Terrence Mawawa|Veteran politician and intelligence supremo Dumiso Dabengwa has shot down claims that he has Zapu endorsed President Emmerson Mnangagwa as the legitimate leader of the country.

The Zapu leader has refuted
reports that he endorsed Mnangagwa as has been claimed. Dabengwa clarified that he had, in fact, embraced Mnangagwa’s position on devolution. Speaking to
journalists in Bulawayo last week, Dabengwa said:”On the issue of devolution, all I was saying was that we have a de-jure government, a government which is there according to the laws of the land…The highest court in the country, which is the Constitutional Court, gave Mnangagwa the right to form the
government and all I was saying is that in spite of our feelings about the
manner in which the elections were
carried out…we now have this de-jure
government…I was saying let us
accept the gesture, and my plea that
we accept that gesture for the
implementation of devolution did not
and does not mean accepting or calling on our people to then embrace and

endorse this government.”
