Just in:
Temba Mliswa was reportedly mobilising a few thugs yesterday to Booo VP Chiwenga as a protest against his yesterday’s speech. Some sources say VP Chiwenga might not be given a platform to speak today. This conference has exposed serious divisions within the ruling party, with the majority of Zimbabweans sympathising with the General.
In my opinion, ED sponsored attacks on General Chiwenga. @TembaMliswa has been attacking the General for a long time now, & he even attacked him for his brilliant speech he delivered yesterday at their conference. Instead of wiping Temba into line, what does ED do ? He appoints him into senate & brought him closer to the eating table. Saka anemweya warigiyoni mu party yavo ndiyani ? It’s ED, simple!
When members assemble for an event as momentous as the 23rd ZANU PF National People's Conference, the expectation is singular and solemn: to articulate policy, to outline programmes, and to chart the developmental trajectory.
It is not, and has never been, a forum for the exhumation of settled matters or the resurrection of staid grievances long disposed of by the Party through appropriate channels.
For the Party, the Conference is a strategic pedestal, a showcase to the nation and the world of a united, disciplined, and progressive revolutionary movement. Outside Congress, it is the highest theatre of ideological clarity and purpose.
It is therefore alarming, how at a time when the country is registering positive indicators as so demonstrated by President Mnangagwa's address which focused on production and development, one could craft a speech so corrosive and so discordant with the national mood as that read by VP Chiwenga.
Such a contradiction in messaging from the Presidency itself raises serious questions of discipline and coordination.
If indeed it is Charamba penning speeches that fundamentally contradict each other from the same Presidency, then he has ceased to be an asset and has become a constant and existential danger to the coherence of the State.
If he is not, the team around VP Chiwenga must be held culpable and be reconstituted for the sheer dereliction of allowing such a shocking and ill-timed diatribe on a platform engineered for unity and developmental focus.
President Mnangagwa was exemplary. His was a mature, measured and modernist speech anchored on national development, economic consolidation and livelihoods. That is what the people, true owners of the Party are interested in.
Not theatrical genuflections in public over matters that have already been addressed by the appropriate organs, and which, if they still require ventilation, have alternative and more appropriate internal platforms from which to be addressed.
It is precisely such theatrics that provoke some of us to posit that if one finds himself so irreconcilably at odds with the prevailing order, would not honour demand that he, as a matter of principle, stand down?
I have been informed that ED allies are proposing an urgent disciplinary meeting to discipline general Chiwenga following his popular speech today. They claim that the speech undermined the authority of the president and is causing divisions with the ZANU PF. ED allies are not happy, they are saying that such issues are internal, and are supposed to be discussed in their internal meetings like politburo and not public platforms.
Zvakunakidza manje.
Makandituka nezuro but Dr Tagwirei is on his way to the presidency! Look at how ED is demoting General Chiwenga’s allies! Dr Obert Mpofu has been demoted to a useless organ called “The council of Elders” & varakashi are calling that promotion 😎 Politically, ED is far ahead of the general. In a few weeks, Dr Tagwirei will be your new Vice President!
Musandipikise!
Dear @nickmangwana
You treated this billionaire as a King when he visited Zimbabwe a few months ago! What happened ? You need to stop corruption ndosaka vachitiza pamwe pane akatokumbira chioko muhomwe! We indeed need new leaders!
This is another indirect attack on the general! The fight is still ongoing, we are all waiting to see the results after their congress, we might have another November 2017 loading!
Hey little man, this is not a prophecy, Chief Charumbira had his issues and the opposition from other chiefs since 2023 & remember he was once accused of rape! 9/10 chief’s passed a vote of no confidence against him in Masvingo a few months ago! Hapana chiporofita apa, Java is just a politician! Stop it!
PROPHET PASSION JAVA STRIKES AGAIN!
Ndikunzwei futi muchiti he’s not a TRUE MAN OF GOD?
ANOTHER PROPHECY FULFILLED! Prophet Passion Java has once again left people talking! @prophetpassion
IWE WOSVORA?
Ukaona zvadai so, meeting after meeting just know kuti pane varikurara with one eye open! A lot will happen this week! It’s gonna be a long week! Will the general attend ? Will he boycott? Well, let’s see!
