The Minister of Information and Communications Technology, Hon. Tatenda Mavetera, has been under fire for singing “diss songs” against the Acting President Constantino Chiwenga in support of His Excellency President Dr Emmerson Dambudzo Mnangagwa, instead of focusing on the country’s technological advancements.
According to the renowned Zimbabwean journalist Hopewell Chin’ono’s X post, Newsreportzim.com has learned that the ICT minister Tatenda Mavetera was singing diss songs against Chiwenga in support of Mnangagwa.
“On a day when the whole world is abuzz with the release of #DeepSeekR1, Zimbabwean ICT Minister Tatenda Mavetera was singing diss songs against Chiwenga in support of Mnangagwa.
“You see, most of Zimbabwe’s problems have been caused by having the wrong people in critical positions.
“While ICT ministers in other countries are busy drafting AI blueprints for their countries, Zimbabwe’s ICT minister is dancing Kongonya.
“She can sing about Chiwenga being a traitor as she was doing yesterday—that is their ZANUPF party business—but why was someone who knows nothing about ICT, someone who was a soap actress on ZBC and a money changer, appointed to such a technologically strategic ministry?
“The answer is simple, among many other things, she was appointed because she leads a comical group called #YoungWomenForED, a group of unemployed women who spread idiotic propaganda that everything is ok under ED and sing at gatherings in support of the ageing Zimbabwean corrupt president.
“Zimbabwe is truly cursed, the longer this carries on, the longer we continue being a laughing stock in the region and beyond!,” Chin’ono
The ICT minister is one of other ministers who are in verge to push ED2030 agenda through the constitution amendment which allow to rule until 2030.
This has raised concerns about the country’s leadership, with many believing that incompetent individuals are holding critical positions, hindering Zimbabwe’s progress.
The controversy surrounding Mavetera’s appointment and her actions as ICT Minister has sparked outrage, with many Zimbabweans feeling that the country is being mismanaged and that its leaders are out of touch with the needs of its citizens.
As the country struggles to keep up with global technological advancements, the focus on petty politics and propaganda is seen as a major obstacle to progress.
