WATCH LIVE as Gambakwe unpacks the allegations by UK based Zimbabwean investigative journalist, Reason Wafawarova, who claims Thabani Mpofu, Chamisa’s lawyer in the 2018 court case against Mnangagwa, was paid $1 Million as part of $20 Million that was spent on planning for Mnangagwa’s 3rd term extension legal process.
Reason Wafawarova’s investigation into the “2030 Project” (CAB3), detailing the alleged political, legal, and financial coordination to extend President Mnangagwa’s term.
The Strategic Framework
- Concept: Rooted in “South–South Cooperation” (an alliance of Masvingo, Midlands, and Matabeleland) to maintain power and counter Mashonaland dominance.
- Inception: Discussions began in early 2024 at Precabe Farm (Kwekwe) within the “kitchen cabinet.”
- The Goal: To extend the presidential term to 2030 via Parliament, avoiding a public referendum.
Key Players & Their Roles
- Emmerson Mnangagwa: The President and primary beneficiary of the extension.
- Professor Jonathan Moyo: Identified as the “chief convenor” and strategic mastermind.
- Canaan Dube: Allegedly coordinated the legal framework and managed the project’s US$20 million budget.
- Advocate Thabani Mpofu: Reportedly drafted the foundational legal position paper on bypassing term limits; later referred counsel to the “test cases.”
- Method Ndlovu & Nqobani Sithole: Legal counsel for the judicial “test case” whose public financial dispute exposed the project’s internal friction.
- Mbuso Fuzwayo (Ibhetshu LikaZulu): Provided the organizational front for the Supreme Court “test case.”
- K. Tagwirei & F. Charumbira: Linked to the “Karanga Hegemony” and long-term regional power networks.
Financial Payouts & Discrepancies
- Total Project Fund: US$20 million allocated for legal and strategic consultancy.
- Thabani Mpofu: Reportedly paid a “seven-figure” (US$1M+) fee for the initial legal position paper.
- The Litigation Budget: US$2 million was the expected budget for the Supreme Court “test case.”
- Method Ndlovu: Received approximately $225,000, leading to a fallout when he realized he was “short-changed” relative to the US$2M expectation.
