Ray Nkosi | President Robert Mugabe has taken a direct swipe at his heir apparent Emmerson Mnangagwa saying contrary to popular opinion he is not at all grooming him as successor.
Mugabe said in fact he is not grooming anyone. ” …a successor is groomed (not by me) by the people…., ” he said in response to questions by state broadcaster ZBC on grooming a successor.
Instead Mugabe appears to have anointed his wife, Grace, as his possible successor after describing her as “fireworks” and “well-seasoned now” to withstand the political heat within and outside the ruling Zanu PF party circles.
In a wide-ranging pre-recorded interview with State television ahead of his 93rd birthday yesterday, Mugabe said Grace, who is the Zanu PF women’s league boss, had now mastered the art of absorbing political pressure and criticism, adding she was “very much accepted by the people”.
“The criticism I get is from the opposition. From the party (Zanu PF), well, there have been a few criticisms from (people like war veterans’ leader Christopher) Mutsvangwa and so on and so forth that you know. I saw something quite different in her,” he said.
BringBackOurFlag, what a rubbish long name! Some of the things you just need to deduce yourself and come up with an answer. You probably used to be spoon fed hence you find it so difficult to work out simple things and come up with an answer. What do you think is Mugabe sinuating when he says he doesn’t groom a successor but the people of Zimbabwe do? I’m disappointed that some people fail to get this. No wonder why Mugabe takes us for a ride. Most African political leaders have a tendency of talking in riddles, demeaning politics. I am not an admirer of some of them. They are asked questions but some of them tend not to reply to what they are asked. So BringBackOurFlag Mugabe never spoke in Chinese, which I think most might find it difficult to understand. It was in simple English – meaning exactly what he meant. Garwe is not his favourite to take over when he decides to relinquish power.
I have listened to that interview carefully, l am failing to get where the president rejects Mnangagwa and on this article am also failing to get where and how he rejected him. The reporter is struggling to come up with Headlines.
It would not come as a surprise that Disgrace is influencing the old husband so she can put her foot in the door
Use commas and full stops!!
