The Mzembi issue is an unfortunate exhibition of callous politicians conveniently altering facts & pseudo-journalists crafting an alternative reality for excitable masses to imbibe on. It’s a total shame to accuse me or anyone of enticing him back. This was his own idea!
The facts are verifiable. There was never any CIO operation because Mzembi APPROACHED ME as he wanted to return. One major reason is that he had split with Kasukuwere. For more than a year& half they have never spoke. He felt unsafe which is why he moved from SA to Zambia!
All this talk about me selling him out is noonday hogwash. I’m no spy& never worked for CIO. Characters like Ali Naka, are merely (social media) guns for hire operating as Sekuru Tyson’s instruments. Ali is working for his food and will peddle any nonsense he is fed.
Instead, they should admit how Mzembi was pushed back here due to fear of Kasukuwere as he no longer felt safe. He crafted his own idea, approached me to facilitate engagements with the relevant powers. Which I did. What part of those actions constitutes enticing him back?
I have always advocated for the return of everyone in exile. For both times involving Mzembi and Kasukuwere in 2018 when approached I simply spoke with the powers that be and facilitated engagements between the parties. Whatever else they agreed or didn’t I was never part of!
Accusations of betrayal are outright fabrications by individuals like Ali Naka who are mere marionettes in this charade. Mzembi is not a victim of anything I did but of that which compelled him to flee from SA. Whatever agreements they spoke about back here I was never part of.
Any serious journalist should investigate those angles instead of peddling cheap lies making a spy of me. I have never worked with CIO. Unless we cultivate a critical mindset we will be perpetually ensnared by manufactured narratives by people with ulterior agendas.
Now they are abusing Susan, using her to advance their narrative. Susan has a well known mental issue which, respectfully, I won’t get into as she is mother to my son. Stop abusing her condition for your agendas please.
I have always advocated for the return of everyone in exile and for the Gvt powers to let bygones be bygones. Because of that I always never hesitate to engage relevant authorities when someone seeks to return home. That is never selling out or enticing anyone!
