By Langton Ncube|The ousted top members of Zanu PF’s G40 faction, and leaders of a new political party, New Patriotic Front, have formally petitioned the African Union and Sadc challenging the legitimacy of their arch-rival President Emmerson Mnangagwa.
The 79-page dossier urging the continental body not to recognise Mnangagwa’s government on the grounds that it was born out of a military intervention was yesterday formally served by the new political party’s lawyer, South African Marius van Niekerk.
The petition was received by chairperson of the Sadc Organ on Politics, Defence and Security and Angola President Joào Lourenco, chairperson of the African Union Commission Moussaka Faki Mahamat, chairperson of Sadc South African President Jacob Zuma, Sadc executive secretary Stergomena Lawrence Tax, and the outgoing AU chairperson Alpha Conde of Guinea.
Most of the copies circulated to the media were received between February 2 and yesterday.
The NPF is pleading with Sadc and the continental body not to recognise Mnangagwa, who came into power following a military operation against former President Robert Mugabe in November last year .
Mugabe resigned following the military operation code named Operation Restore Legacy, but former Higher Education minister Jonathan Moyo claimed the veteran politician was forced to resign by the military. He added Mnangagwa should not be recognised by the international community.
The dossier contains minutes between Mugabe and the military’s top brass after he was put under house arrest.
G40 are dreamers. If Moyo thinks there can be an insurrection ontheir behalf they are doomed.
No straight thinking Zimbabwean will ever put their head on the pillory for these buffoons. You have to be mentally unstable to support the likes of Zhuwau and Disgrace and Kasukuviri.
People of Zimbabwe are happy the monsters are no more. Mugabe, Grace, Zhuwawo, Moyo and Kasukuwere we don’t want you in our Zimbabwe politics. You made the whole nation suffer idiots. Sadc we are very happy Mugabe is gone. Zhuwawo uri duzvi
Ini hangu zhuhwahwo wezhowezha hozhwe andidi kutombomuona. Ngaambopedza law degree rake ikoko nemari dzedu
chave chii futi chave kuda kuitika akomana
A coup or not a coup. Isutakabvisirwa a monster. Ko ordinary people vaive mu street yaive military here? Vakatouya kuzogadzwa kwake Mnangagwa wacho. Lawyer mave kushandisa externalised funds ka dzamakanzi dzorai? Kabila wakangobvisa Mobuto wani. Iye Mugabe wakatourayisa vana vedu ave kumubatsira. Mugabe zvaiti Kabila Kabila wakauya sei pachigaro Mobuto aripo. It was the gun which made that change. Nyika hamulumi. Zivai zvekudanana muriko ikoko sekuru vachikotsira.
