WATCH LIVE as Gambakwe unpacks the latest developments in the succession battle between Mnangagwa And Chiwenga as Temba Mliswa, who is aligned to Mnangagwa, claims that Zimbabwe Vice President Chiwengawas receiving intelligence reports that were meant for Mnangagwa from his wife, who was recently removed by Mnangagwa from MID.
Colonel Minnie Baloyi’s continued position in Military Intelligence (MID) creates a serious conflict of interest because she is married to Vice President Chiwenga.
Chiwenga now holds a full-time political role with clear ambitions, making his wife’s access to sensitive intelligence untenable.
A major risk example: any adverse intelligence report about Chiwenga would have to pass through his own wife, compromising MID’s integrity.
Her removal from MID is necessary to eliminate this institutional risk — not driven by personal hatred or political attack.
No leader, including Chiwenga, should be treated as untouchable or above scrutiny; demanding accountability is healthy for democracy.
Shielding politicians like deities is part of why the nation keeps being disappointed.
Responses to Temba Mliswa included:
- Why doesn’t the same logic apply to President Mnangagwa’s son in the military?
- References to Sean Mnangagwa or other family ties in security roles.
- Claims that Temba is politicizing the army or trying to cause division for factional reasons (linked to succession battles or “2030 madness”
Key Events For Today
- MTN Zambia has made history by becoming the first African mobile network operator to successfully complete field testing of Starlink’s Direct to Cell (D2C) service. This technology allows standard LTE smartphones to connect directly to satellites—effectively using them as “cell towers in space”—without needing specialized hardware or firmware updates. The trial successfully completed a satellite-based data session (internet browsing) and the first-ever fintech transaction via satellite in Zambia. The connection used MTN’s licensed spectrum and Starlink’s low-Earth orbit (LEO) satellites, requiring no conventional ground towers. : The fintech test was conducted through the MTN MoMo platform, proving the service can extend financial services to the most remote areas. A commercial service is anticipated in the coming weeks, pending final regulatory approval from the Zambia Information and Communication Technology Authority (ZICTA).
- Initial Supported Apps: At launch, the service will support:
- WhatsApp voice and video calls.
- MTN Apps: MoMo and MyMTN apps.
- Utility Apps: Navigation and weather applications.
