Farai Dziva|Cornered Justice Minister Ziyambi Ziyambi was in a tight spot as he desperately attempted to defend Chegutu West MP Dexter Nduna’ s threats to Norton MP Temba Mliswa.

Addressing Senators on Thursday Ziyambi said in Shona you can kill someone with laughter.

Ziyambi was grilled by Senators who demanded to know the form of of action to be taken by government following Nduna’ s utterances.

“The Shona language is rich and
ambiguous, and one can use the
word ‘murder’ (kuwuraya) saying
that you have killed me with
jokes, or that you have killed me
with too much food.

When someone refers to the word
‘murder’ in Shona, it needs to be
qualified what they mean,” claimed Ziyambi yesterday.
