Roy Bennett, the MDC-T Deputy Minister of Agriculture designate, says
that ZANU PF is still out to get him, despite his acquittal on Monday on
charges of plotting to overthrow the Mugabe regime.
Speaking to SW Radio Africa after his acquittal, Bennett said although the prosecutor said he would not appeal the ruling by the High Court, he had heard that ZANU PF Legal Secretary Emmerson Mnangagwa wants the ruling repealed.
"You are dealing with people who indicate left, but turn right. So I will not be surprised whatsoever if the whole thing is not resuscitated again, if my party decides firmly on me going into the Agricultural Ministry.
Bennett also responded angrily to comments made by Professor Jonathan Moyo in the state controlled Herald newspaper on Tuesday.
While, castigating the MDC-T's Nelson Chamisa for describing Bennett as an 'angel', the ZANU PF MP for Tsholotsho went on to say: "It is absurd and reprehensible to the extreme and this is provocative for the MDC-T to call Bennett an 'angel' when it is common cause that he was an active member of the murderous Rhodesian infantry during the liberation struggle."
