Baba Jukwa fiasco: Jonathan Moyo under fire

One of the journalists accused of running faceless Facebook vigilante account Baba Jukwa, Mxolisi Ncube has taken a swipe and Information Media and Broadcasting Services minister Jonathan Moyo for celebrating a false catch.

Ncube, a South African based Zimbabwe journalist and colleague Mkhululi Chimoio were reportedly exposed by hackers at the weekend as administrators of the Baba Jukwa page that exposed deep Zanu PF secrets.

Both journalists have dismissed the reports and have since launched legal proceedings against news organisation that reported on the matter.

"After all this hullabaloo, my message to Jonathan Moyo, who seems to have gone to town to celebrate his 'catch' is Johno, you seem to still have a fraction of a normal man's brain. Please use that for thinking. Umdala ma ungako. (old as you are.)"

Meanwhile, MDC-T returnee Job Sikhala said Zanu-PF was desperate to shed blood by smearing the two scribes.

"The fist of fury is now desperate to quench it's thirsty for blood by alleging that two young journalists of repute are Baba Jukwa. Touch them and see how some of us human rights defenders will react. Wish - wash evidence purporting to be from some hacking is the evidence they present to its audience," Sikhala said.
