Jonathan Moyo wanted Sekeramayi to be president, not Grace Mugabe

Former Higher Education minister Jonathan Moyo says he wanted former Defence Minister Sydney Sekeramayi to be president and not Grace Mugabe as widely believed.

Said Moyo, "Regarding my position, the assertion is a convenient myth told ad infinitum in & by some quarters when in fact it is a falsehood. For the avoidance of doubt, I wanted Sydney Sekeremayi & said so in public; most notably in a widely publicised lecture at #SapesTrust on 1 June 2017."

Moyo was responding to Trevor Ncube who had earlier said, "For avoidance of doubt @Hon_Kasukuwere , @ProfJNMoyo and l come a long way. Would still love to have a drink with them and ask: so what happened to you two? You wanted Grace Mugabe to be our President etc"

Moyo is one of the staunchest critics of President Emmerson Mnangagwa.
