He also accused the paper of settling Zanu PF matters on Twitter which President Robert Mugabe spoke against at the just ended Zanu PF people’s conference in Masvingo. He said:
Ah you're taggingg me here; settling Party matters on Twitter. I'm driving this bus so tighten your seat belts or you'll be under the bus! https://t.co/wzA6hA3W27
