By Farai D Hove| Former Higher Education Minister Jonathan Moyo has given the clearest hint that was physically with former President Robert Mugabe at the time when the 94 year old was telephoned by President Emmerson Mnangagwa, the latter who had fled to South Africa.
The riveting details are set to connect the dots on the drama that ensued shortly after Moyo was raided by soldiers while at his colleague Saviour Kasukuwere’s house. Both Moyo and Kasukuwere say they ran away from Kasukuwere’s house when the gun firing soldiers had shortly retreated from the premises (and according to Kasukuwere this after a loud alarm had temporarily scared the soldiers off.)
Moyo during his Hard Talk interview says he was assisted by people he calls “angels.” As ZimEye reveals in the video interview, Moyo further describes these angels as, “Mugabe’s people,” pointing to that the two and their families were assisted by Robert Mugabe’s personal bodyguards and taken to Robert Mugabe’s residence where they likely stayed for several days into the 24 hours just before Mugabe finally made his resignation.
The specific incident described by Moyo Wednesday night happened on the 20th November.
At this time the army had completely and successfully taken over all strategic places of government and media, police officers overpowered, and Mugabe was refusing to resign. The army then facilitated discussions so that Emmerson Mnangagwa could negotiate with Mugabe following his expulsion. President Mnangagwa’s account of this incident which he made while in Namibia is that when the two spoke on the phone for the first time, Robert Mugabe did not remember that he had fired him.
But speaking on the SABC last night, Prof Moyo rubbished Mnangagwa, saying Mnangagwa is misleading African governments on many things. Said Moyo on video as ZimEye reveals,
“And Mnangagwa has been going to these countries as you say; Obviously Mnangagwa, there is something he knows which many other people don’t know about his illegitimacy…but in the process he is telling a lot of stories which are humiliating the President, the former president, which are false. When he left Namibia he alleged that the President when he had a phone call with him on the 20th November couldn’t remember that he had dismissed him, which is preposterous; what he doesn’t understand is that while he was holed up somewhere making that call, the President was not making that call alone, ” says prof Moyo.
“What really should happen? Well, the African Union and SADC need to base their decision not on what the coup makers say, but on what the people of Zimbabwe say, and on what the victims of the coup say; the only legitimate way is to have a fact finding mission. You cannot have all these conclusions that it was a bloodless coup, that it was lawful, without having a process that comes down to the ground and speaks to the people who have been affected,” added Moyo.

We welcome the so called coup isu Zimbabweans so shut up ugare ikoko
Its only fools who dare right – off Jonso’s utterances and will pay heavily for their ineptitude and painfully short memories. Yes there maybe an element of sour grapes on Jonso’s part but the truth is that the JUNTA are stinking rich to the extreme and capable murderers any day…… ZIMBABWE desperately needs to change full stop ….nothing less! Those who think otherwise are nothing else but the Cabal illegally in power !
Jonathan Moyo will prove as much a lunatic as THE FAKE dr amai. He is prving this with each day that passes. The AU and Sadcc have since moved on from MUGABE AND HE NEEDS TO REALISE THIS. AND WHO DOES HE REFER TO WHEN HE SAYS THE COUP’S VICTIMS? WHY ARE THEY MORE SPECIAL THAN MUGABES VICTIMS? GUNGUWO RINODA RICHAKWEVA KA? SHAME ON HIM. MUNANGAGWA NEEDS TO QUICKLY FIIND WHERE THIS WIEZEL IS AND EXTRADITE HIM TO FACE HIS CRIMES.
please, please stop saying shonas, do not paint everyone with the same brush, STOP IT, Stop being a tribalists , everything this Shona, everything that Shona, if you do not have anything to say just shut UP
Jonso, the coup was free and fair
Wat Zimbabweans say us that: JONSO COME HOME PLEASE. YU AND KASUKUWERE MUST FACE THE MUSIC! ! By the Way: Ngwena and especially Chiwenga are HEROES! SO JONSO, TAKE YOUR BITTER ANGER AND SHOVE IT UP YOUR ARSE!
Enough Jonso enough of your nonsense. You had your time it’s done. Chisingaperi chinoshura, okungapheliyo kuya hlola. Even ED and everyone else that will come after him will one day be history just like you, Bob, Saviour, Mphoko Zhuwao, etc etc are! Let him enjoy while it lasts just like you did. Fly down, come let’s put heads together and rebuild Zimbabwe, than making your head bolder!
Sorry, I thot you’re from KZN. Ok, you and your professor then
According to Kasukuwere, a loud alarm temporarily scared the soldiers off.
How can a gun totting, well trained soldier who has been sent to depose a fearsome sitting President the likes of Robert Mugabe be scared of a mere alarm?
Could it be possible that Kasukuwere and the Loud Professor offered the soldiers a large sum of USA Dollars to secure their release?
The newspapers just want their newspapers to be bought otherwise this is not newsworthy. Jonathan Moyo is a bitter man. There is no more reverse Jonathan.
Which 15 million citizens – where do you get that number from? So, if you add those in the diaspora, what becomes of the whole Zimbabwe population? Stop day dreaming. You Shonas you just love being numerous for nothing, to the extent of exaggerating your numbers as a country. Shame!
Its because they know deep down in their hearts of hearts that Jonathan is not useless. They are damn scared that the fortunes of their Mnangagwa hero might just reverse over night. Some people and this worshiping of leaders – eish, unbelievable I must say. You just wonder what they gain out of all this!
DUNUNU IRI RIRIKUNYANGADZA VANHU
Kkkkk kkkkk what has always baffled me is that almost every one tries to portray Moyo as ‘ irrelevant’ too late and so forth.If he is that useless ,why bother listening to him anyway? The best way to deal with a ‘ useless ‘ thing is to ignore it .Commenting on everything he says is what he is actually looking for.Its what gives him relevance .I will not go into content of what he is saying for now.
We are tired of the recycling of Jonso old stories as news to keep Jonso relevant. Jonso must stay buried where he is we do not want old news. If there is anything new then write .RIP jonso
We do not need you
Zimeye gets excited with the slightest nonsense. Kushaya news here? Where is the drama here when your assumptions are just childish and just your personal creation? You dont seem to even have understood Jonso’s context on that ‘phone call’ explanation.
You need to grow up and be a little professional. Kanausina news,take a break. Go to the gym or something.
Nonsense……
An argument between 1 professor versus 15million citizens. One day you would want to come ‘home”. Batai munhu
Hapana nyaya apa Jonso kuvukura kwako hakuchina maturo dai waiva mumwe wototsvaga rimwe basa nokuti there is no Party in Zimbabwe which can accomodate a crazy Professor.
Its too late Jonso nyika yakatotorwa no one will reverse it Jonso. RIP cde professor
