MDC Alliance Vice President Professor Welshman Ncube has expressed shock at the way government responded to the Catholic Bishops Conference call for a better life for Zimbabweans.

In Tweet on Sunday,  Professor Ncube said no goverment in this day and age can ever be expected to speak the way Information Minister Monica Mutsvangwa spoke in an official government statement on Saturday.

Below is professor Ncube’s tweet.

I have read & reread the government of Zimbabwe's response to the Catholic Bishops' pastoral letter & remain beyond shock that there is a government on earth in the 21st century that can release this kind of hurtful drivel as an official government statement. God help us!
