Even though Zimbabwe’s President Emmerson Mnangagwa and his deputy, Constantino Chiwenga, appear to be in good books while in public, insiders say, the latter’s allies are against the former’s endorsement by some Zanu PF members to run for the 2023 elections. Hence, there has been an ongoing cold war between Mnangagwa and Chiwenga allies as Zimbabwe heads towards the harmonised polls.
On Tuesday 23 November this year, 40 former liberation fighters were arrested by police and charged with inciting public violence.
The former liberation fighters had taken to the streets to express their grievances, which include poor pension earnings.
