Ray Nkosi | In his last days in power ousted President Robert Mugabe managed to outsmart his rivals in the ruling Zanu PF party, causing them to opt for military action.
The Zimbabwe Defence Forces early November surreptiously seized power ending Mugabe’s almost four decades rule, with a senior minister coming out to reveal this was the only way smart Mugabe and his G-40 could be removed.
Local media reports that the newly-appointed Minister of State for Masvingo Provincial Affairs Josaya Hungwe stunned party members during a Provincial Coordinating Committee (PCC) meeting when he revealed that Team Lacoste faction had to use the army after they had been outsmarted by Generation 40 (G40) faction.
Hungwe added that the defeat by G40 was a clear indication that former president Robert Mugabe was smarter than his successor President Emmerson Mnangagwa.
The Masvingo Godfather revealed that the reason why the military ‘stepped in’ to elbow out Mugabe and the G40 faction was because Mnangagwa and Lacoste faction had completely failed.
Mugabe who has been under house arrest has for the first time been allowed to leave the country to seek medical treatment in the Far East. While Mugabe’s former spokesperson refused to comment on his trip, the local Newsday reports that,
Mugabe will make a stopover in Malaysia, where his daughter Bona is expecting a second child, before leaving for Singapore for his routine medical check-up. Sources revealed that the UM1 yesterday had a scheduled 20- hour flight.
The 93-year-old ex-leader’s former aide and now Mnangagwa’s spokesperson and Information ministry permanent secretary, George Charamba, could not give details, saying he was not in touch with Mugabe anymore.

In this new Zimbabwe, Policy makers and politicians — go and take family and relatives to local health facilities and local schools and universities. This should disqualify any seeking office — why take your children and relatives away from institutions you make decisions for
You do not outsmart your opponent and lose, that is plain and simple. If Mugabe was smart he should not have allowed his wife to use the interface rallies and the so called super Sunday to take shots at opponents who did not have the same platform. If you are smart, you would know that it is God who humbles those who think they are untouchable. Mugabe was humiliated, that is plain and simple, because the whole world witnessed what has never happened before. People peacefully demonstrating, your own party impeaching you, then you resign, that is not being smart. You allows an irresponsible Chipanga and your own wife to challenge everyone including the army, that is not being smart at all. Of course Hungwe had a bad choice of words, if Mugabe was smart he would have known that the army on Mnangagwa’s side. He was not smart at all, in fact he has never been smart, because a smart person does go for his secretary whilst your wife is bed ridden. What he did was sexual harassment, and in other organisations, he would have been fired from employment. Smart people do not go for their secretaries.
it is Jonah who is smart
“Not in touch with Mugabe anymore”, kkkkkkkkk haachataure nendururani, ny’any’a. Sure he could have used a better phrase…..I think!
Hungwe anongovukurawo mudhara uyu. Its time to retire!!
If this utterance is credited to Hungwe and if he is taking ownership of the same then this is sad for Mnangagwa. A mere mortal like me has held this view well before the arrival Jona. Mnangagwa held ministries which had everything to do Mugabe serving just two terms. The reason Mugabe served more than three terms had to do with Zvobgo and Mnangagwa.
I am still scratching my delicate brains to rationalise why on earth would anyone seethe but put up a charade of loving the father of all fathers.
When you analyse Mnangagwa speaking or answering questions in Parliament I personally do not see someone who’s legally astute. He is not as abrasive as Chinamasa but both revel in getting there in end brutally. They are raging bulls so to speak. This is why crafty Jona an apprentice in law outsmarted Mnangagwa.
Kupfimba mukadzi for years until the macho in you says rape and hurrah you have won!
