In a strategic gambit to appease the war veterans and suppress opposition within their ranks, President Emmerson Mnangagwa has rolled out an initiative offering significant perks to former freedom fighters.

This gesture comes as Mnangagwa faces growing dissent, particularly regarding his bid for a third term.

Blessed Geza, a prominent war veteran, recently made waves by publicly condemning Mnangagwa’s third-term ambitions. He criticized the president’s leadership, signaling a deepening divide within the war veterans’ community.

In a statement from the ruling party, Zanu PF revealed that Mnangagwa had ordered the drilling of boreholes at the homes of war veterans.

“President Emmerson Dambudzo Mnangagwa has directed that each War Veteran have a borehole drilled at their home,” the statement said. The initiative, intended to provide better access to water for the veterans, will commence next week in Mashonaland Central, according to Paul Tungwarara, the Special Presidential Investment Advisor to the United Arab Emirates.

This strategic move appears to be part of Mnangagwa’s efforts to win favor and neutralize any opposition within the influential war veterans’ association.
