TAGWIREI’S APPOINTMENT; MY POSITION

Some people expect me to have a view on Kuda Tagwirei’s recent appointment. I do. I want to put it on record, for whatever it may be worth.

Last week, Hon. Willard Madzimbamuto an opposition MP and SDA member who was unlawfully recalled through a process involving Tagwirei, and which eventually led to CA3 warned against celebrating an appointment stained by political skulduggery. Madzimbamuto sees himself as a victim of Tagwirei’s anti people and pro corruption politics. He is. What many may not know is that Hon. Mutasa, also an SDA member, is another victim of these recalls carried out at the same time and to achieve a diabolical purpose.

The record is plain: in 2023, Tagwirei targeted two young opposition parliamentarians from his own church. Their removal was driven by malice, defied the expressed will of the people and served selfish interests. Yet some of the church members said nothing. We heard the silence.

I agree with Madzimbamuto that Tagwirei’s appointment rests on a malevolent campaign against his own ‘brothers’, ‘brothers’ who are now supposed to applaud him for his progress. I understand their anger, and why they find it contradictory, indeed, indefensible that certain fellow believers should celebrate his call to public office founded on nothing but the violence he administered to their interests. What is worse is that this taint is barely being discussed by those people. In fact, discussing it is taboo as it shows envy.

Nor are ZANU PF members themselves at ease with Tagwirei. His own Vice President did not attend his swearing in ceremony. The reasons are public. His own Vice President regards him as a political bottom feeder. I do not disagree with his Vice President but I’m not bold enough to make the point.

In other words, Tagwirei’s brand of politics is rejected on both sides: by his opponents and by people within his own party. He is odious to all save those directly benefiting from his largesse.

He is even odious to his church, whose hand he is trying to force in order that he may have a primary political constituency.

I agree with those disturbed by Tagwireyi’s antics. I too am disturbed.

For what it is worth, let me state plainly the pith of my opposition. One cannot claim the mantle of Christianity while practising politics that people across the divide find detestable and revolting. There’s, at a certain stage, a universally accepted wrong. To my mind, Tagwirei embodies that wrong.

I do not stand in the middle and so do not wish to conceal what some people may view as my bias. I have taken positions on what is happening in this country, and I speak from that perspective although I do so honestly. I disapprove of Tagwirei’s appointment and, more especially, of the process that brought it about. I am not blind to the possibility that this appointment may sound a death knell to his political career. In fact, I know it will. But I will not dwell on that now.

Neither will I dwell on the genius of appointing as Investments Minister someone who is on economic sanctions. In football terms, this is like picking a one legged player as your main striker

I also reject the claims of religious people, including some in my own church, who treat Tagwirei’s appointment as proof of divine favour. I regard such people as scoundrels and I call them out for what they are. The body of Christ does not celebrate political debauchery.

Many of my African friends, and journalists beyond the continent, have been asking me what on earth is happening in Zimbabwe due to a fast moving political story involving President Emmerson Mnangagwa and his Vice President, General Constantino Chiwenga. I have put together these videos to tell a long story in a short space of time.

There is a factional fight inside ZANUPF, between a faction that supports President Emmerson Mnangagwa and a faction that supports his deputy, Vice President General Constantino Chiwenga. It is about who succeeds President Mnangawa, General Chiwenga or Mnangagwa's heir apparent, Kudakwashe Tagwirei.
Constitutional changes were put in place to block Chiwenga and prolong Mnangagwa's term of office.

Things came to a head when businessman and tenderpreneur Wicknell Chivayo, who was very close to the President, died in a helicopter crash on the Wednesday before last. Some time back, Vice President Chiwenga had gone to a meeting of the ZANUPF Politburo, the body of senior officials that runs the party, to complain about a group of businessmen close to the President, accusing them of corruption. Wicknell Chivayo was one of them.

Vice President Chiwenga and his inner circle of military men particularly General Anselem Nhamo Sanyatwe did not attend Chivayo's funeral. Neither did he pass on his condolences, publicly or privately, as far as the media is aware.
President Mnangagwa, on the other hand, went to the Chivayo home, passed on his condolences, described Chivayo as a dear friend, and declared him a provincial hero.

In Zimbabwe, hero status is decided by the ruling party (read President), which is led by President Mnangagwa. Provincial hero is one step below the highest honour, national hero. Ordinarily, when the President visits the family of someone who has been declared a hero, or someone close to the party, he goes with his vice presidents. If they are not available, they visit before or after him. That did not happen this time.

