A commissioner at the underfire Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (Zec) has ignited a furore on micro blogging site Twitter by 'liking' a tweet denigrating opposition leader Nelson Chamisa.

Zec commissioner Natsai Mushonga stirred the hornet's nest on Monday evening after she 'liked' a tweet which read ‘mediocrity is when you think a chap who has ever run a tuckshop can suddenly lead 17 million people.

Dream on." The post was poking fun at Chamisa, who has no known entrepreneurial credentials.

ZEC is supposed to be neutral, but sadly its clearly not!! We have a long way to go @ZECzim @DavidColtart @OpenParlyZw @williamzambezi pic.twitter.com/kwgW4JRBeP
