A Zanu PF legislator Ziyambi Ziyambi has suggested that people who tie the national flag around their necks are disrespecting it.
Ziyambi posed the suggestion that fingers President Robert Mugabe in parliament.
"My point of order is that there are two Honorable members on the opposite side who have put the national flag around their necks.
"Is this what is now permitted in this house to wear flags around the necks and shoulders or they are trying to belittle this country," he asked.
That prompted speaker of Parliament Jacob Mudenda to also issue a vague response.
"Honorable members this is a Zimbabwe flag, just put it down.
"Just place it down. I said place the Zimbabwe flag down.
"We have to treat it with some respect".
Political commentator Alex Magaisa twitted saying "Speaker Mudenda thinks MPs wearing #ThisFlag around the neck belittles the country. Surely, Pres Mugabe can't agree?".
Mugabe has been pictured on countless occasions over the wears with the flag around his neck.
