Moyo’s tirade on social media was provoked by a story published by NewsDay on Thursday, where Goodson Nguni, the leader of the Zanu PF-aligned Federation of Non-governmental Organisations, made a string of allegations against Moyo. Nguni’s allegations include accusations that the former Zanu PF critic had an elaborate plan to tarnish the image of President Robert Mugabe and his deputies.
