Former Bulawayo South legislator Mr Eddie Cross has alleged that members of the G40 cabal that was expelled from Zanu-PF in 2017 are buying arms to instigate a war in the country.

Mr Cross alleged this on Thursday while speaking at the Cape Town Press Club in South Africa.

He lauded President Mnangagwa for various reform initiatives which the Government has embarked on since assuming office.

“(President) Mnangagwa is committed to reform; he has not received sufficient recognition for what he has done. But he has to deal with recalcitrant elements in his party; intelligence sources suggest G40 buying weapons,” said Mr Cross.

The G40 cabal was a faction within Zanu-PF that had coalesced around former First Lady Grace Mugabe in an attempt to use her proximity to former President Mugabe to grab State power.

Their attempts were however, thwarted when the Zimbabwe Defence Forces, with the support of the majority of Zimbabweans, launched Operation Restore Legacy that resulted in the resignation of former President Mugabe.State media
