Political Reporter-The Financial Gazette has issued yet another mistake in their apology for a recent typo that appeared in an advert congratulating President Emmerson Mnangagwa on his 82nd birthday.

The original blunder, published on Thursday, mistakenly included the phrase “MAY HIS SOUL REST IN ETERNAL PEACE,” leading to public embarrassment.

In their apology, the paper made an additional error, misspelling the Ndebele word “AMHLOPHE,” which means“congratulations,” as “AMHLOPE.”

The advertisement was placed by the Ministry of Defence and prepared by the Army’s communications department. 

Following the initial mistake, sources at Defence House revealed to ZimEye on Thursday that a witch hunt is underway within the communications department to investigate whether the error was an intentional act of sabotage.

The Financial Gazette’s sister paper, the Daily News, later issued a statement acknowledging their negligence, saying,“We slept on duty.”
