A top Zanu-PF official and an ally of First Lady Grace Mugabe has tweeted that he and other 50 party officials are outside the country.
Jonathan Moyo tweeted that he is “relatively fine”.
And the account claims that Professor Moyo and more than 50 of his fellow G40 companions are actually outside the country and relatively safe, contrary to media reports that they were arrested by the Zimbabwe Defence Forces in the military takeover which took place last week.
The tweet has however been deleted but we manged to get a screengrab of it:
Mr Moyo, who is also the minister for higher education, is among party officials that were pushing for Mrs Mugabe to take over from her husband.
