“Umthethwandaba uthole uNgarivhume elecala lokutshotshozela udlakela. Bathi kabavumelani lalokho akutshoyo ukuba kazange abe enkundleni yeTwitter. Bathi waqamba amanga esabekayo. Sizaphenduka kusasa lapha.”
UNgarivhume uthi ukubotshwa kwakhe kuveza ukuba uhulumende weZimbabwe uzimisele ukulwisana lalabo abalemibono ehlukene leyakhe.
“Kubuhlungu ukuba bathi ngilecala engingalenzanga. Angizange ngibe leTwitter abayitshoyo. Banginike icala mina ngingazange ngibe leTwitter account.”
Ingcitshi kwezombusazwe, uMnu. Tjenesani Ntungakwa, uthi uhulumende usebenzisa umthetho ukulwisana labaphikisana laye.
“Okwakuqala uhulumende weZANU wafunda emakhiweni ukusebenzisa imithetho. Isetshenziswa ukuvalela abantu abalengqondo zokulwisana luhulumende.”
Isikhulumeli sika hulumende, uMnu. Nick Mangwana, uthe uhulumende kangeneli ekusebenzeni kwemithwethwandaba.

“Sibhekana ele ndubo ezifana lokuswela izibhedlela, ezikolo lokunye. Nxa sikhangele ama cdes abanengi baphila nzima kumele sikulungise lokhu.”
