President Robert Mugabe has again warned Zanu PF members who use social media to settle internal party squabbles.
Mugabe said issues should not be solved through Twitter and Facebook.
Higher Education minister Jonathan Moyo has been accused of taking potshots at some top officials using his Twitter account, with vice President Emmerson Mnangagwa largely being seen as his target, forcing his rivals to demand his censure by the ruling party's national disciplinary committee.
"There is a new culture of indiscipline in the party. When you join the party there are rules to be adhered to and ways to be followed" said Mugabe during his televised key address in Masvingo.
"We do not address our grievances through twitter, Facebook etc…it is done by senior members, not juniors.
"Some quarrels, we do not even know them…we see them in papers…let us not be used to feed the private papers,that has made them survive.
"You cannot dictate what happens in the party. No one person should stand up and say do this or that.
"When you are a member of the party, when you join the party,you are mature enough to know that there are rules to be obeyed".
