Cde Minister, we live this health crisis everyday

YOUTH Development, Empowerment and Vocational Training minister Tino Machakaire has come under fire after publicly criticising the government’s failure to address the deplorable state of public hospitals — a government he serves.

On Monday, Machakaire appeared to break ranks as he voiced frustration over the condition of the country’s health system, speaking directly to President Emmerson Mnangagwa.

His bold remarks have sparked backlash, particularly among ruling party loyalists on social media, who accuse him of betraying party unity for stating what many Zimbabweans have long known and endured.
