By Paul Nyathi|ZANU PF inclined independent Norton Member of Parliament Temba Mliswa has taken swipe at MDC Alliance leader Nelson saying that the youthful leader needs psychiatric help after the loss to Emmerson Mnangagwa in the July 30 elections.

Speaking to journalists after taking an unprecedented public HIV test in Harare on Tuesday, Mliswa said that the election loss threw the MDC leader into depression which could be healed through psychiatric help.

The relatively talkative former ZANU PF provincial chairman was speaking responding to Chamisa’s indications that his MDC Alliance party was planning his own mock inauguration at the weekend as the People’s President as he continues to dispute Mnangagwa’s controversial victory in the poll.

Mliswa said the planned inauguration was illegal and may lead to Chamisa being arrested.

“What Chamisa is doing is against the law. He is the breaking the law. He can be arrested,” he said.

“What he is planning is a threat to state security. That is the truth of the matter. Let us not get excited.

“I certainly understand when you lose, you go through a phase; a depression period that one goes through. It is not easy. They would need some form of psychiatric attention.

“He needs some help. I do not understand how people who lose an election would want to go further and be sworn in ministers, unless if he is going to swear shadow ministers.

“It is sad. I like Chamisa. He is a fine young man. But the more he talks, the more problems he causes to himself.”
