The mud-slinging between Zanu-PF Copac co-chairperson Munyaradzi Paul Mangwana and fellow party politburo member Jonathan Moyo took another nasty turn Friday after the former described Moyo as "a little man" bent on misleading the public through his misinformed newspaper articles on the constitution-making process.
Mangwana and Moyo have been involved in verbal exchanges which analysts have described as indicative of the deep divisions in Zanu PF.
Moyo, a Zanu-PF politburo member and Tsholotsho North MP, has of late been calling on the disbandment of the Copac-driven constitution-making process, claiming it had lost its relevance. Moyo recently described the constitution-making body as "the Copac mafia".
"He (Moyo) is an individual and he can't put pressure on a mass like me," said Mangwana.
"I am a very big man and little Jonathan can't do anything to me. It's his democratic right to air his views."
He is an academic, a member of the politburo, an analyst all rolled into one, so people should understand in which capacity he will be writing his articles." Copac spokesperson Jessie Majome said Moyo's criticism of the current constitution-making process was bent on misinforming the public.
