As retired Lieutenant General Winston Sigauke Mapuranga, I say this with the weight of the liberation war on my shoulders Mnangagwa has damaged ZANU-PF beyond repair more than Mugabe ever did. ZANU-PF is no longer serving the purpose of its liberation struggle it has become a vehicle for personal power consolidation rather than the people’s revolution we fought for.
What Mnangagwa Is Doing to ZANU-PF. Mnangagwa is risking everything to block General Chiwenga from ascending to the presidency. This is not just political maneuvering this is tyranny.
What Has General Chiwenga Done to Deserve This?
Nothing but loyalty and sacrifice. Here’s what General Chiwenga did for Mnangagwa:
🔶On November 14, 2017, Chiwenga walked into a television studio in military uniform, surrounded by the full command of the Zimbabwe Defense Forces, and read the statement that changed Zimbabwe’s history.
🔶He put his life, career, freedom, and the lives of every general behind him on the line for ONE man Emmerson Mnangagwa.
🔶He delivered the 2017 transition at personal cost that is now becoming fully visible.
🔶He has been the frontrunner in the succession race since 2017, yet Mnangagwa treats him like an enemy
General Chiwenga risked everything for Mnangagwa, and now Mnangagwa is repaying that sacrifice by orchestrating what he calls “CAB3” madness a coordinated plot to block General Chiwenga from ascending to the presidency.
The Bottom Line. The army built ZANU-PF, and the army will block this power grab plot. Silence in the face of these constitutional violations carries lasting consequences, especially for those who once fought for democratic governance . Mnangagwa is eroding the very foundation of the republic that is not liberation that is tyranny.
The liberation struggle legacy remains a powerful force, and efforts to reshape Zimbabwe’s political landscape through unconstitutional means will ultimately fail.General Chiwenga deserves better than this betrayal.
Retired Lieutenant General Winston Sigauke Mapuranga.
