In a candid admission, Mr. Emmerson Mnangagwa’s advisor, Paul Tungwarara, has criticized internal factions within the ruling Zanu PF party who have been using social media to attack the party leader. Tungwarara made these remarks during the launch of the Harare Province Presidential War Veterans Fund at the Zanu PF headquarters on Tuesday.

While addressing the gathering, Tungwarara responded directly to those he believes are attempting to sow division within the party, saying, “We will not be swayed by those attempting to use divide and rule tactics through social media.” This statement reflects growing tensions within the party as some factions seek to undermine Mnangagwa’s leadership.

Tungwarara also emphasized the strength and unity of those loyal to the president, stating, “We know their agenda, it’s too narrow and we are unstoppable.” His words indicate a strong resolve among Mnangagwa’s supporters to resist efforts aimed at destabilizing the party from within.

The occasion was marked by Tungwarara’s formal handover of a US$150,000 allocation to the Zanu PF War Veterans League, led by Douglas Mahiya, reinforcing his role as Mnangagwa’s investment advisor. The funds are intended to support the war veterans, a key base of support for the ruling party.

Tungwarara’s comments reveal not only the internal strife facing Zanu PF but also his determination to project an image of party unity in the face of growing divisions. Despite the public infighting, he maintains confidence in the leadership’s ability to weather the storm and remain “unstoppable.”
