The ruling Zanu PF chief whip, Pupurai Togarepi has responded to the Economic Freedom Fighters leader Julius Malema who last week issued a statement condemning corruption related to the covid-19 procurements in Zimbabwe.<\/p>\n

In a statement Togarepi said: \u201cThe whole world is groaning under the weight of Covid-19, our President H.E Emmerson Mnangagwa has made it clear that the primary goal is to save lives Malema has no moral ground to lecture to Zimbabwe on how it can handle the Covid-19 pandemic, while he raises pertinent issues around corruption and possible misuse of donations, he is, in this instance a puppet of the country\u2019s detractors masquerading as journalists yet they are vigilante groups who are trying to use the cover of Covid-19 to remove a constitutionally elected government.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will forgive Malema for he is a dancing puppet in a show of puppetry by former G40 functionaries, like Saviour Kasukuwere. Yes we also know that there is a relationship between Kasukuwere and Malema but that should not make him hallucinate and prescribe views on how Zimbabwe can solve it\u2019s problems.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe president has unequivocally spoken against corruption and we don\u2019t want foreigners to offer prescriptive views on us. No nada, please Mr Malema, focus on challenges in your EEF and your country in general before you look at the spec in the eye of a brother.\u201d \u2013 Zimmorning Post<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
