Jonathan Moyo laughs off suggestions he could be disciplined

HIGHER and Tertiary Education minister Jonathan Moyo has laughed off suggestions he could be dragged before a Zanu-PF disciplinary committee for his continued "abuse of social media" to attack fellow party members.

Moyo on Thursday insisted he only uses social media to defend President Robert Mugabe, despite claims he may have stepped on a number of people's toes in doing so, including Vice-President Emmerson Mnangagwa.

This was after national party chairman Simon Khaya Moyo told NewsDay on Wednesday that the former Information minister would soon be brought to a disciplinary hearing over his defiance of party orders.

"It's one thing to use social media to defend the President, party and country, and another to use it to attack anyone," he said.

Asked if he would be deleting his Twitter account ahead of the impending disciplinary hearing, Moyo emphatically retorted "hell no".

Khaya Moyo could not be reached for comment over Moyo's defiance.

Mugabe recently ordered party officials to refrain from attacking each other on social media platforms.
