By A Correspondent| There is a long standing warrant of arrest for ZANU PF leader, Emmerson Mnangagwa in a development bound to see him and emerging military figures outstaging each other using state tools of prosecution.
Senior government officials and multiple sources have alleged Mnangagwa has lost real control of the country to the military, and if things go according to plan, “the only person now in power is Maj Gen John Chris Mupande, whose allegiance is to Vice President Constantino Chiwenga.”
The military is disintegrating in a way which might turn out calamitous, reflected in how Mnangagwa ended up “violating” his own annual leave (December 2019 to January 2020).
But how does such a person (Gen Mupande) who is junior to the Zimbabwe Defence Forces Commander, Valerio Sibanda become more powerful? The coup to remove former President Robert Mugabe was done by the Zipra wing of the military, the January 2019 operation to save Mnangagwa was also done by Zipra, as narrated by Mnangagwa’s inlaw Terence Mukupe in a year old in door meeting video clip.
The Zipra element of the military comes from Mberengwa, Shurugwi and Matebeleland (Gen Sibusiso Moyo, Isaac Moyo (CIO Director General), this is the element that wanted Mugabe removed or even killed.
They are the ones who run the Korokozas (artisenal miners), the Mashurugwi militia who form a civilian army. Two soldiers caught so far raiding mines in the Concession area, were from Shurugwi. It was an operation run by the Defence Intelligence.
Mnangagwa had a warrant of arrest over the murder of his girlfriend in a flat. That docket is still there. The whole November military coup was a way to sway away the criminal charges. Sources told ZimEye, Mnangagwa knew he was going to be arrested for the murder of the girlfriend (a church member of Tudor Bismark’s organisation) killed in a flat in Harare who was a discovered a week later. She was found mutilated at her private parts. The pictures are gruesome.
The warrant of arrest was signed at the Harare magistrates court and President Mugabe was in possession the docket. This is the major reason why former police commissioner, Augustine Chihuri had to be removed because of the database of criminal charges he possessed.
PLAN B.
The latest development has seen Mnangagwa announcing a plan B using a plan to stay affloat using the Korokoza wing. Mnangagwa announced this plan on the 14th December at ZANU PF’s annual conference in Goromonzi.
ANOTHER ROUND OF LIVE AMMUNITION AGAINST CIVILIANS.
Speaking at his party’s Goromonzi conference on the 14th December, Mnangagwa revealed he will perform another military crackdown but this time involving a method the United Nations would never discover.
In January 2019, the UN in Geneva implicated him for killing 17 people during that month and 6 others on 1 August 2018. In a full statement, the UN said it was without question that the crackdown was a state operation.
This time Mnangagwa said his operation must nip all evidence in the budd.
He said he is concerned about propaganda rather than human life losses. He clearly threatened to use the state apparatus to ensure secrecy when he carries out another crackdown. Last January when soldiers protested against the fuel price rise, (even criticised by pro ZANU countries such as Russia), his security minister switched off the internet for 3 days during which period 17 people were shot dead and several women raped. This time speaking at Goromonzi, Mnangagwa described the January 2019 protests where 17 people were killed by state agents as “nonsensical”.
“The January nonsense and periodic mischievous activities by the opposition elements such as those we witnessed this year must be nipped in the bud,” he said. “Never again shall we allow the loss of precious lives of our countrymen to feed the agenda of a notorious few.”
He repeated exactly what he told a French journalist earlier in the year, while blaming the MDC party for the mass murders which he did and while denying saying no one was killed.
Show me the graves, said Mnangagwa in the below interview. He also announced that he is hunting down every woman who reported rape.
From his own words, it is without guessing that the Zanu-PF leader is planning a repeat of the same operation this January and yesterday the MDC offices were raided with the police saying they were looking for machetes, the weapons used by the Korokozas.- ZimEye
