By A Correspondent | ZimEye | Emmerson Mnangagwa has planned to fire his deputy Constantino Chiwenga, sources claim, connecting to his latest statements.
ZANU PF today published an old video of President Emmerson Mnangagwa in a way that suggests he has announced that his deputy, Constantino Chiwenga, violated the ZANU-PF constitution by addressing internal party matters at the Heroes Acre hilltop last Monday. The revelation has intensified speculation that Mnangagwa is preparing to dismiss his long-time ally, escalating tensions within the ruling party.
Mnangagwa said he is upset that his calls to stop the broadcasting of party issues have not only been dis-honoured, but the behaviour has become worse than before.
The clip has Mnangagwa saying the person who ascended a hilltop to announce party issues has broken the constitution. He said:
“There are many things that have been spoken in the party that affect my name without me replying because I have an agenda to maintain the party. It is not right for members of the party to attack each other in the open, to ascend a hilltop to insult each other, it is not allowed; according to our constitution in the party. If we have issues that we want to speak or we want to ask or we dispute each other, we have forums to attend to them. so this is what I was doing. I was attending to procedures. This is what you need to do; issues should not leak out. That is the way we build our party, but now I have discovered that the problem of blowing issues out of the party has worsened.”
Impeccable sources spoke to ZimEye saying, “Mnangagwa’s plan to remove Chiwenga is good because it will be his end.”
The development comes after Mnangagwa announced in a veiled but direct threat saying “any person wishing to replace me, needs to first go through the death row.”
”You must take poison first,” said Mnangagwa in an announcement late last year.
Mnangagwa’s decision comes at a time when he frantically attempted to introduce a fictitious 2017 “army-tricking” Gwanda-style poison claim through a fake inventor who’s the armed robber-charged Maxwell Chikumbutso on Tuesday afternoon. This was just after Mnangagwa had appeared to have lost military support at a heroes acre function.
The Maxwell Chikumbutso Poison-Patent-Project has since failed to convince the army the way the military was moved to side with Mnangagwa in a coup in 2017. War veterans are on Sunday to call Mnangagwa and Chikumbutso to a press conference to account for their fascinating poisoning allegations plus their scientific invention claim with which they have introduced an “endless electricity” invention to the country without a single patent to support it.
War Veterans are confronting Maxwell Chikumbutso and Emmerson Mnangagwa over their endless-electricity business, and their poison-talk
They are asking:
- Were you Maxwell ever poisoned? Produce the documented medical evidence now
2. Were you Emmerson ever poisoned at Gwanda? Produce the evidence now.
3. Are you introducing endless electricity or just endless political confusion you started in 1974?
4. Why did you not disclose your conviction over fraud, and armed robbery charges?
5. How do you separate yourselves from armed robbers operating since 1974?
6. Why did you Emmerson hire the convicted armed robber Paradzayi Kutyauripo to become Director the Office Of The President State House properties? - Since the day you refused to assist comrades shot in Zambia as you said you were working for Rhodesia govt in 1975, can you declare the day you stopped working for the Rhodesia CIO Special Branch-Dan Stannard, Mr Emmerson Mnangagwa.
8. Before launching your car, have you addressed victims of your fraud and the businesses raided using your unlicensed firearm since 2018, Mr Maxwell Chikumbutso?
- Are you both not assembling a secret army of robbers to subject the nation to a further 20 years of not your “endless electricity,” but endless anarchy and destruction?
This is a developing story.
A statement from Mr Mnangagwa was not possible at the time of writing. – ZimEye
