WATCH LIVE as Gambakwe look at the threats by Christopher Mutsvangwa to expose Chiwenga over what he termed secret meetings held by the army before the 2017 coup.
Mutsvangwa told the Standard newspaper that he was very involved in the 2017 processes and knew the allegiances. He told the newspaper Chiwenga had secret meetings after the people went on the streets and there had been no secret pact that Chiwenga will take over after Mnangagwa completed his constitutional terms.
This is the second time that Mutsvangwa is speaking out on Mnangagwa’ succession. 2 weeks ago, Mutsvangwa told NRTV that Mnangagwa ‘succession will be decided through congress.
It is widely believed among Zimbabwe that Chiwenga, who was CDF at the time, and Mnangagwa, had an agreement that Chiwenga would take over after Mnangagwa served one term. However Mnangagwa supporters are now going around the country mobilising for Mnangagwa to extend his term to 2030.
Please watch the video above this post for more details.
