Anyone having a look at this photo of his royal highness Mnangagwa can never be blamed for mocking him.
He looks more like a circus clown than a President.
And on a more serious side…surely everyone in Zimbabwe should have the right to express an opinion about their leaders…good or bad.
And all Zimbabweans know that our currency is rubbish.
And that it was made rubbish by ZANU PF led by the very same Mnangagwa.
