Is Mai Mujuru’s party so naïve?

ZANU-PF infiltrates every opposition party and every serious organisation including all the media houses especially the so-called “independent” papers, usually at the highest level- normally within the top five of any organisation.

When the Zimbabwe Congress of Trade Unions was the strongest opponent of the government in the 1990s, number two and number four in the organisation, then headed by Gibson Sibanda and Morgan Tsvangirai, were ZANU-PF.

When Tsvangirai left the trade union movement to form the Movement for Democratic Change, an intelligence officer was within the interim executive.

When Nyarota started the Daily News, one of the most senior editors was an operative.

Even the Independent and the Financial Gazette had and may still have moles.

So, is Gumbo not aware of this, or he is just trying to hoodwink our unquestioning media which seems to swallow anything from the opposition?
