ZANU PF POWER STRUGGLE TURNS DEADLY AS RIVALS CLASH

Zimbabwe is facing a dangerous power struggle within the ruling Zanu PF party. This fight for control is getting more intense and violent. It all started after the removal of Robert Mugabe as president in 2017. Now, President Emmerson Mnangagwa and his deputy, Constantino Chiwenga, are locked in a bitter battle for power.
Mnangagwa has been the leader since Mugabe’s removal. But Chiwenga and his supporters are challenging his rule. The fight between these two men has become fierce and brutal. War veterans, led by Blessed Geza, are openly demanding that Mnangagwa must step down. They accuse him of being corrupt and incompetent. They say he has failed to lead the country properly.
Chiwenga has been making indirect criticisms of Mnangagwa. He talks about corruption as a national security threat. Many believe this is a way of attacking Mnangagwa without directly saying it. The tension between the two men is building up. The power struggle has reached a critical point.
A shocking incident happened last night. Several business premises linked to Mnangagwa’s allies were firebombed. Cars were set on fire as a warning to those who support Mnangagwa. The targets included well-known businessmen like Kuda Tagwirei, Wicknell Chivayo, Tino Machakaire, and John Mangudya. The attacks are seen as a sign of the deepening crisis within Zanu PF.
One of the most shocking incidents involved Wicknell Chivayo. Recently, his in-laws were robbed at gunpoint. The robbers took almost US$75,000, which was part of the US$125,000 he paid as lobola for his wife, Lucy Lulu Muteke. The attack was carried out by armed men in a brutal and mysterious way. Some people say it was a warning to Chivayo because of his close ties to Mnangagwa. Chivayo is often seen as a symbol of cronyism and corruption under Mnangagwa’s rule.
Insiders believe that these attacks are more than just random acts of violence. They are political messages to warn Mnangagwa’s allies. There have also been reports of mysterious break-ins and other forms of intimidation. It is clear that the fight for power within Zanu PF is becoming more dangerous.
The rivalry between Mnangagwa and Chiwenga is threatening to tear the party apart. As both sides push for control, Zimbabweans are left worried about what will happen next. The fear is that the country could sink into chaos if the struggle continues.
It is also clear that Mnangagwa’s leadership is losing support from within his own party. The demands for him to step down are growing louder. Even those who once supported him are now questioning his ability to govern. Chiwenga’s camp is gaining more support as people become frustrated with Mnangagwa’s rule.
Many Zimbabweans are worried about the future. They fear that the power struggle could lead to more violence and instability. The firebombing incident has sent shockwaves through the nation. It shows that the battle for power has reached a deadly level.
Mnangagwa’s future as president is now uncertain. With Chiwenga openly challenging him, it is clear that Zanu PF is more divided than ever before. The fear of violence and bloodshed is growing as both sides prepare to fight for control.
Zimbabweans are watching closely, waiting to see what will happen next. Will Mnangagwa manage to hold onto power, or will Chiwenga take over? Whatever happens, the outcome will shape the future of Zimbabwe. The battle for leadership is no longer just political; it has turned into a deadly fight that threatens the peace and stability of the nation.
