforehand as his travel arrangements to visit Avenues Hospital started being made in the morning of the day the accident occurred. Hospital Staff reportedly witnessed security agents and Mugabe’s security detail being dispatched to man the hospital in the morning.
Also in the document is compelling evidence that the Driver of the truck,Chinoona Mwanda has strong links to the Central Intelligence Organization(CIO) and the Army. The driver of the truck, which belongs to the United States Development Agency(USAID) was taken into police custody after the accident.
According to the investigation Tsvangirai’s vehicle was being escorted by a Central Intelligence Organization vehicle which, for no known reason, increased its speed and disappeared from view. Just as that CIO vehicle was out of view a truck coming in the opposite direction appeared and sideswiped the PM’s car.
MDC officials claim that no help was provided by CIO guards on the scene and when a white farmer arrived and began to film the scene he was arrested and his pictures were confiscated.
Several MDC politicians have since been involved in highly questionable road accidents since the signing of the power sharing deal.
Giles Mutsekwa, the MDC-T Home Affairs Minister was involved in a car accident last month. Mutsekwa was travelling to Harare on Mucheke road when his car was hit from behind by a Nissan Hard Body truck.
Deputy Prime Minister Thokozani Khuphe’s mother died from injuries received in an accident on the Bulawayo-Harare road last month. Minister of State Gorden Moyo and Minister of State Enterprise and Parastatals Sam Nkomo were travelling to Harare airport last month when the vehicle in which they were travelling was also hit from behind by another vehicle.
