Self-exiled former Cabinet Minister and G40 kingpin, Professor Jonathan Moyo, has come guns blazing accusing the MDC Alliance of campaigning for the imposition of sanctions on the country that had massively destroyed lives.

Yesterday, Moyo published a 24-point Twitter thread, where he claimed that the MDC-A opposed the historic land reform program and campaigned for the illegal sanctions to be imposed on Zimbabwe.

“It’s a fact that the MDC opposed the historic land reform and campaigned for sanctions. It’s an agreed position in SADC, African Union, the United Nations General Assembly and some International Financial Institutions that sanctions have  destroyed lives and livelihoods in Zimbabwe,” said Prof Moyo.

Moyo added that he could not be forced into supporting the MDC against his conscience.

“Someone like me, who has never been, is not seeking to be MDC. I will not parrot MDC positions against my conscience. Differences and commonalities must be acknowledged,” said Moyo.

Pouring cold water on the wide insinuations by the opposition that there was rampant state-sponsored abductions and torture in the country, Prof Moyo said during his time in Cabinet, Government did not craft any law in support of abductions and torture.

“There were heinous crimes committed against individuals and groups in the total eight years I served in Cabinet. There were no policies or laws to abduct, torture or kill anyone,” added Moyo.

The shaky relationship that once existed between Moyo and the MDC Alliance is slowly fading away with Moyo coming in the open attacking the MDC Alliance and its leadership.

At the weekend, Moyo demanded that the MDC Alliance leader, Nelson Chamisa, should tell his supporters to stop insulting him on social media because he assisted that party by publishing what he called a “historic book on the 2018 elections”.
