*(🌕) CURRENT AFFAIRS || You, Cde M Chinomona, are an ultimate embarrassment to Zimbabwe, including ZANUPF - Hopewell Chin'ono*

How can the President of the Senate of an entire country involve herself in a radio station’s fun poll about Person of the Year while more than 2,500 women are dying during childbirth, the biggest hospital has only one maternity theatre, the whole country has no single working radiotherapy cancer treatment machine, unemployment stands at over 90 per cent, citizens receive only two to four hours of electricity per day, and the country is facing an open succession war.
You are determined to embarrass not only the country but also your boss and the President by publicly fighting over a radio station poll. This is political and media illiteracy of the highest order.
ZIFM is a youth radio station. Its audience is largely young and unemployed people. It is therefore natural that its listeners would relate to and support Fadzayi Mahere, a young lawyer they see as speaking to their lived realities and struggles.
Have some shame, Madam, and focus on statecraft, not radio polls. For the President of a country’s Senate to threaten a radio presenter with persecution over a light-hearted poll is a new low for Zimbabwe.
It reflects a complete lack of emotional intelligence, a deep misunderstanding of media and youth culture, and political bankruptcy. Shame on you.
For the avoidance of doubt, I had not seen your tweet. A regional foreign affairs minister asked me what is going on. Stop this childish four year old behaviour. You have sunk from the gutter into the sewer. You are internationalising your lack of common sense and embarrassing yourself on a global stage.
A whole ruling party getting hot under the collar over a fun radio poll? Shame on you.
To quote Fadzayi Mahere, Zimbabwe needs new and mature leaders, not skunks like you, ma’am.
