In a terse message dismissing a parody social media account
in his name, Ambassador Chris Mutsvangwa said G40 elements, peeved by progress
being made by the Second Republic through its resoundingly successful
engagement and the re-engagement have now taken to phantom Twitter accounts in
what can only be described as acts of cowardice and desperation.
Ambassador Mutsvangwa said all fingers were pointing to
Jonathan Moyo.
“Jonathan Moyo is bereft of both attention and readership
on his social media account. Addicted to limelight, he then clones my name and
imposits. It is a despicable act of cowardice and irrelevance for a G40 pundit
whose lifelong desire for apex power in Zimbabwe fell to a thundering thud in
November 2017, Operation Restore Legacy.
“Now EDM, their nemesis will likely fly to London soon. The
three decade jinx in diplomatic relations between Harare and London is set to
break so as to usher a new epoch of bonhomie.
“Wither Jonathan Moyo in this hour when the Taliban is back
in Kabul. Fawning acolytes of misguided imperial perfidy are leaking the wounds
of unrewarding treachery against own people and home country. Lonely and
hopeless exile has exacted its painful price,” said Ambassador Mutsvangwa.
Ambassador Mutsvangwa has been a victim of falsehoods from
a parody account in his name, despite not having an account on Twitter.
At one point the phantom accounts in his name called for
dialogue between the revolutionary party Zanu PF and the MDC Alliance,
something that he never said.
While last year messages were sent on a fake Twitter
account purported to be his, which he denied saying he suspected Moyo to be
behind it.
Ambassador Mutsvangwa’s name has been registered on no less
than five accounts while other leaders of the ruling party have also had fake
accounts created in their names.
Under Twitter’s Impersonation Rules a person that pose as
another person, brand, or organisation in a confusing or deceptive manner may
be permanently suspended, but fake account holders usually get away with their
crimes by opening multiple accounts. Herald
