"Everybody knows that the Boss is Gushungo. One Boss at a time, please," Moyo tweeted, calling the drama "Mug-saga." Gushungo is one of Mugabe's family names.
In defense of the mug, Energy Mutodi, a businessman who appeared with Mnangagwa in one of the photos, responded: "Everybody is a boss in his or her own house. Every woman who is happily married calls her husband boss, and it doesn't follow that by so doing, women are telling their husbands to overthrow Mugabe."
The state-run Herald newspaper on Thursday said the mug was "part of the numerous gifts the Acting President received for Christmas and took to his rural home unopened." According to the newspaper, a guest arrived uninvited just as Mnangagwa was opening the presents and took a photo.
For his part, Mnangagwa did not mention the mug in a statement released Wednesday but criticized "some elements" for trying to turn Mugabe against him.
"Those who are bent on drawing a wedge between me and my leader … are sure to fail," he said.- AP
