By Jane Mlambo| Vice President Constantino Chiwenga who returned home from China where he had gone for medical check-up did not go into self isolation as recommended by President Emmerson Mnangagwa, in another show of policy inconsistencies plaguing the new dispensation.

Instead, Chiwenga has since assumed the chairmanship of the COVID-19 Cabinet taskforce exposing other government officials to potential coronavirus infection.

Government has ordered all citizens returning home from abroad to go into self isolation to reduce further spread of the virus.

Mnangagwa himself who visited Namibia for the inauguration of that country’s president did not go into self isolation despite the fact that his Botswana counterpart Masisi followed the WHO recommended procedures.

A Twitter user by the name vaMagumbo said it was wrong for Chiwenga to head straight to the Covid-19 taskforce without taking precautionary measures of self isolation.

“Chiwenga comes home from CHINA, doesn’t self isolate but instead heads up the Covid-19 taskforce which is supposed to ensure ppl do things like self isolate. The thing he didn’t do.”
