Jealousy Mawarire, spokesperson for former President Robert Mugabe has questioned the source of funds that Mnangagwa’s son Emmerson Jnr used to hire three helicopters  to assist in the wake of Cyclone Idai. Said Mawarire, “While donations are welcome, we also need to investigate the source of income. Where did this young man, whose peers  are unemployed, get the money to hire the helicopters.”

“We have heard clamours for lifestyle audits on church leaders on account of alleged profligacy, isn’t there a case for children of public officials, especially where there are accusations that some have turned themselves into the Zimbabwe Investment Authority (ZIA), for such audits as well?”

Human Rights lawyer Dr Pedzisayi Ruhanya said, “What business is Emerson Jnr the son of ED into? It’s a simple question. Don’t be angry. Tell the public so they know!”
