By Alvina Chibhamu| Mnangagwa shouldn’t be so casual about the Coronavirus. I have seen videos of the man cracking very bad ‘jokes’ about the Coronavirus and much else. His supporters say he has a dry and dark sense of humour but I don’t buy that. Mnangagwa is in all sense of the words ‘a dry and dark person’ and so when he makes dry and dark statements dressing them up as jokes, he is simply showing us that he is still a psychopath.  

Those who work in mental health will know that some of the psychopathic murderers in those forensic units will crack a joke about their index crime but clinicians who know this M.O do not take it likely – statements like that show that the person is unrepentant, very much still sick in the head and a danger to society.

Anyway, Mnangagwa shouldn’t be so casual about the Coronavirus. He is at least 77 years old and his cabinet is full of elderly people like himself. The World Health Organisation has said that the elderly and those with underlying health conditions are at an enhanced risk of the virus.

Not only that, but a lot has been written about the polypharmacy and chronic health conditions of members of this Zanu regime, and this virus could clear them out quicker than the ZNA dispersed  protestors in August 2018. Since 1980, the Zanu politburo who had to step down were having a losing battle with illnesses.

In other words, Zanu leaders are more likely to step down often all the way down into the ground not because of a general election but if someone coughs in their direction in 2020. Mnangagwa shouldn’t be so casual about the Coronavirus, his party does badly against diseases.
