We are supposed to believe that a President who got 53% of the vote in 2023 has gotten 99% of the people to give him a term extension after three years of not delivering water, healthcare, roads, education and jobs? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

The one mistake ED made was that, because he knew he was unpopular (a 50% President), he created parallel structures within ZANU PF to push his agenda and consolidate power. In doing so, he circumvented the party's structures, manipulated processes, and even sidelined the old guard.

Likewise, out of fear that the army expected him to honour his promise that Chiwenga would replace him, he purged sections of the military. Since then, nearly 50 high-ranking battle-hardened military leaders have died under oftentimes mysterious circumstances.

In an effort to circumvent government systems and processes, he created a Parallel Cabinet of advisers and businesspeople to whom he allocated tenders and entrusted with government work through his office.

In the process, this Parallel Cabinet became powerful and wealthy through tenders, public-private partnerships and appropriating government assets. As they enriched themselves and monopolised opportunities, they evolved into a cartel that shut out other businesses—including military-aligned businesses—from key sectors of the economy.

As a result, this clique around the President now uses handouts in the form of cars and money to co-opt remaining generals, key ZANU PF leaders, government officials, MPs, and influencers in order to cultivate support for an unpopular President and his CAB3 retirement plan.

However, despite lavishing kingmakers and protectors of the realm with gifts and patronage to co-opt them, the problem is that the CAB3sters refuse to empower them with the deals and business opportunities that made them [the CAB3sters] wealthy.

What this has created is a circle of powerful and influential people who facilitate for the President and his cartel to make money in exchange for handouts.
However, this relationship is merely transactional and individual based, hence it has not cultivated loyalty or any meaningful institutional backing.

The powerful men doing the facilitating are no longer content with handouts alone; THEY WANT MORE — access to the deals and opportunities that made the CAB3sters wealthy — and they know that getting there means getting rid of the cartel around President that is gluttonously closing everyone else out.

It’s obvious too for them to see that the time to strike is now, because at 87 years old, the President is in visible decline and may soon die or become politically redundant.

Moreover, given his lack of popularity, the growing resistance to CAB3, and what many perceive as his weak institutional support within ZANU PF, government, and the army, they increasingly see him and his Parallel Cabinet as the past. This is why they are beginning to align themselves with what they view as the future.

Everyone with influence and power also realises that Mnangagwa represents the sunset, and they are now waiting for the dawn. This inevitably means that CAB3 has become an open tomb that only those who are not perceptive will choose to be entombed in.

Even though there may still appear to be support for the President, the warning from retired generals to parliamentarians—that they should consider CAB3 and our constitution with a view to tomorrow—has altered the calculation. It is wiser to align with the future than to be buried alongside the old man and his CAB3.

Mnangagwa is the past, and the future is rising in the form of a younger, stronger, 69-year-old former general who is offering the possibility of renewal and, more importantly, a redistribution of opportunities in a rising Zimbabwe.

Chiwenga is backed by an army he led in Mozambique, the Congo, Angola, Sudan, Equatorial Guinea, and Somalia. Through these missions, he trained, mentored, and promoted many of the leaders who remain within that army today. Many passed through military institutions he helped establish, while others gathered intelligence and defended the nation on secret missions that remain

REGIMOND MATHAMBO (or "Matambo") is Kuda Tagwirei's real name. Pals he grew up with, speaking pure siNdebele, in Shurugwi call him Regi. He became Tagwirei at #CBZ; setup Sakunda for murky deals & the rest is history. After US & UK sanctions he's back to MATHAMBO, for some deals!

Petrol is going up. Electricity is going up. Food keeps going up. You can't control these things. But you can DOWNGRADE YOUR LIFE.

Get a cheaper car. Move your child to a cheaper school. Eat cheaper. Etc. Take control of your life. Before you get depressed.

Many broke young people today have zero skills, zero savings, but expensive phones. They take nice pics & make videos at shopping malls, in front of hotel mirrors or beaches, post online, & return to the trenches.
