ZANU PF Spokesperson Christopher Mutsvangwa has welcomed self-exiled former Ministers, Professor Jonathan Moyo and Patrick Zhuwawo’s apology to both the President Dr Emmerson Mnangagwa and ruling party.
Responding to the duo’s apology through a written statement, Mutsvangwa said the apology by the duo was a most welcome development which also endorses the sincere and visionary policies and programmes espoused by President Mnangagwa.
“This is the most welcome development. I salute the courage and candour coming from the two as penned in their joint letter. This is an endorsement of the sincere and visionary policies and programmes espoused by President ED Mnangagwa, our ZANU PF Party leader,” said Mutsvangwa.
According to Mutsvangwa, the courage gathered by the two former Ministers is an indication that President Mnangagwa is a unifier.
In their letter of apology to ZANU PF written on 15 November 2022, Prof Moyo and Zhuwawo expressed regret over their association with the hash tag ‘ZANU PF Must Go’ (#ZanuPFMustGo), in public messaging and communication.
“Whereas as we stopped using the hashtag and disassociated ourselves from it quite some time back, it is our considered judgement that we owe you a long overdue apology for having used the hashtag and for having associated ourselves with it, in the first place.
“Accordingly, and on this day of 15 November 2022, we hereby apologise to all of you Comrades most sincerely and with profound regret for our wrong use of –and ill-advised association with –the hashtag ‘Zanu PF Must Go’ (#ZanuPFMustGo),” wrote Moyo and Zhuwawo.
The apology by Moyo and Zhuwawo is one of the many apologies that the ruling party has received. Other senior ZANU PF members who have since apologised include former ZANU PF Secretary for Administration, Didymus Mutasa and former Mashonaland East provincial Minister Ambrose Mutinhiri.
Meanwhile, ZANU PF National Political Commissar, Dr Mike Bimha has since announced that the ruling party is now at an advanced stage of creating a register of political returnees as the party is receiving an overwhelming number of people who want to re-join their party.
