Mangwana apologises to the doctors, Jonathan Moyo takes him on

Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Information Publicity and Broadcasting Services Nick Mangwana has apologized to the medical fraternity for his comments that doctors were killing government and ZANU-PF bigwigs.

Mangwana says his personal views he posted were not meant to offend any doctor, and said would want to withdrew the sentiments.

“I expressed my personal view on an issue a Dr had tweeted on. I had no intention to offend any doctor or call any of them names.

“Since it has caused such offence, I withdraw it & apologise for any offence caused. I just hope we can move and not be distracted from work at hand,” he said.

Meanwhile, exiled former cabinet minister Jonathan Moyo took a dig at him and questioned what divide Mangwana’s personal and official tweets.

Moyo tweeted:

“Are you withdrawing & apologising due to “the offence” caused? 2. Are you withdrawing & apologizing because your “personal view” was false, scandalous & illegal & had a real risk & possibility of causing alarm & despondency? 3. What’s official vs what’s personal on your TL?”

Apparently, a business consultant commended Mangwana for swallowing his pride.

“That’s leadership Nick, we all know you’re not immortal and expect good behaviour from you. There’s a thin line between when you tweet as a personal opinion and when tweet in a public office,” said the consultant identified as Mutual.

ZANU-PF senior official, Puprai Togarepi said:

“I plead with all our people on various social media platforms to focus on uniting our people against the ravaging Corona virus. Allowing division at this juncture is not helpful.

“As a politician I have comrades and opponents but I wish all of them alike to survive Covid-19.”
