COMMENTS
He is lucky there was no Doctor following him.

Zvakaoma
The car was stationery. It was not moving. Crooks trying to hoodwink us.
vana Air time boys say it was all fake.they dont even know where he came from behind the car.
Matsotsi…..
Lucky to be alive becoz of the absent of the doctors
Laughable, two cars travelling in opposite directions, one rams into the driver side of the other. Or a display of poor investigative reporting. Not surprising they find it worth telling the nation that an excellent harvest is expected just becaues some poor minister claims to have flown across the country to assess the crop situation.
Concludedly Mnangagwa is the chief executor of the grand plan, some novice was trying to take over. Cann’t we see more of this with success.
Was the harvest not a major improvement then?
Stupid Mnangangwa…no one will believe this. You want sympathy and to point a finger at J. MUjuru!!! This time round we have come to know your tricks …bloody trickster. If anyone wanted to eliminate you it. very easy coz we know kune small house yako and your stupid movements. We are not daft to believe this.
Kunyepa you want some news chete. If anyone wants to eliminate you it’s very easy…we know where your small house is. Stupid minister…you will never ever rule this conutry called Zimbabwe
Never?
All these “Chefs” getting hurt
or killed will surely close
down a lot of ZPF ‘kitchens’.
Why are ‘chefs’ targeted so?
Trying to play victim would always not yield desired outcomes as the people are not charlatans who take any rubbish from anyone,no matter how influential,without posing credibility questions. You can fool some people sometimes but you cannot fool everybody all the time.
Zimbabwe will one day have a leader whose conscience is clean and as they say one day is one day.
