President Mnangagwa has issued a stern warning against the misuse of social media, urging Zimbabweans to remain united and resist divisive narratives propagated by what he called “shadowy elements.”
Speaking at the 45th Independence Day main celebrations held at Mutora Open Grounds in Gokwe, President Mnangagwa commended citizens for their resilience and loyalty to the nation in the face of online misinformation and manipulation.
“I commend you, my dear fellow compatriots, both at home and abroad, for remaining vigilant, patriotic and steadfast, never allowing ourselves to be misled by shadowy elements with dubious opportunistic agendas,” he said.
President Mnangagwa emphasized the importance of national unity and development, calling on every citizen to contribute positively to building Zimbabwe.
“Let’s remain united, developing our nation. We all have a duty to work for Zimbabwe. Let us be known for working in our community and our country, and to unite people,” he said.
The President’s remarks come amid growing concerns over disinformation and inflammatory content shared on social media platforms, aimed at destabilising communities and undermining national efforts.
