By Jonathan Moyo| Self exiled former Higher education minister Professor Jonathan Moyo has slammed President Emmerson Mnangagwa for imposing a lockdown decision without consulting stakeholders saying he failed to correctly copy from his South African counterpart Cyril Ramaphosa.

Posting on Twitter soon after the lockdown announcement, Moyo said Ramaphosa had given South Africa three week days, Mnangagwa had given Zimbabwe a weekend insinuating that nothing much happens during weekends as some companies will be closed.

“While @CyrilRamaphosa gave SA three-weekdays notice after consultations, @edmnangagwa has given Zim the weekend, without consultations & without outlining the objectives of his copy & paste measures which are not about flattening the #coronavirus curve,” said Moyo.

However some Twitter users hit back at Moyo accusing the former Tsholotsho legislator of turning around after pushing government to lockdown only to start opposing a move he vehemently stood for.

“Congratulations prof. Mission accomplished you suckered The president into taking a rushed ill informed decision now you will have your revolt as planned,” said one Twitter user.
