How I got conned by a Zimbo Bolt driver in JNB

However Zanu pf aligned varakashi on social media have not yet moved on. They are still engaged in a seemingly more heated rakashing than before. Making one wonder why. Are they  somehow aware that for the MDC and for the majority of Zimbabweans it is not over so they are somehow trying to run a counter intelligence campaign? Are they more aware of the challenges that riddled this election that they can see how easily what they say they have may be reversed soon?
