Farai Dziva|Emmerson Mnangagwa has received a ” baptism of fire” after attempting to portray himself as Zimbabwe’ s political saviour.

Responding to claims by Mnangagwa that in the second republic, no child should “travel over 5km to school”, Facebook users castigated Mnangagwa for lying to the nation.

Mnangagwa made the remarks in Harare while addressing school children ahead of Independence celebrations tomorrow.

Terence Manonga said:”
He is trying to be a saint yet he has been in government since 1980. This was denied to most children who are now adults since 1980.”

Kudakwashe Karupa commented:”
Asi he means in towns only. Kwedu kumusha we walked more than 10km and nanhasi vari kungofamba and there are plans to build another secondary school nearby.”

Yamukelani Chibaya argued:”
Well said sir. Please wait for the well done. I am monitoring children in Chiredzi rural. ECD A children travel for those 5 kilometers to school. I will clap my hands for the government if I you manage to solve the problem in my home area.”

Smae Ncuncu:”
W are waiting in Matebeleland in rural areas. ”

Mitchell R Chifamba:” In
Mhondoro they walk as far as Mangachena to Neuso School that is about 10km also as far as Gurungwa, 9km away when will these areas be attended?”

Tanya Sawadye:”
They have been in government since 1980 stop the lies. “
