Jonathan Moyo was once called 'a devil incarnate' by the late former President of Zimbabwe, Robert Mugabe, for appointing editors of state-owned newspapers who had previously worked for independent media and were critical of Zanu-PF.
Moyo is like a chameleon; wherever he goes, he always chooses the color of the surroundings.
More harm has been done by the leaked audio, which has exposed Jonathan Moyo and shown that he only cares about his own personal advancement and is constantly against the majority of people. He constantly uses legal theater to purify power.
This only serves to highlight the type of a professor we have in Zimbabwe.
Regarding Moyo, his leaked audio largely supports the mercenary role he has consistently played. He is a hangman, an architect of constitutional brutality, and he reads from a clever handbook.
This discarded knowledgeable academic Professor Jonathan Moyo, who is currently eking out a living somewhere in East Africa's dungeons, has confessed that he had a telephone conversation with Counsel Zibusiso Ncube, who asked him to help Mbuso Fuzwayo on his Constitutional Amendment No. 3 Bill court challenge.
Moyo is trying to exhaust all necessary channels to come back home and buy loyalty from Mr Emmerson Mnangagwa.
He is making every effort to regain Mnangagwa, whom he called a "unelected dunderhead."
However his political career is dwindling and withering. It is actually coming to an end. Nobody trusts him anymore due to his flip-flopping antics. He changes like the Cape Town weather and is very unpredictable.
He is that kind of a character who enjoys hopping, skipping, jumping, and somersaulting all over the places while changing goal posts.
Prof. Jonathan Moyo, a former media hangman, was the main force behind the drafting of the most notorious and harsh draconian media law, AIPPA, which resulted in the arrest of private-sector journalists. He was also implicated in the bombing of Daily News publications, which occurred while Geoff Nyarota was the main editor.
Former Information Minister Jonathan Moyo promised to silence the Daily News because it constituted a security threat to the country. Then after he gave that statement the following morning, at gunpoint, an armed crowd detained the Daily News' six-man security staff at its printing facility.
Moyo, who introduced 75% local content at the national broadcasting ZBC, bombarded the whole country with Rambai Makashinga and Hondo Yeminda jingles from musician Last Chiyangwa popularly known as Tambaoga. Moyo made sure that no airplay was given to the opposition on both the television and radio. He hated the opposition with passion.
Jonathan Moyo was also part and parcel of the Tsholotsho Declaration, where he supported a factional group, Lacoste, led by Mnangagwa.
The mission was scuppered by Solomon Mujuru, and Moyo vented his anger against Mugabe.
He wrote a deadly sting in the tail and concluded that "the current political and economic problems facing Zimbabwe (were) due to the fact that the country (was) being ruled by a hopelessly clueless, tired, and terrified undemocratic clique that desperately (wanted) to cling to power by fair means or foul at the clear expense of national interest.
Moyo invited his sacking and was subsequently expelled from Zanu PF.
Jonathan Moyo is a person of a shrewd character. He is too manipulative. At one time he fell out again with former President the late Robert Mugabe, and he was sacked from the party and later bounced back as an independent candidate.
He was later readmitted back into the party until the time he was kicked out in November 2017 during Operation Restore Order engineered by the Lacoste cabal when the army toppled Mugabe.
When he was booted out in 2017, Moyo began denouncing Emmerson Mnangagwa's regime, calling it a mafia organization that had seized power from Mugabe through a military intervention.
He subsequently began posting positively about the opposition MDC-T Alliance, led by Nelson Chamisa, and during the campaign, he introduced the hashtag #KwekweHim, which literally means Mnangagwa must be defeated.
Surprisingly, Moyo, now a fugitive in Kenya, continues to defend the dictatorship that expelled him from the country. Moyo who was intellectually agile, but now seems to be intellectually tired.
Moyo, who consistently fights and defies popular will of the people, leaves a legacy of being an unprincipled, suspicious, and questionable character.
