Farai Dziva|Controversial Deputy Information Minister Energy Mutodi has said Emmerson Mnangagwa was joking when he urged Zimbabweans to stop eating meat.

Mutodi made the remarks during an interview with NewsDay on Monday.

“The President is first and foremost a citizen who can communicate anything with fellow citizens, including cracking jokes with Zimbabweans.

Chamisa is the one with a lot to apologise to Zimbabweans for calling for sanctions, disputing election results where he was clearly defeated and even giving false hope to his supporters,” said Mutodi.
