HARARE West legislator Joana Mamombe (MDC Alliance) says the Minister of Health and Child Care Obadiah Moyo must be arrested for misleading the nation that Government was ready to handle coronavirus, yet the official mortality so far has been 50% for Zimbabwe, far above the global average of less than 4%.

Zimbabwe has had two confirmed cases of COVID-19 infections, of which the second case, television personality Zororo Makamba, died Monday afternoon at Wilkins Hospital in Harare.

The medical facility is run by the City of Harare, which is controlled by the opposition MDC led by Nelson Chamisa.

Writing on social media, Mamombe called for Moyo to be punished: “The Minister of Health & Childcare, Mr Obadiah Moyo must be arrested for misleading this nation that the government is prepared to deal with Covid-19. He should also resign,” Mamombe fumed.
