Confused underfire Information Minister Monica Mutsvangwa says President Emmerson Mnangagwa is failing to run the country because of opposition MDC Alliance leader Nelson Chamisa is “pouring sand” into his administration.

In a post cabinet media briefing on Tuesday, Mutsvangwa said that problems being experienced by the country emanated from post-2018 election vows by Chamisa that Mnangagwa would not find sleep in his rule.

“We all know that after the 2018 elections, the opposition MDC Alliance spoke about pouring sand (hamutongi tichadira jecha) on Mnangagwa’s reign and this is a public message.

“They have not stopped.”

Mutsvangwa also accused the western world for imposing sanctions on Zimbabwe based on lies.

“Some countries have imposed illegal sanctions on Zimbabwe. These have caused divisions among families. They have stage-managed abduction stories. There is an enemy in Zimbabwe,” she said.
