Higher and Tertiary Education, Science and Technology Development Minister Professor Jonathan Moyo, has rubbished claims by the presidential spokesperson, about the former being a successionist.
In a radio interview with ZiFM and SFM at State on Wednesday, President Robert Mugabe’s Spokesperson, George Charamba pounced Professor Moyo saying that he is using unscrupulous means to ascend to the Presidential post.
“Here are little men with absolutely no iota of history behind them thinking they can one day emerge as leaders of this country with their little minds thinking baldness is age, it isn’t,” reported The Herald.
In a direct attack that was aimed at Minister Moyo, Charamba said “….One tragedy of those little fellas, and I call them littler fellas, they confuse media skills with social skills. They think they can scale up a political ladder by tweeting…..”
Directly responding to Charamba’s claptrap, Moyo through his Twitter page tweeted the embedded tweets below.
There’s a silly Shakespearean wordsmith who thinks politics is about clever words & who sees himself as the system when he’s a factionalist!

1/3 George Charamba’s media voices are no longer of a civil servant but of a politician in aid of a desperate faction. That’s unacceptable!

2/3 Zanu PF had 2 factions. Mujuru’s faction was expelled in 2014 & now exits in the media as PF. Thus only one faction remains the problem!

3/3 Some of us with hard lessons on the 2004 tragedy of factions resisted the Mujuru faction not for the other faction but for Pres Mugabe!

As we implement President Mugabe’s policy program on STEM, as our mandate, a spokesman of successionists is throwing spanners in the works!

George Charamba must not abuse his civil servant role as Info Perm Sec to serve successionists.That will be resisted as it was in 2014!

3/4: Hard to imagine which idiot Charamba seeks to convince or impress by passing on a croc lie to link us with PF! https://t.co/LbqkI5BbEp

4/4: ZanuPF elected Cde Mugabe at 2014 Congress as President & its 2018 Candidate. Next Congress is 2019. Imminent croc takeover is hogwash!
