Jonathan Moyo Likens ED To Pol Pot

Former Higher and Tertiary Education Minister, Professor Jonathan Moyo, has likened President Emmerson Mnangagwa to Cambodia’s former ruler, Pol Pot.

Prof. Moyo says the wearing of a scarf everywhere and every time was popularised by the former dictator who was accused of mass murder. Writing on social media, Moyo said:

Mnangagwa’s voodoo idea of wearing a scarf everywhere & every time in all weather is not new.

The tacky fashion was started & popularised by POL POT, the notoriously vicious dictator & genocidal maniac whose footsteps Mnangagwa is following religiously!

During Pol Pot’s long rule, those regarded as enemies of the new government were killed. These mass killings, coupled with malnutrition, strenuous working conditions, and poor medical care, killed between 1.5 and 3 million people of a population of roughly 8 million (about 25%), a period later termed the Cambodian genocide.
