Former President Canaan Banana’s son Nathan has apologised to award-winning journalist Hopewell Chin’ono for calling him a clown.
Banana had criticised Chin’ono for highlighting the dire state of cancer treatment in Zimbabwe when he gave a speech in Geneva, Switzerland recently.
He tweeted: “Kanti vele why is a cancer machine now a priority need over all other medical resources? Is it because some clown decided to make it an international concern? There are so many other priority areas like building clinics/hospitals, upscaling pay packages & supplying Ambulances.”
Chin’ono reminded Banana about how he had supported him when people made reference to his father’s sexuality and when his mother was being “persecuted” by ZANU PF.
Banana, however, accused Chin’ono of lying about having supported him in any way and told him to leave his parents out of their verbal spat.
He said: “Please @daddyhope don’t make false claims about the support you never provided. You are simply making reference to those issues to those issues to try and belittle my person.”
