ZANU PF POWER FIGHT: A STORM IS COMING
Zimbabwe is in trouble again. There is a big fight happening inside ZANU PF. It is about who will be in charge in the future. President Emmerson Mnangagwa wants to stay in power until 2030, but Vice President Constantino Chiwenga and war veterans are saying no. The fight is getting worse every day, and it looks like things could go very wrong, just like in November 2017 when there was a coup.
Right now, Mnangagwa’s friends are fighting back. Information Minister Jenfan Muswere is now speaking out to defend the president. Many of Mnangagwa’s allies are scared because Chiwenga and the war veterans are attacking them. These attacks are making the government and business people very worried. Everyone is watching to see what will happen next.
At the center of this big fight is Mnangagwa’s plan to stay in power for a third term. Some people think he should step down, but he wants to stay. There is also talk about corruption, nepotism, and cronyism. Many powerful people in ZANU PF are helping their family members and friends get rich while ordinary Zimbabweans continue to suffer. This is making a lot of people angry, and Chiwenga is using that anger to fight Mnangagwa.
Chiwenga and the war veterans do not want Mnangagwa to continue ruling. They believe he has failed, and they think it is their turn to lead. They remember that they helped remove Robert Mugabe in 2017, and now they are thinking about doing the same thing again. Some people in ZANU PF say the country is going back to the same situation that led to the coup six years ago.
Mnangagwa is not sitting back. He is making sure that his loyal friends speak up for him. He is also making sure that the police, army, and intelligence are watching everything. He knows that if he does nothing, he could be removed just like Mugabe. But Chiwenga is a former army general, and he still has strong support in the military. This makes the situation even more dangerous.
People in Zimbabwe are watching all this with fear. They know that when ZANU PF fights, it is the ordinary people who suffer. In 2017, many people thought that removing Mugabe would bring change, but nothing changed. Now, the same people who helped remove Mugabe are fighting again. Many Zimbabweans are tired of the same politicians fighting while the country suffers.
The economy is getting worse. Prices are going up every day, and people are struggling to survive. But instead of fixing these problems, ZANU PF leaders are busy fighting each other. This shows that they do not care about the people. They only care about power and making themselves rich.
Some people are asking if there will be another coup. The truth is, nobody knows for sure. But one thing is clear: there is a big problem inside ZANU PF. If Mnangagwa and Chiwenga do not solve their issues, things could get very bad. The war veterans are already warning that Zimbabwe is heading in the same direction as 2017.
History has shown that when there is a power struggle in ZANU PF, the people suffer the most. It happened in 2008 when there was election violence. It happened in 2017 when soldiers took over the streets. Now, it looks like it might happen again. Zimbabweans need to be careful and prepare for anything.
Mnangagwa wants to hold on to power. Chiwenga wants to take it from him. The war veterans are choosing sides. The government is shaking. The business community is worried. And the people? The people are just trying to survive.
Zimbabwe has been here before. The question now is: will history repeat itself?
