ZANU-PF leaders shut down rumors about a huge public rally at President Mnangagwa's Precabe Farm. Party official Farai Muroiwa Marapira called the rally posters fake on social media. He said only top party members would visit the farm on May 25. The meeting aimed to boost manufacturing through better farming and mining. Marapira wanted to clear up the confusion about who could attend.
A fake social media account stirred up major drama about the farm visit. The hijacked account claimed businessman Kuda Tagwirei was paying for the event. It accused party leaders of trying to promote Tagwirei to higher positions. The account demanded that officials arrest Tagwirei for corruption instead. Many people shared these serious accusations online before anyone could check if they were real.
The real anti-corruption agency had warned people months earlier about the fake account. They said hackers took over their original social media page in June 2024. Officials could not regain control despite trying hard to fix the problem. Journalist Hopewell Chin'ono blamed government workers for being unable to handle the situation. ZANU-PF has not said anything more about these claims.
