Deputy president of the breakaway MDC-T party led by Thokozani Khupe, Obert Gutu has threatened to go after social media trolls whom he referred to as social media terrorists. Gutu who seems to be a favourite target for social media critics and trolls vowed to single-handedly go after the trolls and to silence them one at a time. Writing on microblogging site Twitter, Gutu said,
I’m hunting you down…you paid mercenary social media terrorists broadcasting from within and outside Zimbabwe. I don’t fear you. I will come for you one by one until you repent from spewing garbage, insults and vulgarities. I will single-handedly silence you. It’s GAME ON!…Day of reckoning is coming very, very soon.MDC-T will be vindicated as a genuinely patriotic, progressive and democratic political party. When skeletons start tumbling from various hidden wardrobes, we’re going to be vindicated.
