By A Correspondent|  The man who since the Nov 2017 coup has occupied ZANU PF’s most powerful job of National Commissar, Gen Engelbert Rugeje, has rubbished a report that alleges he is to benefit from a new job assignment of military university Vice Chancellor following his demotion.

The party leader, Emmerson Mnangagwa removed the firebrand Rugeje and replaced him with a civilian, Mr. Victor Matemadanda.

Rugeje is currently spending his first month, totally jobless.

Local reports last week claimed Rugeje will be appointed the Vice Chancellor of the National Defence University.

But speaking to ZimEye at the end of the week, Gen Rugeje confessed he is not aware of the job offer. He also indicated no interest in the role.

Gen Rugeje said at the time of the so called referral, he was even outside the country in South Africa.

“Haa, handina zvandinoziva ndiri kuCapetown ini,” he said.

“I am in Capetown I have been out of the country for the past seven days,” he said.

He added saying, ” I know nothing.”

He continued, “Where did you get that report from?”

“I don’t know… inini, handiende pa social media ka ini, I don’t all those things, so social media I would not know that” he said.

So there are not even hopes of being appointed, or you putting your name for the National Defence University?, our reporter asked.

To this he replied saying, “I  know nothing,” he said.
