WATCH LIVE: Kasukuwere Working With Mnangagwa Against Chiwenga – Mawarire

WATCH LIVE as Gambakwe unpacks the recent allegations made about South Africa based Zimbabwe opposition leader, Savior Kasukuwere.

Jelousy Mawarire claims that he has proven the anonymous “Bete” X handle (linked to @Bete263) belongs to Saviour Kasukuwere, with sign-in credentials tied to Kasukuwere’s South African phone number ending in 993, supported by screenshots of an X password reset prompt and a matching WhatsApp contact. This accusation is embedded in a longer personal account where he labels Kasukuwere a “muroyi mukuru” (major wizard) and alleges that in 2018, Kasukuwere—sent back to Zimbabwe by President Emmerson Mnangagwa—sabotaged an MDC-A/NPF alliance by hiring thugs (coordinated by Jim Kunaka) to attack him at a Margolis Plaza meeting and break his legs to destroy the alliance document he held; the plot was foiled when his wife overheard Kasukuwere’s instructions on a speakerphone call (“batai Mawarire mutyore gumbo”), leading to a dramatic escape aided by armed allies Mai Mahoka and Beatrice Nyamupinga, a subsequent phone confrontation where Kasukuwere denied involvement and blamed his brother Dan’s similar voice, and Kasukuwere fleeing via the diplomats’ lane at the airport to avoid further face-off. He claims to have studied Kasukuwere for years while feigning naivety and vows to keep exposing him until he “turns to God,” framing the Bete revelations as part of ongoing political battles involving figures like Jonathan Moyo and Glen Mpani.

Key allegations from its recent activity include:

• Claiming Minnie Baloyi (wife of VP Constantino Chiwenga) runs a “parallel structure” in Military Intelligence (MID), bypassing command chains to recruit junior ranks for her husband’s ambitions, potentially plotting against President Emmerson Mnangagwa or related power plays.
• Accusing activist Jealousy Mawarire of operating as a political contractor or “pipeline” for introductions and rebranding, no longer in Zimbabwe since early 2025, and being involved in transactional opposition activities rather than principled activism.
• Alleging @LynneStactia (Lynne) abandoned opposition credibility, became a funded weapon against it via an affair-linked operation (initially involving Mawarire but later bypassing him), with direct ties to Baloyi/MID for narrative shaping.
