By Jane Mlambo| The ruling Zanu PF has accused G40 members of stifling national development through their use of social media to attack President Emmerson Mnangagwa.

Addressing journalists following the party politburo meeting held on Wednesday, acting spokesperson Patrick Chinamasa said Mnangagwa himself spoke of the G40 machinations against his administration.

“His Excellency (Mnangagwa) told the Politburo meeting that social media is awash with the clandestine machinations of the G40 and their sympathisers,” said Chinamasa.

“They are using social media to make an orchestrated launch, and an onslaught against our country and party,” he added.

“But they will not get anywhere and the people will get to know that they are there to disrupt our orderly development,” Chinamasa said.
