Defence Minister Emmerson Mnangagwa has misled locals about the on-going constitution writing exercise by telling them it was being stalled by Finance Minister Tendai Biti who is refusing to give money to Copac.

Speaking during distribution of materials purchased for Chirumanzu-Zibangwe constituency under the Constituency Development Fund (CDF), Mnangagwa told the crowd that the MDC did not want to complete the constitution process for fear of losing in subsequent elections.

“Tendai Biti is delaying the completion of the constitution process by not availing money for the programme,” he lied. “His party is the one behind that because they don’t want us to finish the process for fear we will say let’s go for elections which Zanu (PF) will resoundingly win,” Mnangagwa said.

However, speaking toThe Zimbabwean, locals said they were aware MDC was not afraid of polls.

“The majority of people in this constituency understand politics because this is not a remote rural area. What Mnangagwa was saying is so out of touch with reality that no-one can buy it,” said one local who refused to be named.
