ED is now on WhatsApp and here are a few things that will definitely happen

Zimbabwe’s president Emmerson Mnangagwa is really selling himself as the tech savvy president.

Soon after inauguration he was on Twitter and Facebook followed by a website. Last week he launched an app and with it a WhatsApp access to his team.

The number for that is +263776910469.

@edmnangagwa has confirmed opening a WhatsApp chat platform to connect with the people. The head of State confirmed the WhatsApp number 0776910469 as authentic.

You would think they would have made a plan to get an easier number to remember or that given the government owns Telecel and NetOne they will have used those networks.

But we digress.

As is the case with most of these things these are the kind of things that you will happen now that he is online:

Someone will forward memes of either the president, his former boss or references to crocodiles or whatever
Someone will forward Bible verses to him every morning
Someone will ask him about the cash crisis
He will be added to a church group
Someone will add him to a family group.
A rapper will send him a song
A zimdancehall group will add him to a group and send the latest music
Someone will accidentally send a nude (which will come with an arrest warrant)
Someone will just, randomly at night, say how much they love the president
Someone will send a Chamisa poster
Someone will send cute pictures of their baby
Someone will send a prayer
Someone will forward jokes to him
There will be a greeting like ‘ndeip’
Oh the attempts to WhatsApp call will happen
The pasi nemhandu dancehall weed video?

But obviously isn’t on it himself. Because if the president is chilling on WhatsApp, cooling out with emojis and all, then, well, we might as well shut the country down and have some tequila shots.
