Terrence Mawawa|In a bid to please Zanu PF functionaries, party national chairperson Oppah Muchinguri described MDC A leader Nelson Chamisa as an enemy of the state.

Buoyed by partisan ruling party members at a meeting in Masvingo on Monday, Muchinguri described Chamisa as “the enemy” and added elements sympathetic to the youthful MDC A leader would be severely punished.

“Why do you want to join Chamisa the enemy.He is our enemy and you must always remember that,” said Muchinguri to a thunderous applause from ruling party members.

Social commentator and Sociology graduate Edmore Muchechetere said instead of frothing at the mouth in a desperate bid to denigrate Chamisa, Zanu PF officials official must concentrate on coming up with strategies to revive the dwindling economy.

“We are not concerned about what Chamisa has done or what he has not done, that is not the crux of the political affairs in this country. On the contrary Zanu PF officials are supposed to run around and find ways of healing the sick economy,” said Muchechetere.
