ZANU PF Harare Provincial Chairperson, Godwills Masimirembwa, has issued a strong warning to party officials who oppose efforts to extend President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s tenure beyond 2028, stating that those resisting the move risk expulsion from the party.
“Masimirembwa has gone too far now. He should mind his language,” said a ZANU PF insider, speaking on the condition of anonymity, in a statement made on Tuesday.
The statement comes amid increasing pressure from ZANU PF hardliners who are pushing for the postponement of upcoming elections to allow President Mnangagwa to remain in office beyond the constitutional limits.
These party officials are advocating for a change to the current law to enable Mnangagwa to extend his presidency, a move that has sparked internal divisions within the ruling party.
Hardliners argue that Mnangagwa’s leadership is vital for national stability, while critics, including some within the party, view the push as an attempt to consolidate power and undermine the democratic process.
