A social media post by government spokesperson Nick Mangwana has stirred controversy, with some interpreting it as a veiled mockery of Vice President Constantino Chiwenga.

The post, made on X (formerly Twitter), featured a photo of President Emmerson Mnangagwa departing for Kenya, flanked by Home Affairs Minister Kazembe Kazembe, Industry Minister Mangaliso Ndlovu, and Defence Minister Oppah Muchinguri-Kashiri - all appearing to laugh heartily.

Mangwana captioned the image: "Pasekwa munhu apa. Mukahumana munosekwa," which loosely translates to "They laughed at him. If you waffle, people laugh at you."

The cryptic remark has sparked speculation online, with many questioning whether the laughter was directed at Vice President Chiwenga, who was notably absent from the scene.

The post has reignited tensions within ZANU-PF, where factional divisions and succession anxieties continue to simmer ahead of the party's upcoming conference in Manicaland.
