Zimbabwe National Liberation War Veterans' Association (ZNLWVA) chairman Christopher Mutsvangwa has alleged that Professor Jonathan Moyo's anger at the war vets is inspired by the fact that Moyo has lost favour with Western embassies and wanted to carry favour with Zanu PF.
Matsvangwa was responding to Moyo's derision of the war-vets on Twitter this week. Moyo early this week, used his Twitter account to pour scorn on ZNLWVA Secretary General Victor Matemadanda, following the latter's interview with the Voice of America (VOA) radio station in which Matemadanda said President Robert Mugabe's government had lost its liberation moral compass.
Moyo said of Matemadanda's interview: "After some mumbo jumbo about fifth columnists infiltrating war veterans, hear this from Matemadanda
In response, Mutsvangwa let rip at Moyo.
"The feckless professor is now reeling into a winter of diplomatic isolation shunned by one after another of the Western embassies that used to lionise him on his past record of imperialist lap dog. As the fast-fading star of the traitor dims out, so rises the glow of war veterans and their impeccable credentials."
Relations between Moyo and war-veterans have been exercabated by Zanu PF succession battles hinged on who should succeed aging Robert Mugabe.
