Farai Dziva|Respected analyst Dr Pedzisai Ruhanya has pointed out that Emmerson Mnangagwa is using the current lockdown to close democratic space in country, gaining political ground in the process.

According to Ruhanya, Mnangagwa is using the lockdown to outfox his political rivals.

“They are using a disease, a world pandemic to lockdown democracy in Zimbabwe.

They think it’s a political strategy but it’s the uncivilized misrule that exposes Mnangagwa’s regime as authoritarian and allergic to reform.

Lies about new dispensation are unraveling,” argued Ruhanya.
