NEWS | 'Cultural Ignorance' claim as Zanu PF fires back with fierce defense of First Family

HARARE — Zanu PF has launched a forceful counteroffensive against Bulawayo Mayor David Coltart, accusing him of misunderstanding African family structures and waging what the ruling party describes as a sustained campaign against President Emmerson Mnangagwa's family.

In a response that framed the controversy as a coordinated political assault on the First Family, Zanu PF Director of Information Farai Marapira rejected allegations and insinuations surrounding gifts associated with members of the Mnangagwa family, describing the criticism as both culturally misplaced and politically motivated.

"The attacks on the First Family are very well coordinated, and there is a clear pattern and structure to them," Marapira said.

"It is unfortunate that the latest attack by David Coltart exposes a degree of cultural ignorance in his criticism."

The response follows comments by Coltart questioning displays of wealth linked to a recent high-profile wedding and broader concerns he has raised regarding governance, public expenditure, and alleged corruption within Zimbabwe's political and business establishment.

But Marapira's intervention sought to shift the debate away from monetary figures and onto what he said was a fundamental misunderstanding of African social and family traditions.

In remarks that cut to the heart of the controversy, Marapira argued that Coltart had incorrectly interpreted references to donations made by the President's "sons", insisting the term extended far beyond the narrow definition commonly applied in Western societies.

"When he speaks of 'sons', he appears to believe that a person's sons are only those born to him and his wife," Marapira said.

"We are Africans, and we believe in Ubuntu."

The ruling party official said contributions attributed to the President's sons reflected a collective effort by members of the wider Mnangagwa family network, including relatives spread across Zimbabwe and neighboring countries.

"Therefore, when people say that the President's sons made a donation, they are referring to the sons of the entire clan coming together to contribute towards the wedding," he said.

"These include the sons of President Mnangagwa's brothers and extended family members."

Marapira said critics had seized on figures without considering the scale of the family structure involved.

"If you consider the number of people involved, it becomes clear that the contribution from each individual was actually quite modest," he said.

"The Mnangagwa clan extends across Zimbabwe and Zambia, among other places."

The comments represented a direct rebuttal to suggestions that donations associated with the First Family should automatically be viewed through a political or financial lens.

Instead, Marapira portrayed the contributions as a manifestation of communal responsibility and family solidarity, arguing that critics were stripping the gesture of its cultural context in order to advance a political narrative.

"Any African family can relate to this," he said.

"If you consider the sons within your own clan coming together to contribute towards a family occasion, you will recognise that this was more a demonstration of Ubuntu, family unity, and togetherness."

"It serves as an example of the importance of coming together as a family and how, when many people contribute, something substantial can be achieved."

While Coltart has publicly called for greater scrutiny of wealth, public procurement practices and financial accountability, Marapira's response focused almost entirely on defending the First Family against what he characterised as deliberate attempts to personalise broader political debates.

In his most pointed remarks, the Zanu PF spokesman accused critics of weaponising a family event to target the president.
