Mnangagwa is age-cheating- says Jonathan Moyo

Exiled former cabinet minister Jonathan Moyo says President Emmerson Mnangagwa is not telling the truth about his real age, probably not to appear as too old.

Moyo maintains that Mnangagwa is downplaying his real age (turning 83 next month), what could be termed age cheating were it in sports.

“HOW OLD IS EMMERSON MNANGAGWA? Some who were with him in Zambia, and were born in September 1938, say they used to have joint birthday parties with him.

In the 1980s/90s, press reports said he was born in Sept 1942.

“Now he says he was born in 1946.

“Truth is he’s turning 83 next month!,” Says Moyo.

Moyo says Mnangagwa was same age with late ZANLA Commander, Josiah Tongogara who was born in 1938.

“AS MEMBERS OF THE ZANU Branch in Lusaka in Zambia & although born on different dates in 1938, three persons used to hold an annual joint party to celebrate having been born in the same year, as boys of 1938, and these are Josiah Tongogara, Jonathan Mandaza and Emmerson Mnangagwa!,” says Moyo.
