1. Every crisis has an easy target upon which all frustrations are vented. That Obadiah Moyo is struggling as Health Minister is plain. But the man failed long before the arrival of #COVID19 His critics avoid the fact that he has a boss, Mnangagwa & the buck stops with him.

2. Responsibility for handling the #COVID19 pandemic is too big to be placed on the doorstep of a Health Minister. Across the world, the head of government is taking a hands-on approach to the crisis. They are taking direct responsibility. Our main guy must take responsibility.

3. Zimbabwe’s flawed #COVID19 strategy is not Moyo’s strategy. It is ED’s strategy. Asking ED to fire Moyo is a typically Zimbabwean way of dealing with a problem: go after the easy target - a clueless Minister, as if the boss who must operate the political guillotine has a clue.

4. Our crisis is not just a #COVID19 crisis; it has always been a public health crisis - the result of decades of neglect by government. Why would they invest in public health when they don’t use the system? As much as Moyo is a liability he did not create this farce. ZANU PF did

5. Some might get satisfaction if Moyo is relieved of his duties but it would be temporary. His replacement will have to work with the same corrupt & cartelised system. Moyo doesn’t know what his doing, but neither does his boss. Applying pressure on Moyo alone is unimaginative.
