  • Allegations: Mliswa is cited as speaking on behalf of Mnangagwa and is urging that Chiwenga be reported to the Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission (ZACC) for being an informer and benefiting from corruption, including being the “godfather of the Chinese companies in Zimbabwe.”
  • Succession: The speaker asserts that Chiwenga has no possible way out and that Mnangagwa is not considering him as a successor, instead favoring someone like Tagwirei.
