The problem with phone recordings is we don’t know who did the recording & how many other recordings they have. Our elders say musapembedza n’anga neinobata mai (The witchdoctor you praise might one day point to your mother as the village witch). Panonetsa! #ZimbabweanLivesMatter
If it’s the State then we’re all vulnerable. They’re listening to & recording all our conversations. Well, but we knew that already. But it’s never been fair game to publish recordings. If we accept that it’s fair game then the floodgates are well & truly open. It won’t end well
That said, now that it’s a public resource, which most of us have listened to (even if we pretend we didn’t) it was a fascinating exchange from which we learnt quite a few things about how the Mnangagwa regime operates. But that’s for another time.
