There are social media reports that President Robert Mugabe has responded to the ANC after its Secretary General Gwede Mantashe this week moved to call on the Zimbabwean leader to stop attacking Nelson Mandela's legacy.

Mugabe today described Gwede Mantashe as "stupid", saying the ANC sec gen doesn't want economic freedom.

Mugabe today said Zimbabwe has the right to comment on South Africa because the two countries' "revolutionary objectives" were the same.

Mugabe said the country did not remove the whites from the industry but on land.



Mantashe on Tuesday told the media in Johannesburg that he had lodged a formal complaint in a telephonic conversation with his counterpart in Zanu-PF for Mugabe to stop making "unwarranted and unfortunate attacks" on Mandela.

Mantashe accused Mugabe of destroying his country's economy.

"The reality of the matter is that you have destroyed the economy of your country," Mantashe said during a press conference at the ANC headquarters at Luthuli House.
