By Staff Reporter| The Norton MP Temba Mliswa has continued on his allegations blaming civilians for the military mayhem which saw at least 12 people killed last week.

Speaking on the sidelines of the Davos Summit, Mliswa further claimed that last week Monday guns were there before the police and military arrived.

His claims came as several LIVE videos showed that for instance school teachers were violently forced out of their workplaces (classrooms) by soldiers who told them to go join the strike. Even the ZANU PF President Emmerson Mnangagwa has admitted that there was insubordination in the security forces during last week’s chaos.

Mliswa however told ZimEye.com: “two sides of the story are important. I have never condoned looting and violence, but you know we need to be fair, why are people not talking about that, that’s the source of the problems, whether they are ZANU PF or MDC, whether they were police or army, whoever killed anybody they must be arrested.”

He added saying that there were guns on the streets before police arrived.

“But there were guns onto the streets before the police were there. Who were those people with the guns, these were civilians and what did you expect the police to do when they were told to come and save people?

“Things were being looted and this is where they got it all wrong, and people were (sic) never be forgiven for that, and both MDC and ZANU PF are to blame. Their leaders must be held accountable, no two ways about it, …we cannot continue like this and I will be raising the issue in parliament myself to ask that what are the political parties really doing in this country?

“If this is what MDC are going to do when they get into power, then they don’t deserve to be in power. ZANU PF must deal with the economic situation as well.”
