Under-fire Public Service, Labour and Social Welfare Minister Nicholas Goche has been accused of pushing for regime change by working with MDC-T in the run up to last year’s harmonised elections that were convincingly won by President Mugabe and Zanu-PF. In an interview on the sidelines of the crunch provincial elections directorate meeting in Bindura on Monday, Mashonaland Central provincial youth chairman, Cde Godfrey Tsenengamu, said Cde Goche worked with the MDC-T to convince people to abandon Zanu-PF.

“Goche wanted to prolong the Government of national unity,” said Cde Tsenengamu. “He worked with MDC-T in a bid to ensure that the opposition wins the elections.

He was misleading people here telling them that MDC-T and Zanu-PF had merged to form a single party and pleaded with them to treat Mr Tsvangirai as one of their leaders.”

Cde Tsenengamu said Cde Goche and his team were plotting to unseat President Mugabe as the First Secretary of the party and replace him with Vice President Joice Mujuru.

He said the youths were exposing Cde Goche’s machinations in the province to protect the President and his family against the rogue elements in party.
“President Mugabe is the face and symbol of the revolution,” said Cde Tsenengamu. “All these people serving as ministers, Politburo members and MPs are doing so at his pleasure, unfortunately these guys seem to have forgotten who is the principal by making nefarious manoeuvres to defy the President. They are usurping his powers and undermining his authority as they plot to unseat him at the party’s congress and replace him with VP Mujuru.So, we thought before they carry out the threat we should remind them that we are totally behind the President for he has done his best to make us a progressive people through policies, among them education for all, land reform, indigenisation and economic empowerment.

“We are not going to give room for elections at congress. We want the President to be allowed to use his powers to appoint his team.”
Cde Tsenengamu said VP Mujuru displayed a propensity of defiance when she refused to heed growing calls for her resignation.

    Mugabe never won any elections convincingly. They have been rigging since 1980! Ask Thabo Mbeki.

    So The Herald thinks anyone will believe this story. Some of the desperateness is reaching alarming levels.

    The Herald lacks competent journalists. Why did mugabe appoint goche minister? Shows shallowness in zanu puff.

    “… land reform, indigenisation and economic empowerment” have all failed as policies.

    And the forceful acquisition of a persons assets (51% under ‘indigenisation’) can be taken to the UN. It is a form of apartheid/
