Own Correspondent|THE Ministry of Information, Publicity & Broadcasting Services has dismissed a statement made by presidential spokesperson George Charamba that the nation had to take tweets from President Mnangagwa’s official twitter page with a pinch of salt.

Charamba cautioned the nation against believing everything that is tweeted through President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s verified Twitter account,insinuating that the page was being run without the full control and authority of the President.

But the Information Ministry, via its own twitter page, has dismissed Charamba’s claims.

In a short but hard-hitting tweet, the Information Ministry twitter page, believed to be under the hands of the ministry’s permanent secretary Nick Mangwana, has said nothing gets posted on President Mnangagwa’s twitter page without him having cleared it.

Charamba cautioned the nation against believing everything that is tweeted through President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s verified Twitter account.

Responding to journalists who were probing about the call for dialogue by President Mnangagwa, Charamba said, “Just when we were in there the President was drawing me to an attempt as it were putting words in his mouth using his twitter account. So do not always believe that which is coming through that account.”

But in an apparent clap back, the Information Ministry has just tweeted: “There maybe be many fake accounts in His Excellence President Mnangagwa’s name but @edmnangagwa is the legitimate voice of the President. Nothing goes on there but that which represents his views and positions on issues and that which he has explicitly cleared.”

“There maybe be many fake accounts in HE President Mnangagwa’s name but @edmnangagwa is the legitimate voice of the President. Nothing goes on there but that which represents his views and positions on issues and that which he has explicitly cleared,” said the Ministry.

Confusion due to serious factional fights has ripped the government’s information department right in the middle, with information of key national significance constantly changing depending on the mouthpiece that speaks at the time.
