Minister of Youth Tino Machakaire, has found himself at the center of a social media storm and public debate following his recent plea for President Emmerson Mnangagwa to personally witness the dire state of public hospitals across the country.
While some have lauded the minister for bringing attention to a critical issue, others have been quick to dismiss his statement as insincere and a mere attempt at political grandstanding.
The comments made on his X account , saw Minister Machakaire urging the President to visit various public health institutions to gain a first-hand understanding of the challenges faced by both patients and healthcare professionals.
The minister’s remarks were met with a swift and varied reaction from the public. A significant portion of the response online has been critical, with many accusing Minister Machakaire of being a “pretender” and questioning the sincerity of his concern.
Critics argue that as a member of the government, he is not merely a spectator but holds a position of influence and should be actively working to address these issues rather than simply calling for the President’s attention.
