By Terrence Mawawa|President Emmerson Mnangagwa has suddenly decided to cancel his visit to Chikomba District amid heightening political tension.

Mnangagwa was expected to officiate at a party event in Chikomba District on Wednesday but he cancelled the trip after gathering intelligence that pro- Grace Mugabe party members were planning to embarrass him.

Chikomba District is Grace Mugabe’s home area and she commands a huge following, according to party sources.

“The President cancelled his trip to Chikomba District because of heightening political tension in the area.

As you are aware the former First Lady is from Chikomba area, as such the President cancelled his trip due to reports coming from the place,” said a government official.
