Information Ministry Permanent Secretary Nick Mangwana has sensationally claimed that less people died in Zimbabwe during the Covid-19 period compared to the number who died last year without the Coronavirus scourge.

Mangwana attributed the decline in the number of deaths to President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s Covid-19 restrictions.

It remains a mystery where he got his figures from.

A comparative analysys of number deaths in 2019 compared to 2020, makes it clear the timely interventions taken by President @edmnangagwa, such as declaring a National Disaster when there was not even a single infection and a Lockdown when there were only 7 infections saved lives pic.twitter.com/wiEJ7CUlTc
