Chiwenga Opts To Attend Church Event In Bulawayo On Munhumutapa Day

By A Correspondent

In a notable departure from recent political gatherings, Vice President General Constantino Chiwenga chose to attend a church event in Bulawayo instead of participating in President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s birthday celebrations at the Great Zimbabwe Ruins.

The decision highlights the ongoing factional battles within the ruling Zanu PF party.

Political analyst Majaira Jairosi commented on Chiwenga’s absence from significant party events, noting, “VP Chiwenga snubbed the recent Precabe Farm event & Mnangagwa’s birthday celebrations today. Chiwenga opted to go to Bulawayo where he attended some church event yesterday.”

The VP’s choice to attend a religious gathering rather than key political events has fueled speculation about his position within the party.

As Zanu PF gears up for its annual conference next month, internal dynamics are coming into sharper focus.

The women’s league of the party has expressed a desire for Chiwenga to be replaced by a female candidate, adding another layer of complexity to the party’s internal politics.

This move by Chiwenga could signal a strategic alignment or an indication of shifting loyalties within Zanu PF as the party prepares for its upcoming conference.
