Own Correspondent | Former minister and Zanu PF politburo member, Professor Jonathan Moyo, has publicly thrown away his ZANU PF membership card into the trash.

The exiled academic, who spends long hours on social media, dedicated to attacking the person of ZANU PF leader, Emmerson Mnangagwa, went public in a dramatic act this afternoon, declaring, “This is an emphatic message that it’s finally over. There’s no going back. It’s time to move on. ZanuPF is Zimbabwe’s number [one] existential threat. Association with it is toxic, by definition!”

“I kept hoping that ZanuPF was reformable until the 15 November military coup that gave me a rude awakening!”

Curiously though, the card Moyo publicly trashed is an old ZANU PF one with the late former President Robert Mugabe’s face on it, a suiting souvenir, given the support the exiled academic received from him when he fled the country in 2017.

It was not clear what triggered this public ritual of cutting soul ties, with a party Zanu PF, just two years ago, he was ready to die even kill for.

Moyo is also rumoured to be among Advocate Nelson Chamisa’s close team of advisors, though he told a Twitter user yesterday, that he is not a member of the MDC, but supports that Chamisa won the 2018 Presidential election.
