Gambakwe media sources confirmed that Zimbabwe Generals left the ZANU-PF conference soon after informing Mnangagwa of their decision against ED2030.
The Zimbabwe military became the last line of defence after Mnangagwa backers had pushed through a plan to extend Mnangagwa’s term to 2034.
The Standard newspaper reports that there were a number of scenario’s developed by Mnangagwa backers for extending his rule at the Ministry of Legal and Parliamentary Affairs, namely:
– A 2030 two year term extension
– A 2034 third term scenario
– A 2038 scenario which includes a 10 year moratorium on elections, including keeping Tshabangu in Parliament.
All these plans were opposed by the military.
