Farai Dziva|ZANU PF Central Committee member and Chimanimani East MP, Joshua Sacco has been accused of lying to the nation about Cyclone Idai rescue efforts.

Sacco was berated by villagers in his constituency for lying to the nation on the situation in the district after Cyclone Idai hit the area.

As he accompanied Emmerson Mnangagwa and Constantino Chiwenga to areas affected by Cyclone Idai, Sacco was roundly booed by angry villagers.

“I was not happy when Sacco was on air claiming that our children had been rescued while we were still marooned and desperately looking for rescue assistance at the school. I received communication that Sacco had actually lied on air.

We were struggling and desperately waiting to be rescued at the school, but according was busy lying to the world in the comfort of his home,” fumed one teacher.
