Terrence Mawawa | President Emmerson Mnangagwa is at loggerheads with war veterans in Chirumanzi because he has allegedly issued a directive to stop the prosecution of his ally.

Although the President is purportedly spearheading the anti-corruption drive, war veterans and disgruntled members of the Chirumhanzu Clan are claiming he is obstructing the course of justice by shielding his ally Gerald Mudzengi.

Mudzengi, the incumbent Chief Chirumhanzu allegedly committed various crimes- including stock theft, corruption and contempt of court.

However Mnangagwa allegedly blocked the police from arresting Mudzengi, according to local traditional leaders.

“The President sent his men to the local police station a few ago and they ordered the police to suspend all investigations.

Mudzengi committed various crimes.He is untouchable because of his strong bond with the President,” said a local headman.
