Terrence Mawawa|The Commission of Inquiry report on the August 1 shootings has been tampered with to protect those who killed innocent civilians, the MDC A has said.

See part of the MDC A statement below: ” The conflation of Zanu PF and the state in the history of Zimbabwe has resulted in the unfortunate systemic and serial killing of civilians seen as opposition from immediately after independence to this day. The Gukurahundi experiences in the 80s; the targeting of white farmers and hundreds of thousands of farm workers at the beginning of the new millennium, Operation Murambatsvina in 2005 that left more than 1.5 million people
homeless; post-election violence in 2008 with widespread and systematic extra-judicial killings are
some of the examples of the result of this conflation of the party and the state.

The deliberate failure to implement the constitution is part of a process that Zanu PF uses to reduce our electoral process into a charade meant to use electoral democracy as an instrument to acquire state power and place it in the hands of a small cabal that has conflated security, executive and economic power to the detriment of Zimbabwe’s development.

And even worse the report was released by a subject of the investigation thereby bringing doubts on whether it wasn’t doctored.Jacob Mafume
