Two outspoken social media personalities, popularly known as Nyokayemabhunu and Chimhamha, have been unmasked as key propagandists for the vanquished G40 faction, working to undermine the Government and tarnish the image of President Emmerson Mnangagwa, a reliable source has revealed.

The duo, identified as Jeremiah Masiiwa (Nyokayemabhunu) and Thabeth Makombe (Chimhamha), were allegedly active members of the G40 cabal and are now reportedly on exiled politician Saviour Kasukuwere’s payroll, pushing anti-Government rhetoric from their bases in South Africa.

According to a well-placed source who spoke to this publication, Makombe and Masiiwa have been instrumental in disseminating G40 propaganda, attacking Government policies, and attempting to discredit President Mnangagwa’s administration.

"These two are not activists or genuine critics—they are paid mouthpieces of a defeated faction. Makombe shifts between Durban and Pretoria, while Masiiwa is currently hiding in Cape Town. They receive stipends from Kasukuwere’s network to spread lies and destabilise Zimbabwe’s political environment,” said the source.

The source further revealed that both individuals have controversial personal histories that make them susceptible to manipulation.

"Thabeth Makombe was once married to former ZANU PF official Killer Zivhu, but he divorced her over allegations of infidelity and uncontrollable anger. As for Masiiwa, he was once a ZANU PF member but is now drowning in poverty, making him an easy target for political exploitation. He will say anything for money," the source added.

Investigations indicate that Makombe and Masiiwa maintain strong ties with expelled ZANU PF members Godwin Gomwe and Jim Kunaka, both linked to the G40 faction. The source dismissed the duo as political lightweights, stating, "Outside social media, these are nobodies—just ordinary Zimbabweans with no real influence. Their only relevance comes from being paid to attack the Government. In reality, they are irrelevant and should not be taken seriously."

Authorities have repeatedly warned against cyber-based smear campaigns orchestrated by exiled opposition figures.

The exposure of Makombe and Masiiwa raises questions about the extent of foreign-funded efforts to manipulate Zimbabwean public opinion.

For now, the spotlight remains on two social media agitators whose loyalty, it appears, is for sale to the highest bidder.
