Saviour Kasukuwere, the former ZANU PF Political Commissar and leader of the Generation 40 (G40) faction, has strongly rejected President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s ambitions to extend his time in office beyond the constitutionally mandated limit.

Mnangagwa has been working to consolidate his hold on power, aiming to amend the Zimbabwean constitution in order to remain in office beyond the current term, which is due to end in 2028. However, Kasukuwere dismissed these efforts as “daydreams” and vowed to thwart Mnangagwa’s plan during the 2025 elections.

Kasukuwere’s comments were made in response to statements by ZANU PF Central Committee member Jenfan Muswere, who claimed that the resolutions passed at the party’s recent Annual People’s Conference are binding, having been adopted unanimously by the delegates.

Muswere highlighted that when the resolutions were read out during the conference, there were no objections from any of the delegates. One key resolution called for extending Mnangagwa’s term by two additional years to ensure the completion of his Vision 2030 agenda.

The resolution reads: “The Delegates to the ZANU PF 21st National People’s Conference resolve as follows: the President and First Secretary of ZANU PF Party, His Excellency, Cde. Dr E. D. Mnangagwa’s term of office as President of the Republic of Zimbabwe and First Secretary of ZANU PF be extended beyond 2028 to 2030. The Party and Government should, therefore, set in motion the necessary amendments to the National Constitution so as to give effect to this resolution.”

Despite this official stance, Kasukuwere, who has previously insisted that Mnangagwa’s Vision 2030 will not be realized, made it clear that he will confront this issue head-on. “It’s a Tingiringo resolution.

I will handle it in the coming weeks. For now, let’s rest,” he declared, emphasizing his commitment to blocking Mnangagwa’s attempt to stay in power beyond 2025.
