President Emmerson Mnangagwa says that there is a plot currently underway to impeach him in the next few weeks.
Mnangagwa made the revelations Wednesday afternoon during a session at the party’s headquarters.
He said he has received clear intelligence of this underhand strategy to depose him.
For a while there has been a large floating media report that many who belong to the so called military faction do not want him to proceed beyond August. It was not clear at the time of writing if the head of state was referring to mere media news articles or real and hard intelligence data.
Mnangagwa said, “I got intelligence that some of those who have won this primary election have two minds, they have gone to join the Zanu-PF wagon using various means, money included, to be elected with a possible view once in parliament they will band together and move a motion of impeachment.
“There are two things that those among you here need to know what happens. First, you must realize that the constitution provides the basis of impeachment and such basis must be fulfilled before impeachment proceedings begin.
“Secondly, our constitution (Zanu-PF’s) provides an instrument to chuck out from parliament any member whom we think is not Zanu-PF anymore. So you and your angel, as well as your spirit medium, should know where you stand before bad things happen.”
