The
claims
were
made
in
a
Facebook
post
by
Wafawarova
(Rizz
Wafa),
who
alleged
that
Mpofu
is
part
of
a
so-called
“Matebeleland
Cabal”
working
behind
the
scenes
to
give
legal
justification
to
ZANU-PF’s
Agenda
2030.
He
wrote:
“Canaan
Dube,
Jonathan
Moyo,
Thabani
Mpofu,
Mbuso
Fuzwayo,
Nqobani
Sithole
and
Method
Ndlovu
–
The
Matebeleland
Cabal
that
has
collectively
pocketed
$20
million
for
sanitizing
and
legally
dressing
Mnangagwa’s
2030
Term
Extension
Agenda.”
In
response,
Mpofu
demanded
that
Wafawarova
provide
evidence
to
support
his
claims,
warning
that
he
would
take
action
if
he
failed
to
do
so.
Mpofu
wrote
on
X:
“In
the
interests
of
robust
engagement
and
scrutiny,
Mr
Wafawarova
must
be
encouraged
to
produce
his
evidence.“He
will
obviously
fail
to
do
so
because
he
is
lying,
and
thereafter
I
will
proceed
against
him.“At
the
present
moment,
I
can
say
this
without
impeding
his
ability
to
establish
his
case:“Everything
that
Mr
Wafawarova
has
said
about
me
is
not
only
false
but
also
inane.“This
goes
even
for
basic
facts
like
my
place
of
origin.
I’m
from
the
Midlands.”
Mpofu
asserted
that
he
has
not
been
briefed
by
Dube
at
any
point
over
the
past
eight
years.
He
said:
“I
have
not
been
briefed
by
Mr
Dube,
maybe
in
some
8
years
now.
I
have
obviously
been
briefed
by
some
lawyers
from
his
firm
over
the
years.“The
allegation
that
I
was
briefed
to
handle
this
term
limit
nonsense
is
therefore
not
only
false
but
could
not
have
been
responsibly
made
by
any
journalist
interested
in
telling
the
truth.“I
have
put
my
life
on
the
line
in
my
fight
against
2030.
I
fight
on
the
frontline,
and
I
fight
with
everything
that
I’ve
got.“Like
most
of
you,
I’m
interested
in
knowing
the
real
allegations
against
me.
Mr
Wafawarova
has
up
to
midday
to
pitch
in.“In
the
meantime,
I
must
say
this
and
trust
to
say
it
twice
over;
I
absolutely
detest
both
Mnangagwa
and
this
2030
agenda,
which
is
fronted
by
dubious
characters
with
whom
I
have
been
openly
at
loggerheads.“I’ll
differ
with
people
on
how
to
push
back
against
Mnangagwa,
but
I’ll
maintain
my
independence
and
will
not
let
anyone
tell
me
how
to
prosecute
my
protest.”
