REVERED playwright and actor Aaron Chiundura-Moyo reckons people should not believe everything which comes on social media regarding Coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic.

The affable Shona writer, who is holed up at his Glen View residence, said the 21-day lockdown has made him a social media fan.

Chiundura-Moyo has however said he views and reads most stories which comes from social media with a critical mind.

“I have been following social media a lot but some of the stories you hear are not true at all,” he said.

Moyo said while social media was the in-thing, he said it could be misleading especially where there is a crisis.

“At the moment, there is this global pandemic – Covid-19 – which has claimed many lives.

“In Zimbabwe, it has claimed one person but stories being circulated on social media paint a bad picture of a nation in real crisis.

“As such, we urge people not to believe everything they hear and read on social media.

“If we closely assess our situation, I can safely say we are safe in Zimbabwe and we only need to take precautions,” he said.
