In the video “WATCH LIVE: Mnangagwa Responds To Chiwenga Dossier,” which aired on October 8, 2025, Gambakwe covers a range of topics primarily focused on Zimbabwean politics and current events.
Here’s a summary of the key points discussed:
- Chiwenga Dossier and Mnangagwa’s Response [00:27]: Gambakwe discusses a dossier released by Chiwenga that implicates several individuals, including Kudakwashe Tagwirei, in criminal activities. Mnangagwa’s government has responded by calling the dossier “fictitious,” “criminal,” and “defamatory,” warning citizens against spreading it due to cyber security laws. Gambakwe also contrasts this current dossier with a previous one from March/April, noting differences in the individuals named and the specific accusations. He states that the current dossier contains “prosecutable information” that could lead to arrests if presented to the Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission (ZACC).
- Political Tensions and Power Dynamics [01:00]: The ongoing power struggle between Mnangagwa and Chiwenga is a central theme. Gambakwe highlights Mnangagwa’s reluctance to sleep outside the country when Chiwenga is acting president, suggesting a fear of potential arrests of implicated individuals, especially Tagwirei, during his absence. He references past instances where acting presidents have made significant decisions, such as Chiwenga ordering the arrest of CCC protesters and Joshua Nkomo signing the Econet license when Robert Mugabe was away.
- Key Individuals Mentioned in Dossiers [03:00]: Gambakwe lists various individuals, indicating their inclusion or exclusion from different versions of the dossiers, and the shifting political alignments within ZANU-PF. These names include:
- Kudakwashe Tagwirei
- Collins Mnangagwa, Sean Mnangagwa, Emerson Mnangagwa Jr.
- Joakim Chiwayo (G6)
- Ash Tatfuman, Delish Nguwaya, Dr. George Manyanya, Isaac Moyo, Tendai Matanga, Energy Mutodi, Everton Mlala, Ezra Chazamira, Innocent Banda, Julian Moyo, Lovemore Madhuku, Mambochimona, Mike Madira, Monica Mutsvangwa, Munashe Shava, Nelson Chamisa, Oppah Muchinguri, Owen Ngube, Temba Mliswa, Stephen Mutamba, Webster Shamu.
- Allegations of Drug Dealing [06:04]: Both dossiers mention drug dealing in Zimbabwe. The first implicated Mnangagwa’s children, while the second suggests a licensed individual is abusing their license to import narcotics. Gambakwe emphasizes that a license to import narcotics could be used for prosecution. He notes that those supplying drugs are believed to be within the medical field.
- Soccer Players Arrested [07:10]: Gambakwe reports on the denial of bail for unnamed soccer players involved in drug-related cases, contrasting it with others who are granted bail, implying a lack of connections for these young players. He highlights that the owners of some top soccer teams, including those of Scotland and Simba Bhora, are also facing arrest for alleged state capture, fraud, and corruption, with Scott being accused of gold dealing.
- Death of General Victor Mujeri [13:54]: The passing of Brigadier General Victor Mujeri Mpandaekwa at 75 years old is discussed. His burial is expected on Friday or Saturday, and Gambakwe anticipates he will be declared a national hero. This event is seen as a crucial moment where Mnangagwa and Chiwenga might appear together, potentially revealing shifts in their power dynamic.
- Zimbabwe Exemption Permit (ZEP) Extension [15:37]: The Zimbabwean Exemption Permit has been extended for 18 months until May 2027, ensuring holders are safe from deportation from South Africa.
- Mliswa’s Removal and Masvingo Politics [23:35]: Mutodi (likely Temba Mliswa, referred to interchangeably) has been removed as budget chair due to tweets against Matanga. Masvingo Province is highlighted as the only province that has not accepted the “ED 2030” agenda, indicating potential political maneuvering.
- Medical Outbreak [20:22]: A contagious skin condition affecting children aged 5 and under in Kariba and Bulawayo, presenting as blisters, has been spreading since November.
- Gambakwe’s Political Ambitions [44:27]: Gambakwe openly declares his intention to permanently move to Zimbabwe and launch his “Gambakwe 2028” presidential campaign. He outlines his eight-pillar plan for national renewal and prosperity, which includes:
- $1500 tax-free income [46:58]
- Tourism-based economy [46:58]
- Homecoming [46:58]
- Military-planned city [50:49]
- 160 new towns [46:58]
- High-speed rail [46:58]
- Only 8 ministries [46:58]
- Declaring an amnesty [46:43] for those accused of corruption.
He criticizes Nelson Chamisa for not being proactive or having a clear plan and Chiwenga for primarily focusing on arrests without a broader economic strategy.
- Business and Infrastructure [39:23]: Updates include the ongoing renovation of Buffalo Range Airport to boost tourism.
Mnangagwa has responded to a Dossier that is being circulated and said Zimbabweans should disregard the document as it is not an official document. Anyone who circulates the document to be arrested.
