Speaking during a ZANU PF Politburo meeting held at the party’s headquarters in Harare on Wednesday, President Emmerson Mnangagwa issued a stern warning to party members engaged in public infighting and social media disputes.

His comments underscore rising tensions within the party as factions vie for influence and power.

“Unruly elements who are abusing various media platforms to cause alarm and despondency, while also sowing disunity and advancing misguided, nefarious political agendas within the country and Party, stand warned,” Mnangagwa stated emphatically. This declaration highlights his concerns over how internal conflicts are spilling into public view, potentially damaging the party’s image and unity.

The president challenged ZANU PF members to actively combat any statements or actions that distort the party’s revolutionary principles. “I challenge the Party to resolutely oppose statements and actions that undermine or distort our correct line of the revolution,” he urged, emphasizing the need for solidarity and coherence in the party’s messaging.

Mnangagwa further elaborated on the stakes involved, warning against any behavior that jeopardizes national interests.

“All moves to damage the interests of the people of our great motherland; tamper with our unity, social harmony, development interest, sovereignty, security and overall national stability should be decisively dealt with,” he declared.

His remarks come at a time when divisions within ZANU PF have become increasingly apparent, with factions using social media to air grievances and disputes.

The president’s call for unity aims to reassert control and refocus party members on their shared goals, particularly as Zimbabwe faces significant political and economic challenges.

As the political landscape continues to evolve, it remains to be seen how ZANU PF will address these internal issues and whether Mnangagwa’s warning will lead to a more unified front among its members.
