By Own Correspondent| Former cabinet minister Professor Jonathan Moyo has hinted that State owned Herald has fired two of its senior editors advising the duo to challenge their expulsion in court.
Wrote Professor Moyo:
“Is it real that Caesar Zvayi and Mabasa Sasa have been fired? If i were them, I would go to court on two grounds:
1. The minister and ministry have no legal standing at Zimpapers.
2. The Zimpapers board is illegal as it was illegally appointed by the minister and not by the Zimbabwe Mass Media Trust.
Is it re: @caesarzvayi & @MabasaSasa being fired? If I were them I would go to court on two grounds:
1. The Minister/Ministry have no legal standing at @Zimpapers.
2. The @Zimpapers board is illegal as it was illegally appointed by a Minister; not by Zimbabwe Mass Media Trust! https://t.co/fSDQbKu6ac

Deputy minister in the Information ministry, Energy Mutodi said those fighting Zvayi had bad intentions for the Zimpapers stable and the President, Emmerson Mnangagwa.
Said Mutodi:
“Those fighting Zvayi at Zimpapers are not for the good of the Herald. Not for the good of ED government. We stand for meritocracy and not grudges, nepotism and proxy leadership.”
