Vice-President Emmerson Mnangagwa should not fold his hands and allow 'junior' politician Higher Education minister Jonathan Moyo to belittle him, war veterans have said.
They said Mnangagwa must tackle Moyo head-on.
Moyo has been having a field day on social media attacking Mnangagwa primarily on succession race.
According to reports, Zimbabwe National Liberation War Veterans' Association secretary-general, Victor Matemadanda said Mnangagwa should get rid of his quite diplomacy and bring Moyo to book.
"He [Mnangagwa] says he will only speak when the President [Robert Mugabe] says speak, but I think he can't allow this to continue.
"He has to censure Moyo, who is his junior in the party, to stop this abuse. Mnangagwa has to speak out and shut him up," he is quoted saying by NewsDay.
"Moyo is being cheered on as he attacks the revolution and it appears as if he is being sent to continue attacking Mnangagwa and nothing happens to him. If President Mugabe wants to stop this madness, surely he can because he can't just say by word of mouth stop abusing Twitter and not take action".
However, according to reports, Mnangagwa's aides he was unlikely to change his approach.
Years ago, Mnangagwa described himself as being 'soft as wool'.
