"We Were All Telling Lies When We Were Saying Mugabe For 2018" Says Top Zanu-PF Official

Addressing party members at Farmers Hall in Umguza district, Matabeleland North province, Zanu-PF deputy commissar Omega Hungwe said members of the party were lying when they endorsed former President Robert Mugabe as their candidate for the 2018 elections.

Hungwe said Mugabe was too old to stand for elections but wanted to do so because of his wife Grace Mugabe. Said Hungwe:

I came here to beg you, to ask you to vote for Zanu-PF. I know many are still asking what happened in November, but in all fairness we were all telling lies when we were saying Mugabe for 2018. Honestly, 94 years, a grandfather? He doesn’t walk well, he doesn’t talk properly. If you talk to him and come back later he would have forgotten. Cde Mugabe was now old and the problem was that he married a younger wife who was power hungry.
