In a moment that can only be described as a blend of humor and political critique, a picture of Zimbabwe’s Speaker of Parliament, Jacob Mudenda, has gone viral on social media, igniting a wave of laughter and mockery among users.

The image has led many to question the authenticity of Mudenda’s hairstyle, with a significant number of commentators suggesting that what they see is not his natural hair but rather a wig.

The lighthearted controversy escalated when users began to joke about the potential cost of the wig, concluding that if it indeed is a wig, it better not have set taxpayers back significantly.

The playful comments ranged from harmless jests about the speaker’s fashion choices to sarcastic remarks about public funds being allocated to extravagant hairstyles.
