Zimbabwe Vice President, Constantino Chiwenga has received anointing ahead of the announcement that is expected before Friday this week.
Mnangagwa has had a closed door meeting with Mozambique and Zambia and is expected to meet all the SADC Presidents by the end of the week.
The Zimbabwe National Army has chosen an approach, which will be kick started by a demonstration.
Analysis
Focus on the bigger picture and the key players. The process is underway and is now irreversible. Chiwenga has been widely accepted as Zimbabwe’s new leader, with the military underwriting the process.
What is currently happening is the setting up of structures and identifying possible legal issues. A leadership vacuum will not be allowed. Mnangagwa likely to step down.
As ED2030 rhetoric continues, Mnangagwa likely to stage a fight back. No one on Mnangagwa’ side.
Chiwenga has remained silent.
