Sleeping with the enemy Outspoken deputy minister of Foreign Affairs, Chris Mutsvangwa, has hosted US diplomat Eric Little at a private party at his residence in Norton, amid accusations that the Zanu PF faction aligned to Justice minister Emmerson Mnangagwa is clandestinely working with American officials. Mutsvangwa, who is often quoted by State media denigrating other senior Zanu PF officials accused of cavorting with Western diplomats in an alleged plot to oust President Robert Mugabe from power, confirmed yesterday that he had hosted and fêted the American diplomat. However, he was quick to state that he had met Little — alleged to have links to the American spy agency CIA — only once. The new war veterans’ leader also admitted to having hosted Little, who has been accused by Zanu PF hardliners of nefariously working with some MPs to infiltrate and weaken the ruling party from within. But Mutsvangwa denied accusations that he had travelled to the US just before the United Nations General Assembly this year, to meet with American State Department officials. Surprisingly, while some MPs have been branded the “Dirty Dozen” because of their alleged association with Little, Mutsvangwa said he had no apologies to offer to anyone for hosting the much-talked about diplomat since his Foreign Affairs portfolio entailed meeting and entertaining diplomats accredited to Zimbabwe.
