Following the revelation that Robert Mugabe’s leading surrogate is hiding inside Botswana working as a lecturer at one of the colleges,some citizens have called for him to be deported from Botswana.

The Botswana Standard reported on Sunday that Caeser Zvayi who was until recently the editor of the government propaganda mouthpiece The Herald is in Gaborone.

Metro has established that he is lecturing at University of Botswana in Gaborone. He teaches among other the courses Writing for Print and News Writing and Reporting 1 in the university’s Faculty of Communications and Media.

Some students said they were not aware that Zvayi was a key Mugabe supporter and called for him to be kicked out of the country and the school should find a replacement.

‘If he supports Mugabe he must go back,he can be easily replaced by another lecturer from Zimbabwe with morals,how can anyone support Mugabe when people are suffering, afterall why is he in Botswana if he thinks Mugabe is doing the right thing’, said Kagiso Seloma a student at the university.

Seloma’s sentiments were echoed by University of Botswana stdent Mary Kokorwe who said Zimbabweans should stage a demonstration at the university,’He be should arrested for promoting hate and Zimbabweans should demonstrate at the university campus,because that should send a message to those who are violating other people’s rights in Zimbabwe right now that they will not get away with it.’

Other students and locals expressed similar sentiments. Anti-Mugabe sentiments are particularly strong among Botswana citizens and the Botswana government has taken a particular hardline stance against Mugabe.

Botswana based Zimbabwean social commentator Tanonoka Joseph Whande also questioned Zvayi presence in the country,’Such a thing is cause for great concern because it appears as if Mugabe’s apologists are having the best of both worlds by coming to Botswana, hold jobs and continue with their praise-singing to a murderous dictator who appears to be at loggerheads with the government of Botswana.’, he said.

Zvayi has in the past openly called for the alienation of the opposition and celebrated the violent crackdown on the opposition in that country, he is well know for bastardizing the MDC acronym to mean Movement for the Destruction of our Country, sometimes with the ascetic ‘movement’ for ‘morons’. Last year he used a racial slur against the US Ambassador calling him a “house Ni***r”.

He became the first journalist to be added to the European Union travel restrictions on Zimbabwe.

He is accused of propagating hate speech in an updated list of 37 individuals and 4 ‘entities’ under a visa ban and assets freeze. They are accused of whipping up support during a state sponsored terror campaign during and after the June 29 controversial run off election.
