Lest the Junta & its running dogs have dead memory, here’s a reminder that the so-called G40 preferred Sekeremayi as successor to former President Mugabe & why. It’s in black & white in the public record & I said it on 1 June 2017!#GenerationalRenewal https://t.co/WX1ntJY20h

Ray Nkosi | Former Defence Minister Sydney Sekeramayi was set to replace Robert Mugabe if plans by the G-40 faction had come to fruition.

Exiled Professor Jonathan took to twitter to write, “Lest the Junta & its running dogs have dead memory, here’s a reminder that the so-called G40 preferred Sekeremayi as successor to former President Mugabe & why. It’s in black & white in the public record & I said it on 1 June 2017!” It seems Moyo is also dealing with speculation that a “bedroom coup” had taken place and Grace Mugabe was to replace her husband in leading the ruling Zanu PF party.

Moyo pulls out a presentation he made during the SAPES Policy Dialogue dubbed “Third Pan African Lecture – Wither the Nationalist project in Zimbabwe”, in which he says Mnangagwa would not advance the nationalist project, accusing him of fronting a faction in Zanu-PF.

Said Moyo at the of Sekeramayi who was last night dropped from Mnangagwa’s new cabinet, “He is senior and this example is an interesting one because you know Dr Sekeramayi’s loyalty to the President, President Mugabe, and to the party, to the country is beyond question and so are his liberation credentials, beyond question.

“So is his political experience, beyond question. So is his consensus style of leadership, quite engaging. So is his stature, unquestionable. So is his commitment to the nationalistic project and above all in my estimation, his humility.

Prof Moyo added: “He is not arrogant. He doesn’t say ‘ndezvedu izvi’ or ‘chinhu chedu ichi’. He is accommodating. He is a true nationalist. In the vein we have seen them from the tradition of President Mugabe, the late Vice President (Joshua) Nkomo or the late Vice President Simon Muzenda, the late Vice President Msika, the late Vice President John Nkomo. You don’t say ‘akabva nekupi uyo?’ You can tell kuti akabva nekupi through the engagement-grounded and I am giving this as an example remember.”
