2/24 The point by @glenmpani was that Zimbabweans seeking change:*Want out/can't join ZanuPF.*Find MDC Chamisa disorganized, intolerant, immature & unstrategic.*Think it's suicidal to be independent or to form a party.I agreed with him as per this👇🏿!https://t.co/e8vu3Cphzh pic.twitter.com/TROCj6ls1t — Prof Jonathan Moyo (@ProfJNMoyo) September 7, 2021

3/24 ALAS, @glenmpani's tweet & my rejoinder torched a storm, with a torrent of abuse from some MDC-A rank and file. The worst for me was an MDC-A leader who angrily told a mutual colleague that I should have shared my rejoinder with him before tweeting it. No academic does that!— Prof Jonathan Moyo (@ProfJNMoyo) September 7, 2021

4/24 THE INTOLERANT and abusive response showed that both @glenmpani's intervention and my rejoinder had been badly misunderstood by our friends. In the interest of promoting mutual understanding, I did this 👇🏿thread to share the reasons for our ARGUMENT!https://t.co/avgGS4PIJB— Prof Jonathan Moyo (@ProfJNMoyo) September 7, 2021

5/24 MY SECOND THREAD made a bad situation worse. Our attackers doubled down and multiplied; as Mnangagwa's #varakashi understandably but unfortunately jumped in to like and retweet the attacks to MULTIPLY & AMPLIFY the NOISE from our MDC-A attackers, for maximum negative impact!— Prof Jonathan Moyo (@ProfJNMoyo) September 7, 2021
