Terrence Mawawa| A senior Zanu PF official has angrily responded to remarks made by former MDC A MP for Gutu Central Constituency about Cyril Ramaphosa’ s untimely call for the removal of sanctions.

Last week Chirume described Ramaphosa’ s utterances as “ill-advised” and unfortunate given the refusal by Harare authorities to embrace constitutionalism.

Labour and Social Services Deputy Minister Lovemore Matuke was quick to accuse Chirume of being influenced by his handlers to fight for a lost cause.

“1.Always say less than necessary. 2. Never commit to anyone’s cause. It is only a fool who rushes to take sides. 3. Be careful. Do not offend the wrong person 4. Conceal your intentions…” wrote Matuke on social media.

However Chirume said:”The subject under the spotlight is not about individuals, rather it is about constitutionalism

What is Parliament doing to restore constitutionalism?

I will not be moved by empty threats, I even trounced the man(Matuke) in the Gutu Central Constituency Parliamentary election in 2008 when I was a political novice.I guess the man still has an axe to grind with me.”
