Here’s a summary of what Gambakwe is saying:
- Chiwenga’s Anti-Corruption Fight [01:12]: Gambakwe reports that Temba Mliswa views Chiwenga’s fight against corruption as not genuine, but rather politically motivated. Mliswa alleges that Chiwenga himself is corrupt and should be investigated for the assets he has accumulated as a former soldier.
- Accountability of Leaders [02:24]: Mliswa, as conveyed by Gambakwe, emphasizes that leaders, including Chiwenga, should declare their assets and explain how they acquired them. He questions how someone can be a champion against corruption if they are not “clean” themselves [02:54].
- Lack of Action on Corruption Reports [03:18]: Gambakwe highlights Mliswa’s point that corruption has already been investigated in Zimbabwe, with reports available, but action has not been taken. Mliswa questions why Chiwenga, as a government official, is not pushing bodies like ZACC to act on these reports.
- Policy Violations [03:52]: Mliswa also points to corruption through the violation of national policies and legislation, citing an example of 2,000 Chinese individuals allegedly brought into the country against existing laws. Gambakwe suggests Mliswa is implying Chiwenga’s involvement in this.
- Political Maneuvering within ZANU-PF [04:52]: Gambakwe discusses the upcoming ZANU-PF annual people’s conference and the “ED 2030” agenda. He suggests that those pushing this agenda are preparing to “smear campaign” Chiwenga by portraying his anti-corruption stance as a bid for power.
- Mliswa’s Role [06:23]: Gambakwe explains that Mliswa, not being part of ZANU-PF, has the freedom to speak out against Chiwenga without fear of repercussions.
