HARARE - Presidential Affairs minister Didymus Mutasa says he was not responsible for Headlands boy Christpower Maisiri’s death, his lawyers said on Monday.

While the Daily News, among other local and international media organisations, has reported on the tragedy, the paper has never sought to assert that the Zanu PF secretary for administration had a hand in the 12-year-old’s death.

Instead, remarks allegedly linking Mutasa to the Manicaland incident and violence were fully attributed to the boy’s mother and other government officials, including Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai, and his Movement for Democratic Change secretary-general Tendai Biti. - Staff Writer
