Farai Dziva|MDC leader Nelson Chamisa has distanced himself from a Twitter account that has given credit to Zanu PF for banning use of foreign currency as legal tender in Zimbabwe.

The MDC president Nelson Chamisa has bemoaned the creation of the fake account in his name.

In a tweet from the account purportedly belonging to Chamisa, the writer celebrated the return of the Zimbabwe Dollar.

“I know this will hurt a lot of my supporters, but it seems the introduction of the Z$ is working. Prices are actually coming down,” reads the tweet.

“Zanu PF has become desperate to the extent of relying on photoshopping for useless propaganda-without addressing macro economic and other fundamentals such as legitimacy question. The Zimdollar is only awaiting an embarrassing loss in value over a short period,” the MDC said in a statement.
