How the mighty have finally fallen…at last – 92 year old President Robert Mugabe will be out of State House following the demands by war veterans in the capital, Harare last week.
War veterans last Thursday descended on Harare and spoke before a well packed video-recorded press conference voicing that they want Mugabe to step down with immediate effect.
Within 2 days of that function, Mugabe’s former deputy Joice Mujuru also came guns blazing for the first time threatening Mugabe. As Mugabe’s troubles mount, Mujuru on Saturday mutilated the man in the wake of the historic war veterans’ ultimatum. She firmly backed the war vets who Thursday militantly told Mugabe to his face that his time is over and he must resign “or else”.
For the first time in her political career, Mujuru directly attacked Mugabe labeling him “evil” as ZimEye.com reveals. In what was her best rally ever with over 6000 who attended her Marondera stadium function which was packed to the brim, Mujuru’s speech exclusively covered by ZimEye.com, was well polished, far much better than before. Unlike at other times when she spoke in timid riddles, shying away from attacking her former boss Robert Mugabe, Mujuru was very direct and hit straight between Mugabe’s eyes. She for the first time threatened Mugabe true to her war name “spill blood” (war-name). She used the threatening noun “Gandanga” – Destroyer to describe herself in what sounded like a final warning at Mugabe since he has started another war on Vice President Emmerson Mnangagwa.
The army, police and CIO leadership is said to be wholly war-veteran sympathetic, a factor many at the weekend said shows to Mugabe “the one way-out finger”. A simple way of understanding the status quo is how the war vets “filmed on video are walking scot-free since their anti-Mugabe function” last Thursday, analyst David Vumba said.
The logistics of kicking Mugabe out of State House might appear difficult, but all they need is a ZANU PF veto. Former ZANU PF Chairman Mash West Temba Mliswa told ZimEye.com Mugabe will be pacing the streets within minutes once a simply ZANU PF constitutional act has been done.
Meanwhile top officials in the Zimbabwe National Liberation War Veterans’ Association (ZNLWVA) have scoffed at government threats to silence and stop them from demanding President Robert Mugabe to step down, saying no amount of intimidation would cow them into submission.
War veterans’ leaders who declined to be named yesterday said that Vice-President Emmerson Mnangagwa and Zanu PF national commissar Saviour Kasukuwere had no locus standi to dictate what they should or should not say as their “welfare as stockholders of the ruling party was at stake”.
Mnangagwa, who all along was the war veterans’ Trojan Horse for the 2018 polls, yesterday said it was “highly irresponsible and disloyal” for the former fighters to challenge Mugabe to step down.
Kasukuwere weighed in saying: “That is unacceptable and we will have to flush out these elements. We will not allow this kind of indiscipline to take root in the party. We must allow the President to do his work. He was voted for to run the country and genuine war veterans know that.”
Secretary for War Veterans Walter Asher Tapfumaneyi also threatened to institute a witch-hunt to sniff out the brains behind the former freedom fighters’ damning Thursday communiqué which described Mugabe as a “dictator”.
The latest verbal showdown followed a ZNLWVA meeting held in Harare on Thursday where the ex-fighters denounced Mugabe for failing to address their welfare issues, failing economy, corruption and widespread poverty. The veterans of the country’s 1970s liberation war declared they would not campaign for Mugabe in the 2018 presidential race.
“It’s clear there are people who want to silence us from discussing about our welfare and relationship to the party (Zanu PF),” a senior ZNLWVA executive said. “On Thursday, we had gathered to talk about our welfare and the comrades raised a lot of issues such as neglect by the party and government. Those are genuine issues that have not been responded to and it’s sad that we are being attacked by people who don’t want us to speak openly.”
The official added: “We have been silent for a long time and yet we are denied opportunities in our own country that we liberated. We cannot listen to a person like Kasukuwere who doesn’t know poverty at all. We speak on behalf of masses and again it’s sad that the majority of us cannot afford a proper meal because of poverty.”
The war veterans, after their Thursday meeting, released a strongly-worded communiqué where they described Mugabe as a sly character and dictator responsible for the current wave of corruption and economic meltdown, among a litany of other misdemeanours. They also accused Mugabe, who is their patron, of backing a Zanu PF G40 faction fronted by his wife First Lady Grace. The call for Mugabe to step down has rattled Zanu PF with reports that State security machinery has already been dispatched to clamp down on war veterans suspected of producing the damning communiqué, but the latter has scoffed at the threats.
“We cannot be identified as aliens in Zanu PF or to be told that we are useless, no that will not happen. Of course, they might choose to silence us through arrests or death but it’s only the flesh that will die. Our children will continue speaking and our issues will not go just like that,” the official said.
Already, Zanu PF youths in Chiredzi have threatened to unleash violence on war veterans’ national political commissar, Francis Nhando and repossess his sugarcane plot in the Lowveld, describing him as a “dissident”.
Addressing a Zanu PF meeting in Triangle on Saturday, provincial youth chair, Nobert Ndaarombe declared a bare-knuckle fight with war veterans pushing for Mugabe’s ouster.
“We will not fold our hands and keep quiet if you insult the President. You have crossed the red line. It is now a bare knuckle fight. We will not back down,” he said.
Another youth leader identified as Lloyd Simango, said: “Everyone who goes against the President, we immediately, repossess what he has gained because of Zanu PF. Tomorrow we are going to invade his (Nhando’s) farm.”
Masvingo provincial chairperson Amasa Nenjana threatened unspecified disciplinary action against “errant war veterans”.
“It is not easy to fight Mugabe. They will all be quiet together with (war veterans chairman Christopher) Mutsvangwa, (secretary-general Victor) Matemadanda and others,” Nenjana said.
Provincial political commissar, Jeppy Jaboon incited youths to “deal with Nhando”, saying “as Masvingo, we no longer want to see him in the province”.
Mutsvangwa has already lost his Cabinet, Zanu PF and parliamentary posts over his alleged defiance, but war veterans have vowed to retain him as their leader. The latest purge on war veterans came as former Vice-President Joice Mujuru on Saturday threw her weight behind them and urged the ex-fighters to join forces in the campaign to dislodge Mugabe.

