Like probably everybody else, President Emmerson Mnangagwa has probably had enough of Deputy Information minister Energy Mutodi and has decided to fire him.<\/p>\n

In a statement late Wednesday, Regis Chikowore, the permanent secretary for presidential communications, announced Mutodi\u2019s axing, which is with immediate effect.<\/p>\n

It is not clear what eventually broke the camel\u2019s back, but Mutodi, prone to outlandish claims, claimed that Information minister, Monica Mutsvangwa and her husband, Christopher, had captured the Information ministry and were using it to fight him .<\/p>\n

He was also at loggerheads with Foreign Affairs minister Sibusiso Moyo, following Mutodi\u2019s attack on Tanzania President John Magufuli\u2019s handling of the coronavirus outbreak in that country.<\/p>\n

Mutodi was censured publicly, but retorted that his life was in danger, with Moyo and Christopher being the main culprits threatening his life.<\/p>\n

Mutodi has in the past had a knack for bizarre claims, clashing several times with Mutsvangwa and Nick Mangwana, the permanent secretary in the Information ministry.<\/p>\n

He has also clashed with Alpha Media Holdings, the publishers of NewsDay, the Zimbabwe Independent and the Standard.<\/p>\n

But before now, Mnangagwa has been hesitant to pull the trigger on one of the people who supported him publicly when he was Vice President, culminating in the \u201cI\u2019m the boss\u201d mug saga.<\/p>\n

Before his unceremonious exit, Mutodi took to Twitter for one of his most eccentric tweets ever.<\/p>\n

Mamombe, Marova and Chimbiri were allegedly abducted by state agents and tortured after a demonstration in Harare.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
