The Robert Mugabe aligned New Patriotic Front party, makes a report that it has got grassroots rural support. The report says the villagers are making a diamond for the 94 year old former head of state . Below is a tweet released on Sunday to the effect:

Don’t let the Junta lie to you, the real cadres, comrades and ordinary folks who have walked with ZanuPF are with the NPF and President Mutinhiri.
They will not endorse or legitimise a Junta that has openly humiliated their icon and hero Cde R G Mugabe. #HandeiTione pic.twitter.com/hoB4x94UIX
