By Shiellah Sibanda| A daring ex army captain accused of plotting a coup “hand in glove” with Vice President Emmerson Mnangagwa, Albert Matapo is the one who pulled through the Robert Mugabe collapse rumour letter which circulated on Tuesday morning.
Captain Albert Matapo who was once jailed for 7 years on allegations of conniving for Vice President Emmerson Mnangagwa, told ZimEye.com he received the “leak” from a named serving brigadier who is within the same four walls with President Robert Mugabe. He wrote to ZimEye.com on Monday, “Munhu (this person- name supplied) andipa ari mumadziro maSekuru”
He also added saying, “this source works kumaOffices aana Chiwenga zvanzi kuri kumhanyiwa. Let us wait.”
Matapo who now lives in exile writing in on Monday morning said of the source, “he sent the message as it is achiti zviri kutenderera kubasa kwavo but zviri kutyisa. I forwarded it as it is.”
Rumours of President Robert Mugabe’s deteriorating health have continued annually but the latest one comes at a time when he several times fumbled over his speech in public and exhibited strong difficulty at walking.
Due to the nature of the content, it could only be published as a letter in whole.
Matapo who says civil servants must topple the regime, was in 2007 arrested and imprisoned without trial for nearly a decade over allegations of plotting to install Vice President Emmerson Mnangagwa. Those allegations failed the test of evidence.
Matapo argues saying his arrest had nothing to do with Emmerson Mnangagwa but was all to do with a state security attack on his newly launched party, the United Crusade for Achieving Democracy (UCAD).
Matapo insists that Zanu PF’s days in government are numbered.

Oh my god , reading from the comments below its very clear that most would want the president dead like yesterday . This can’t be right . What is wrong with us Zimbabweans.Wishing someone dead is not cool at all dispite all the bad things he did. However history tells us that what we wish for is completely different from what God planned for us. Because we all want him dead , he is even going to live longer . Let’s fight to change the system # culture , the ZANU way .
Thank your source from many of us, For years there have been rumours but now we have a name we know something is afoot.

But ZimEye is it really necessary to publish names? If we have juicy stories we will not come forward. This is risking the lives of informants especially if they are in Zimbabwe.
For the heroic send off!!!
Let’s hope it happens before his bday so we can use the cash for civil savants lol
