In an interview with The Chronicle, the Zanu-PF Bulawayo Provincial Youth League chairperson, Khumbulani Mpofu, warned former president Robert Mugabe that his conduct will result in youths disregarding him as Zimbabwe’s icon.
He also said Mugabe’s demands to have his salary paid in cash were outrageous considering that he created the cash shortages by externalising cash. Said Mpofu:
We used to respect him as an icon of this country but his behaviour of late is communicating something else. If he continues behaving the way he does, we will stop treating him like an icon. In fact we will treat him like any other opposition leader since he is nurturing a new opposition party. There is no cash in the country, he should tell us where we should get this cash, he created this situation. He is the one who left the country like this. It seems he knows where to get the cash from. He should inform the current Government where to get it so that it can be circulated across the country. It’s him and the G40 cabal who were externalising cash that is why the President (Emmerson Mnangagwa) has given the culprits an amnesty to bring back the country’s cash.
