Jonathan Moyo laughs at himself

Jonathan Moyo, who was fired as a government minister on Monday when President Emmerson Mnangagwa dissolved ousted president Robert Mugabe’s last cabinet and expelled from Parliament yesterday, had time to laugh at himself yesterday quipping that “where there’s no laughter, the people perish!”

The subject that left him with cracked ribs was a picture of himself which he said had been forwarded to him by one of his “dope daughters”.

The picture was actually posted on his timeline by someone calling himself Kazembe Kazembe jnr following Moyo’s tweet that 25 soldiers had stormed Saviour Kasukuwere’s house where he and his family as well as that of Kasukuwere were inside.

“The life of a border jumper,” Kazembe wrote. “wakumbira ani kuchargisa foni.”