Zimbabwe has two vice presidents, and only Vice President Kembo Mohadi went to pass on condolences after President Mnangagwa's visit. Vice President Chiwenga did not.

Last Friday, a Politburo meeting was aborted because of disagreements over what was to be discussed. The war veterans said to support Vice President Chiwenga opposed the changes that were going to be made, and it is reported that the Vice President himself challenged those amendments before the meeting started.

The amendments were meant to align ZANUPF's constitution to the country's constitutional amendments that gave the president an extra two years to his term of office among many other changes.

On Saturday, the inaugural presidential ball dinner was held in Harare at a church owned by Uebert Angel, an ally of the President. Once again, Vice President Chiwenga did not turn up, a powerful signal that he disagrees with the way things are being run.

Before the ball, the President had appointed another businessman very close to him, Kudakwashe Tagwirei, as Minister of Economic Development and Investment Promotion, after separating that portfolio from the Ministry of Finance and making the two stand alone.

At the ball, one of the people seated beside President Mnangagwa at the top table was Kudakwashe Tagwirei.

At the presidential ball dinner, Patrick Chinamasa, a senior ZANUPF official and former finance minister under both the late President Robert Mugabe and President Emmerson Mnangagwa, presented a prize to Vice President Kembo Mohadi.

What he said was instructive. He told the gathering that the prize was being awarded for loyalty to the President.
“I want to thank you for your loyalty to the President. It is very important for a Vice President to remain loyal to their leader. I commend you for demonstrating that loyalty, and I thank you very much for it,” he said.

For those who read politics, the message was clear. This was not really about Vice President Mohadi. It was a signal that Vice President Constantino Chiwenga is disloyal, while Vice President Mohadi is loyal. Mohadi’s response was telling, he gave a smile and a shy laughter. He understood the message being send.

This morning in Harare, as you can see in this video, Tagwirei was formally sworn in as a government minister. Vice President Chiwenga did not attend. Only Vice President Mohadi was there.

There is serious disharmony in Zimbabwe's ruling party, and it has never been as bad as it is now. In the past, they would have their arguments and still be seen together in public. That is no longer the case. The centre can't hold.

Some might ask why the Vice President would have been expected at the ball. The dinner was raising money for the upcoming ZANUPF conference, which every member of the party leadership must attend.

The fact that the Vice President was in the country and still stayed away shows, once again, that there is a problem. Mouthpieces for the different factions have come out with their own explanations, but the fact of the matter is that Zimbabwe is now in a deep leadership crisis because of this.

The tragedy is that Zimbabwe has no opposition. Some of it was co-opted, and some of it destroyed itself. At a time when an opposition would be expected to take advantage of the divisions in the ruling party, there is nobody to do so. Zimbabweans are being forced to choose one faction of the ruling party over another. That is the story in a nutshell.

[Jacob Ngarivhume @NgarivhumeJ]

Today, let us pray for Zim and the Church. Chivayo boasts that he has the country’s leadership and financial systems “kuti dzvii.” Tragically, much of the Church has also been captured. But the true Church must arise and reject the #CORRUPT gifts. The just shall live by faith

I have just spoken to Mbuso Fuzwayo of Ibhetshu Likazulu, and he confirmed to me that he was approached by Sengezo Tshabangu’s lawyer, Nqobani Sithole, to front the constitutional application.

He told me that he was not aware of the nefarious agenda behind it at the time. According to him, he was informed that the final application was still being polished and would later be brought to him to sign on behalf of himself and his organisation.

However, Mbuso Fuzwayo made it clear to me that he will not be signing the application. He has since become aware of the broader scheme behind it — that the case was designed to go to court under the guise of challenging the 2030 agenda, but with a predetermined outcome ensuring its dismissal.
That dismissal would then be used as a political and legal basis to justify and legitimise an unconstitutional extension of President Mnangagwa’s term to 2030.

This revelation adds credibility to the growing concern that the courts are being used not as instruments of justice, but as tools to manufacture legality for political ambitions and forced consent.

It is now clear that after losing the political argument for 2030 in the Court of Public Opinion, the drivers of this agenda have now turned to the courts as their next weapon. Their strategy is to secure a ruling that, while unconstitutional, will still carry the weight and appearance of legality. Once obtained, that ruling will be used to justify and advance their political project of extending President Mnangagwa’s term to 2030.

This tactic mirrors previous manoeuvres where the judiciary was manipulated to produce outcomes that served political ends rather than justice. It represents a dangerous trend in which the law is twisted to manufacture legitimacy, eroding public trust in the courts and turning them into instruments of political expediency rather than constitutional guardianship.

