Rumours that the vice president Constantino Chiwenga is plotting to remove president Emmerson mnangagwa within two months from now have been dispelled.

The vice-president himself has indicated that everyone should rally behind the ZANU PF leader.

Sources close to the president were the last few months alleging that there is a plot to remove him before the end of August just after the 2018 elections.

But the contrary has appeared to be the truth, if the vice president’s statement is not a cover up. He announced at the weekend saying, “today, we want to remind each other that following events that took place in November under Operation Restore Legacy which saw the coming in of the new dispensation, the other leg is still hanging in the air…

“You came out in your numbers on November 18 demonstrating in peace and today we are saying in the same spirit, let’s rally behind President Mnangagwa and all Zanu-PF candidates vying for local authorities, Upper and Lower House of Assembly seats come July 30 so that we conclude Operation Restore Legacy.”

Chiwenga also likened President Mnangagwa to the biblical Joshua who led Israelites into Canaan, saying Zanu-PF with his leadership was poised for economic prosperity.

He called for unity among all Zimbabweans, as exhibited in the November 18 solidarity march, to rebuild Zimbabwe.
