Former Deputy Minister for Higher Education, Godfrey Gandawa has claimed that he was tipped off about an attempt to assassinate him and that in the ensuing events four men who said they were from the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) abducted members of his family from his rural home.
A video recorded by Gandawa has the former Zanu PF MP, who is now running as an independent in Magunje, explaining what happened. Gandawa is also Jonathan Moyo’s deputy in the Higher Education Minister and was isolated after his G40 faction was toppled during the November coup.
