The independent daily reported Tuesday that Moyo accused the former ruling party of subjecting the people to abject poverty. Moyo played a crucial role in 2005 when Mpofu re-took the Umguza seat after he had lost it to the MDC in 2000.
The former campaign manager announced his defection to the MDC-T during a weekend rally addressed by the Deputy Prime Minister Thokozani Khupe and deputy organising secretary Abednico Bhebhe at Tatezela in Bubi district.
Moyo addressed the rally and said: “I worked with Mpofu when he was first elected as an MP in 2005. I know that guy in and out. There is no peace or harmony in ZANU PF.
“I have decided to join the MDC after realising that ZANU PF has also caused too much suffering among Zimbabweans. I think it is high time ZANU PF should be stopped,’’
The paper quoted Mpofu professing ignorance over Moyo’s defection saying he does not even know him claiming he is just a decoy of some political novices.
‘I won’t comment on what other politicians are saying. I cannot stoop that low to talk cheap politics of personalities, but will concentrate on working with and helping the people. It shows how desperate they are in trying to entice the people,’ Newsday quoted Mpofu saying. – SW Radio Africa
