Political Reporter-The Financial Gazzet has dropped an embarrassing typo in an advert congratulating President Emmerson Mnangagwa on his 82nd birthday, which the weekly published Thursday.

The advert came from the Ministry of Defence and was prepared by the Army’s communications department. It included the phrase, “MAY HIS SOUL REST IN ETERNAL PEACE” on it.

Sources at Defence House told ZimEye Thursday that there was a witch hunt within the communications department to trace what some believe may have been an act of sabotage.

In a statement, Financial Gazzet’s sister publication, The Daily News, said they slept on duty.
