Sen Mohadi disowns ‘malicious’ Twitter account

BEITBRIDGE Senator, Cde Tambudzani Mohadi, has disowned a Twitter account purportedly created in her name that has been awash with messages seeking to malign the character and person of her husband and Vice President Cde Kembo Mohadi.

In an interview last week, Cde Mohadi said the Twitter account had been created by malicious people, who wanted to cause unnecessary alarm and despondency in the society.

Cde Mohadi said she had no business discussing marital or personal issues on social media platforms.

“These are the works of evil people,” she said.

“I do not have a Twitter or Facebook account. For your own information, as an adult I have no business discussing personal issues on social media.

“Zimbabweans must not be hoodwinked by the dubious characters who are trying to drag our family name in the mud.

“It is very disheartening to note that people can go to an extent of creating fake social media accounts, all in the name of tarnishing other people’s images.”

Cde Mohadi said she only had one WhatsApp account that she rarely uses.

An onslaught to scandalise Vice President Mohadi on the social media networks went into overdrive last week after a picture of him hugging his niece went public.

The girl had visited Cde Mohadi in the company of her family members.

Some of the tweets posted on the dubious account sought to portray the Vice President as a womaniser, who takes advantage of the disadvantaged members of society.

Cde Mohadi has confirmed that the girl and several people in the pictures were indeed their relatives who had visited her husband.

“They took the pictures when they visited his office recently,” she said. “There is nothing sinister in those images, those are our relatives who migrated from Beitbridge to Zaka.”
