Defence Minister Dr Sydney Sekeramayi and Health Minister Dr David Parirenyatwa are suing Harare businessmaan Energy Mutodi for alleging that they poisoned Vice President Emmerson Mnangagwa.
The two want $40 000 from Mutodi and both are claiming $20 000 each from Mr Mutodi as defamation damages. Through their lawyers Machingura Legal Practitioners, Sekeramayi and Parirenyatwa allege that Mutodi’s Facebook status was false and wrongful with an effect of portraying the two as murderers as opposed to medical doctors who should be saving lives. Part of the declaration reads:
The post was made and published with intention to defame plaintiffs and to injure their respective reputations. As a result of the defamation, plaintiffs have been individually damaged in their reputation and have respectively suffered damages in the sum of $20 000 each.
