Moira Knight’s father, Eric Knight has been expelled from Zanu PF UK after he showed allegiance to Nelson Chamisa led-party Citizens Coalition for Change.
Eric Knight was well known as a presenter on Ezomgido.
His expulsion from the ruling party comes after he posted pictures of himself whilst wearing a yellow suit on Facebook. Captioning the post, he wrote;
Advocate General Eric Knight says…I stand in solidarity with Zimbabwe’s citizens.
This is the right direction!
It’s about citizens.
It’s about change.
It’s about the country.
The citizen is you.
Sunday 20 February 2023 I will be there at the Zimbabwe Grounds in Highfield.
But above all, Register To Vote.
