• 12 October 2026: They allegedly continued seizing assets in South Africa.

• The deceased’s security guards were allegedly ordered to hand over cars, jewellery, and money, even though the estate was not yet registered.

ZANU-PF meetings & conference

• ZANU-PF’s Department of Information and Publicity, signed by spokesperson Ambassador Christopher Mutsvangwa, dated 12 October 2026, announced:

  • Politburo meeting: Tuesday 13 October 2026, 14:00; members seated by 13:45; ZANU-PF Headquarters, Harare.

  • Central Committee meeting: Wednesday 14 October 2026, 10:00; members seated by 09:45; same venue.

• These were described as the leadership-level opening of the 23rd Annual National People’s Conference.

• Reporting/sources said delegates would then converge on Chinhoyi University of Technology (CUT).

• Official opening and main proceedings were said to be Friday and Saturday in Chinhoyi.

• Later notes say the 23rd ZANU-PF Annual National People’s Conference ran 12–17 October 2026 at CUT, Chinhoyi, Mashonaland West Province.

• The conference is not elective; it is policy-focused.

• It cannot elect leaders, but is being used to formalise structural party changes.

• A later section says a Politburo meeting was abruptly cancelled, despite the earlier official notice.

• This is a contradiction in the document.

ZANU-PF resolutions & succession fight

• Harare Province reportedly expects all ZANU-PF provinces to endorse four key resolutions:

  • Extend the party presidential term from 5 to 7 years by aligning the party constitution with proposed national Constitution changes.

  • Postpone the 2027 National Congress to 2030.

  • Retain President Emmerson Mnangagwa as ZANU-PF President and First Secretary until the 2030 Congress.

  • Endorse Mnangagwa as the sole presidential candidate in 2030, under a proposed system where Parliament elects the President.

• Harare Province also expects ZANU-PF to increase its parliamentary seats in 2030.

• This could potentially allow Mnangagwa to remain Zimbabwe’s President beyond 2030.

• The party is updating its constitution to align with Constitutional Amendment Act No. 3 (CAB3).

• CAB3 extends national terms from 5 to 7 years and shifts the next election to 2030.

• The Mnangagwa faction is pushing these changes to extend his leadership to 2030 and block Vice President Constantino Chiwenga’s path to the presidency.

• High internal tension: the proposals sparked conflict, an abruptly cancelled Politburo meeting, and direct pushback from military-backed war veteran groups on the eve of the conference.

• At least 150 houses and roughly 10 business premises were affected by an explosion at the Buchwa Iron Mining Company (BIMCO) explosives magazine in Redcliff, Zimbabwe.

• One on-duty security guard employed by Midsec security company was killed.

• His identity was not publicly released.
