Confusion and chaos are dominating the news in Zimbabwe after the military took over the national broadcaster, ZBC, saying it wanted to "target criminals" around president Robert Mugabe.

Amidst unofficial reports and rumours, the BBC and other news organisations are quoting an unverified Twitter account allegedly belonging to Zimbabwe's ruling party, Zanu-PF:

TheBBC's Breaking News team even sent a push-up notification, as if the Zimbabwean account was an official source:
And it was also quoted in BBC Radio 4's Today Programme:

It's puzzling to see a news organisation like the BBC quoting an unverified source in this way.

In 2014 the account called for hipsters to be shot after being forced to sing the national anthem:
That tweet has now been deleted:

More outlandish tweets feature Mugabe photoshopped as a surfer on a wave after the infamous fall in 2015:
Or ranting against Eggs Benedict as a product of imperialism:
Or against Jews:
Both The Atlantic and Australian broadcaster ABC quoted the account and then issued retractions in 2012, when rumours of Mugabe being gravely ill and fighting for his life in a Singapore hospital swirled on social media.
The local paper NewsDay reported in 2013 that @zanu_pf was a fake account and real Zanu-PF officials were looking into the identity of its owner.
Meanwhile, @zanu_pf just tweeted that henceforth it will be loyal to vice-president Emmerson Mnangagwa, who is rumoured to have taken control of the presidency after he was sacked by Mugabe:
