*Video: SB Moyo Did NOT Announce That Elections Will Be Held On 18 July 2018 (Updated)* *Follow Pindula on WhatsApp for daily new updates* https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029Va84dngJP21B2nWeyM3v?uc Contrary to some reports on social media and other media, Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Trade, Lieutenant-General Sibusiso Busi Moyo (retired) did not announce that the harmonised elections will be held on the 18th of July 2018. The minister is alleged to have made the pronouncement when he was speaking on the government’s plans for re-engagement and renewal of Zimbabwe’s international economic relations at Chatham House in the United Kingdom on Monday night. Minister Moyo announced that Zimbabwe reaffirms its commitment to openness and transparency ahead of the July 2018 elections. The confusion started when the official Twitter account of Chatham House appeared to have made a mistake and tweeted the following: ---------- *HOT DEALS:* *itel A70 - (128GB, 3GB RAM) $89,* *itel A70 - (256GB, 4GB RAM) $99* *itel P40 (128GB, 4GB), (6000mAh) $99* *itel P40 (64GB, 4G), (6000mAh) $93* Cash on Delivery in Harare & Bulawayo.
