PRESIDENT Emmerson Mnangagwa’s scarf caused a storm in the
National Assembly yesterday after Mutasa Central MP Trevor Saruwaka (MDC
Alliance) questioned why he (ED) was allowed to put on the regalia in
Parliament yet opposition legislators were barred from putting on clothing with
national flag colours.
MDC legislators, including Saruwaka, used to put on
national colours to protest the political and economic crisis in the country.
Saruwaka had a jacket in Zimbabwe’s flag colours, but each
time he put it on, Speaker of the National Assembly, Jacob Mudenda would eject
him from the House.
Mudenda then made a ruling banning the wearing of scarfs
and jackets in national colours in the House.
Mudenda yesterday defended Mnangagwa’s scarf, saying “it is
the President’s trademark”. Newsday
