Energy Mutodi sayus he is quitting music now that he is the
Information deputy minister.
Mutodi claimed that through his Facebook posts he predicted
Mnangagwa’s rise at a time when some had written the former Justice minister
off.
Mutodi claimed that through his Facebook posts he predicted
Mnangagwa’s rise at a time when some had written the former Justice minister
off.
“I will not shed light on some of the things I predicted,
but it is an open secret that I predicted this new dispensation, particularly
that the then vice-president ED Mnangagwa would be president of Zimbabwe and
also that he would appoint the then Defence Forces commander Constantino
Guvheya Chiwenga and Kembo Mohadi as his deputies,” he told the Standard.
“I also further predicted that the then president R G
Mugabe would be removed from office if he failed to manage his succession
properly.
“Now these things have come to pass and it should then not
surprise you to see that President Mnangagwa has entrusted me with the
information portfolio as deputy minister.”
Mutodi said he posed for the infamous “I am the boss” mug
picture at the president’s rural homestead because he already knew that the
Zanu PF leader would be “the people’s choice for president”.
He said he considers “social media as a modern tool for
expressing oneself and not necessarily as a tool to fight wars”.
“I was hounded out of the party (Zanu PF) on suspicion that
I was fighting in a certain corner that was undesirable.
“I was jailed and humiliated in public,” Mutodi said. “My
only weapon then was social media.
“So you see that it was not deliberate, but rather it was a
fight for survival.”