What is treasonous about the war vets communique?The reaction from some of the ZANU PF leaders and youths is proof that we are under a totalitarian regime, a dictatorship.Noone is defending the state. Everyone is defending Mugabe. The war vets are simply saying in the same manner Ndabaningi Sithole was removed they want Mugabe removed to save their party.Mugabe is not a god. He is fallible. This is what everyone is saying.What is happening is the hallmark of a cult.The regime now has enlisted the services of a “prophet” in the form of one Wimbo. A cabinet task force has been assembled to look into the saga involving the “prophet”.These are indeed interesting times.

At least they are talking about corruption, economic meltdown, poverty like all the people are bringing out. This means these are genuine things that need to be addressed. Izvozvi ndizvo zvinhu zviri kuita kuti vanhu chaiwo vanoona vajamuke. War vets are saying mugabe go but people under #this flag we never asked for the president’s head all we are asking is an end to all these evil deeds. We want to see the economy turn around. We want a better future for our children. we want jobs for our children and so on. And you see some stupid youths with deranged heads saying the opposite to these demands.
He is going no matter what.

The war vets are testing their own and home grown medicine. They are right in their demands but i urge them to lo back at how they have made Zimbabwe to be when they get such response from the so called youths.
They are the ones who created all this fuss fro ZANU as if the country belongs to ZANU. They neglected the nation while busy campaigning for the president, they killed and tortured for the sake of ZANU and the president when opposition parties tried to tell them that all is not well in the country.
As they stand and say the same opposition words, their children whom they lied to about ZANU and the president are attacking them. Some of them will also loose their lives all because they want to correct the wrongs they themselves have long created. The president used them as toilet paper and they went and killed innocent citizens for asking and complaining to the president on the same issues they are.
All they were saying pamberi neZANU, pamberi naPresident Robert Mugabe, their children are vendors and look at where Bona goes to give birth.
I advise the war vets not to impose anyone from ZANU to take over the presidency for 90 days as the constitution states which every citizen must uphold.
The most senior vice president must take charge until the new, fresh free and fair elections are held. The winner of the election take over the government for fife years, it does not matter war vet or not. The war vets imposed Mugabe on the people through election rigging for their selfish gains but the president has mismanaged the country effecting their complains.
Whatever will happen from now, we do not want to anyone to spill anyone’s blood, show us that wisdom is better than strength. You were proud to thwart opposition as if they were not citizens at all now the government and its leader are treating you the same.
I will advised you here that your power lies in telling the citizens the truth and ask for forgiveness for the crimes against them in the name of ZANU and the president.
Think of what you did in all the past elections for the president and ZANU and own that up. You are wholly to blame for all the troubles our country is in right now. Do the right thing, confess to the citizens and most of them will forgive you then we move forward so that we can experience some liberation at least.
No human being can claim to be invincible.kana nguva yakwana yatokwana.kana usisadiwe hauchadiwe no matter ukakwira pamusoro pemba, hauchadiwa chete.
