Vice President Emmerson Mnangagwa yesterday strongly castigated elements that pretend to be Zanu-PF when at heart they are not, saying they were free to leave the revolutionary party. Addressing hordes of Zanu-PF supporters at Muchakata Business Centre in Chiwundura ahead of the by-election on Saturday, VP Mnangagwa described such people as “possessed” with the “biblical Legion” demon.
He urged Zanu-PF supporters to be wary of people bent on sabotaging and destabilising the revolutionary party.
“Our people should respect each other,” said VP Mnangagwa. “However, kune vamwe vanopindwa nemweya waLegion wemuBible. Vanhu vakadero vanofanirwa kubuda muZanu-PF (Such people must leave Zanu PF).
“Not all who call Jesus’ name are Christians. Same applies to Zanu-PF, not all who say we are Zanu-PF are Zanu-PF. Some of them are not Zanu-PF. Pane vanoti isai bhora musango, muvachenjerere ivavo nekuti vane mweya yakaipa, mweya yaLegion,” said Mnangagwa in a veiled reference to Jonathan Moyo. state media
