The 2030 Agenda It is stated that the 2030 agenda is not about President Mnangagwa simply wanting to stay in power, but about the ZANU-PF party needing time to fulfill its manifesto. Major events like Cyclone Idai and the COVID-19 pandemic are cited as reasons why the government’s original plans were delayed, justifying a need to extend the delivery timeline to 2030. The speaker notes that the 2030 agenda will move from the cabinet to parliament to be debated, and that the majority in parliament will ultimately determine its success.
Kuda Tagwirei Mliswa identifies Kuda Tagwirei as a preferred natural successor to the presidency once the current generation of leaders steps down. Tagwirei is described as someone who is already wealthy and seasoned in business across sectors like energy, mining, and health, suggesting he would focus on turning around the economy rather than personal enrichment. The speaker refers to him as a traditional sponsor of ZANU-PF for many years, noting his long-standing loyalty and financial support to the party. Mention is also made of his work in the health sector, specifically the Arundel Hospital, where people reportedly receive treatment for free.