I am not an extrovert. I don’t drink. I go to church. But in the modern church, you make friends if you have something to give. Even if you give, most church recipients have a feeling of entitlement. They feel it’s their prayers that have been answered. They feel it’s God who has given them. And they say it in your face without regard to the sacrifices you have made to get to a position where you can give. In most cases when they borrow, they have no intention to repay. That explains why in Zimbabwe, a predominantly Christian country, a person like Mr Strive Masiyiwa who has sent hundreds of thousands of kids to school receives attacks and abuse instead of honor. Like he correctly said to me last week, in Zimbabwe you are certain to get more accolades than you deserve after your demise. Not during your lifetime.

For an introvert like me, networking becomes very difficult. You have to start very early. And you start by putting your best foot forward every time in order to get noticed and to prove that you are a worthy connection. I made some of my career defining connections when I was at University. Beatrice Mtetwa became an acquaintance because of her act of charity. But my connection to Justice DAB Robinson was earned. I worked hard for it and I earned an ambassador who always sang my praises in places I could not access at the time. Those praises would keep some doors open for me, some doors I hadn’t even knocked.

So I was in year one at the Faculty of Law in 1989. I was studying for an LLBS. We were the first stream to do an LLBS outright. They used to do a BL as a first degree, followed by a one year post graduate LLBS. One of the subjects we took was Statutory Interpretation. Our Lecturer was DAB Robinson, then a judge of the High Court. I am not sure whether he was on the bench at the time. But he certainly was in 1993. We were taking this subject alongside our post graduate 4th year Seniors.

One day after our exams, we were standing in the “Intellectual Circle” in front of the Faculty. Justice Robinson was there, talking to the 4th years about how badly the 1st years performed in relation to one of the questions. I distinctly remember my brother Elisha Moyo was there. Always fearless and vibrant. The genius Professor Madhuku would have been there too .. I now can’t remember. I did not agree with them. But the guys were so learned, a first year guy’s argument would have been drowned out. I decided to go to my room, write a letter to Justice Robinson, put it under his door, and leave for my rural home, kuminda mirefu kwaMahinduka, the area between Chiwundura and Lalapanzi. I did exactly that. The judge responded. The delivery of his letter to my residence in New Complex 2 was returned. So he went to Student records and found my rural address. He posted the letter with the intention that it would get to me before Christmas. And it did. I will post it below. Please read it. An important relationship was birthed. I am sure, though I don’t know for a fact that Justice Robinson had put in a good word for me with Harry Kantor at Kantor & Immerman. After I qualified, I would help the judge with a lot of research on corporate law cases. He is the one who told me that a good corporate lawyer must always have a set of Henoschberg on the South African Companies Act in his library. So Justice Robinson was one of the most important contacts I earned at a very early stage. From the start, I was sure to always get respectful audience from senior High Court Judges. The lesson is to leverage on your strengths to get noticed and to make important relationships.

Dr Nkosana Moyo continues to be proved right in his assertion that Zimbabweans are not fighting for change, they are fighting for inclusion on the feeding trough.

I have spent the majority of my journalism career exposing corruption, I have won multiple awards for this particular work including the UN International Anti-Corruption Excellence Award.

I have been jailed THREE times for exposing ZANUPF corruption and even sang about corruption in an effort to conscientise our society.

What I find crazy is that when citizens legitimately ask why opposition election agents were not paid after those citizens mostly in the diaspora contributed towards this effort, ghost accounts come to attack those of us who give them a voice.

Why do you want to intimidate a journalist from asking these questions on behalf of those who contributed?

WERE ALL OPPOSITION ELECTION AGENTS PAID?
If the answer is NO, is it not legitimate for those who contributed funds towards this effort to ask where their money went to?

Zimbabwe is now a corrupt society, VERY CORRUPT!
Yet many pretend ti be clean and when exposed they throw the ZANUPF agent card or the sell out card.

Sadly if the corruption is done by your side, you suddenly label us ZANUPF for asking the right questions which any trained journalist should be asking.

Why do you want this to be swept under the carpet, do you know something that we don’t know?
Why would you be worried writing essays if no money was stolen.

Why do you lie that all election agents were paid in order to silence those who are asking after donating funds when many agents are publicly saying that they were not paid.

Public funds require transparency and accountability to those who donated them, at least by showing that all election agents were paid.
Is that too hard an ask, of course it would be if something is being hidden!
