ANC, CCC trade barbs

THE African National Congress (ANC) and the Citizens Coalitions for Change (CCC) yesterday traded barbs over the disputed August 23 to 24 elections with South Africa’s ruling
party claiming that the opposition party is a puppet for imperialists.

Addressing journalists at the Zanu PF headquarters in Harare yesterday after meeting ruling party secretary for administration Obert Mpofu, ANC secretary-general, Fikile Mbalula accused CCC of being manipulated by imperialists.

“We are very happy that Zanu PF have emerged victorious here in Zimbabwe because the victory of Zimbabwe signals one thing, the defeat of puppets; it’s signalling one thing, the defeat of imperialists puppets (on) our continent,” Mbalula said.
