'Mawarire a selfie leader and fake preacher,' says Jonathan Moyo

Zanu PF chief propagandist Jonathan Moyo has upped his social media attack on Pastor Evan Mawarire labelling him a fake preacher.

Moyo said Mawarire lacks leadership qualities saying "leadership isn't about selfies!"

"One lesson from the saga of Pastor E's betrayal of his hashtag movement is that leadership isn't about selfies!" wrote Moyo on his official twitter account today.

Mawarire was a little-known man without any political involvement until April, when he spontaneously posted a videotaped lament for the Zimbabwean flag, creating the movement that became known as #ThisFlag.

He made the video at a moment of anger at Zimbabwe's decline, spurred by his inability to pay his children's school fees because of the impoverished economy.

The #ThisFlag leader has now fled to the US after threats from President Robert Mugabe.

Added Moyo "Selfie leaders are about themselves. They can only lead fads of movements of fake democrats & fake Christians!".

"Real social or political movements aren't about selfies but about selfless & enduring values of realpolitik!"
