By Paul Nyathi|The ever ready to talk Government second in charge spokesperson Energy Mutodi has rushed to give a statement that Minister of Youth, Arts and Sports Kirty Coventry has not resigned from the ministry despite reports which circulated social media.

From late Wednesday social media users circulated a message saying: Kirsty Coventry, Zimbabwe Sports Minister and Multi Olympic Gold ,Silver and Bronze Swimming Medalist has resigned from her role as Sports Minister with immediate effect.

“I dont want blood on my hands and earn blood money”she was purported to have said.

However the Deputy minister of Media, Information and Broadcasting Services Energy Mutodi rushed to rubbish the rumors.

“The Honorable Minister of Youths, Arts and Sports and famous Olympian Champion Kirsty Coventry has not resigned from the government of President Mnangagwa. Social media news on her resignation are false.”

The rumour of Coventry’s resignation started when she edited her Twitter bio removing the description minister of Youth and called it her personal page.

Coventry is currently in Switzerland where she is attending an International Olympics Committee event and has already communicated with close friends that the rumour on her resignation is untrue.
