Vice President Constantino Chiwenga this Friday toured Marondera to assess isolation and treatment facilities in Mashonaland East province as well as the level of compliance for the 21-day lockdown.
VP Chiwenga is pictured fully clothed in Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), and in one of the pictures, a nurse with only a face mask sanitizes his hands.
The pictures have drawn criticism from political scientist Jonathan Moyo and journalist Hopewell Chin’ono.
Jonathan Moyo: It’s breathtaking that the #ZanuPF apa Wamba seems unaware of the #COVID19 divide that’s now between them who wear facemasks & the povo who don’t. If facemasks are necessary for the shefs, why are they not necessary for the povo? The #coronavirus is an equal opportunity disease!
Hopewell Chin’ono: Vice President Chiwenga is wearing the best ever Personal Protective Equipment-PPE that I have ever seen anyone wearing in the whole world.
The irony of him getting sanitizer liquid from a nurse with nothing, but just a mask is staggering.
That is our leadership for you, detached from the reality of their doctors and nurses who are begging for the basics!
See the pictures below:
Typical guk coward like whinnney
Marubbish
He is just blank upstairs.. he doesnt even know the purpose
of the “rockdown”
He is just showing off his China tailor made PPE.
Chin’ono says it all! The medics who are constantly dealing with the sick have minimal protection while athe touring VP has the full regalia. Could he not have asked for a full report from an administrative official?
