Vice President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s Zanu PF faction, Team Lacoste, has blocked Grace Mugabe’s G-40 from being interviewed on its national private radio station ZiFM Sterio.
The two factions are fiercely fighting to succeed President Robert Mugabe.
On Monday Zanu PF legislator for Highfield West who is also a member of the G-40, Psychology Maziwisa, was scheduled to debate with MDC-T spokesperson Obert Gutu on ZiFM at 19.30hrs.
The radio station is owned by Information Communication Technology and Courier Services Minister and Zanu PF MP for Nyanga South, Supa Mandiwanzira who belongs to the Mnangagwa faction.
The Maziwisa–Gutu radio debate was cancelled on the 11th hour for unexplained reasons when the latter was on his way to the national private radio station.
On his Facebook page MDC-T spokerson Obert Gutu said he was informed by the radio station that Maziwisa was blocked by Zanu PF spokesperson Simon Khaya Moyo from attending the interview.
“ZiFM Stereo has just phoned me a few minutes ago saying that the Platform program that was scheduled to be aired LIVE on air tonight @ 19.30 hours has been cancelled because Psychology Maziwisa, who was supposed to speak on behalf of Zanu PF during the radio debate, has been ordered not to come for the interview by S.K.Moyo, the Zanu PF spokesperson”, said Gutu.
He continued exclaiming that “Zvakaoma – It is hard!”.

I wonder as to whether it had anything to do with Lacoste….In my opinion the worry was associated with a bigger risk of ZANU being humiliated and exposed during a live debate … and possibly giving MDC an opportunity to shine. Vana Maziwisa vajaira kuita madebates vega…where there will be no opposing voices hence they have low emotional intelligence, EI.
