Former cabinet minister Walter Mzembi has Slammed President Emmerson Mnangagwa for flying to Mozambique saying the same journey late former liberation war leaders Robert Mugabe and Edgar Tekere walked did not require him to hire an expensive jet from Dubai.

Mzembi added that Mnangagwa himself crossed into Mozambique on foot when he was running away from Mugabe before the November 2017 coup.

“If it is true that Mugabe & Tekere walked to Mozambique, and liberation fighters did the same & in 2017 @edmnangagwa escaped by car , and Ian Smith would despatch helicopters there , why do we need to charter an aeroplane from Dubai for the same?,” wrote Mzembi on Twitter.

Mnangagwa sneaked out of the country to Mozambique for yet tone known reasons but is related to his SADC role as the chairperson of the troika on politics and defence.
