Zanu PF spin doctor, Jonathan Moyo has been ordered to abandon his shallow twitter debate about a "mug' and a "boss".

 Instead, Moyo should " deal with great issues he has assigned us: organising higher knowledge, in your case', presidential spokesperson George Charamba has said.

 Writing in his weekly Herald column, The Other Side Nathaniel Manheru, Charamba said Moyo should stay clear of cut-throat Zanu PF succession issues.

 Moyo is fighting a losing battle, Charamba said.

He wrote "Minister Jonathan Nathaniel Moyo, the Professor: leave those scurrilous and thoughtless 140-letter tweets, all to motivate and orchestrate real research, to build and organise real knowledge, without doubt always your forte, your competence!

"Not this dabbling in Zanu-PF succession politics you know you will not win.

"Chine vene vacho chinhu ichi and you won't be there when great questions of the day are settled mumatare avo! Too young, too small, simply a late arrivant, my good soul-mate!

"You, me, all others like us, must do what we know and do best: quietly remake our worlds by remarking the knowledge that animates and moves them.

"Not this shallow debate about a "mug" and a "boss"!

 As if President Mugabe ever drinks from a mug, let alone called or known by the awkward appellation of "Boss".

" Not even fragile, hypersensitive at all to be bothered by such stuff! Not the man I know. Rather than seeking to remake him through our small thoughts and inane sensitivities, let us remake and deal with great issues he has assigned us: organising higher knowledge, in your case".

Over the festive season, vice president Emmerson Mnangagwa was pictured holding a mug inscribed  "I am The Boss".

 Mnangagwa's top rival, Moyo had a field day on twitter when the pictures emerged.

Moyo posted on his twitter account  saying "A mug for President? With hard liquor on display like that? Come on. Give people a break!"
