By Own Correspondent|Permanent secretary in the Information ministry Nick Mangwana has described opposition leader Nelson Chamisa as a drama queen out to seek attention following reports that he was barred from attending the late Dr Oliver Mtukudzi’s memorial music gala at the National Sports Stadium.

On Saturday, Chamisa was not allowed entry into the National Sports Stadium with his motorcade, as he was stopped by security agents.

However, Mangwana said Chamisa was not barred from entering the stadium arguing that he was treated like everyone else, including Government ministers, who were not allowed to enter the stadium in their vehicles.

Said Mangwana:

He was not barred. All other dignitaries including ministers were parking their cars outside and walking in. But Chamisa refused and wanted to drive in. Security protocol did not allow this and he walked away. He was not denied entry. Chamisa is being a drama queen. A prima donna out to attract attention for the sake of it. Government has no business barring people from funerals or any functions, but protocol has to be followed. We are not a chaotic Government.
