ZANU PF, the ruling party in Zimbabwe, has sought Canada’s support in its bid to rejoin the Commonwealth.
Zimbabwe’s membership was suspended in 2002 for breaching the Harare Declaration, leading then-President Robert Mugabe to withdraw the country from the organisation the following year when the Commonwealth refused to lift the suspension.
Since assuming office in 2017 after a popular military coup, President Emmerson Mnangagwa has expressed a desire to rejoin the Commonwealth.
For Zimbabwe to be readmitted, it must adhere to the fundamental values outlined in the Commonwealth Charter, including democracy, the rule of law, and the protection of human rights such as freedom of expression.
Addressing the media after meeting with Canadian Ambassador Adler Aristilde, ZANU PF Secretary for Information Christopher Mutsvangwa said the ruling party has appealed to Canada, an influential Commonwealth member, to support its readmission. Said Mutsvangwa (via <a href="https://www.newzimbabwe.com/zanu-pf-begs-canada-for-backing-in-bid-for-commonwealth-readmission/">NewZimbabwe.com</a>):
<blockquote>
We also expressed our desire to rejoin the Commonwealth and our expectation is an influential Canada in the Commonwealth could also push for Zimbabwe’s credentials so that we become a part of this club of friends which historically means a lot to us.
</blockquote>
The Commonwealth, or the Commonwealth of Nations, is a political association of 56 member countries, most of which were former territories of the British Empire.
The organization promotes peace, democracy, and development, providing a platform for member states to collaborate on various issues.
Commonwealth membership offers numerous benefits to its member countries, including access to educational programs, scholarships, and initiatives like the Commonwealth Scholarship and Fellowship Plan.
The Commonwealth also promotes trade and investment among member countries, with various economic partnerships and development programs.
The organisation facilitates cultural exchange and mutual understanding through events like the Commonwealth Games.

Zimbabwe's ruling party, ZANU PF, wants Canada's help to rejoin the Commonwealth, a group of countries. Zimbabwe was suspended in 2002 for breaking rules. President Mnangagwa wants back in but must follow the group's rules on democracy and human rights. ZANU PF asked Canada, a big member, for support. The Commonwealth helps countries work together, trade, and learn. It also offers educational programs and events like the Commonwealth Games. ZANU PF hopes Canada will help Zimbabwe join the Commonwealth again.

ZANU PF Requests Canadian Support For Commonwealth Readmission

ZANU PF spokesperson Christopher Mutsvangwa has urged local authorities to take the initiative in attracting businesses and capital to areas of their jurisdictions instead of solely relying on funding from the central government.
While appearing on a current affairs show on ZiFM Stereo, Mutsvangwa criticised councils, particularly those led by the opposition, for their perceived failure to draw investment. Said Mutsvangwa (via <a href="https://businesstimes.co.zw/mutsvangwa-lambasts-opposition-led-councils/">Business Times</a>):
<blockquote>
Look, when people come to invest in a country, they don’t necessarily look at the president. Investment is done in a local authority. You want to put your factory in a specific location within a particular ward.
If the people who are running the cities cannot learn from what is being done in Mvurwi or Marondera by the tobacco farmers, it is because they are not, they shouldn’t be in those jobs in the first instance.
</blockquote>
Mutsvangwa said that it required national government intervention to clean up Harare after the city council failed to take action.
The government invested millions in rehabilitating several major roads, including Mazoe Road and Harare Drive, in preparation for the recent SADC Summit. Said Mutsvangwa:
<blockquote>
The president and his government intervened, they cleaned up Harare and look now, Harare is as good as can be and this is not going to be the end.
</blockquote>
Mutsvangwa dismissed claims made by some opposition mayors that they have encountered difficulties in securing resources from the central government, including funding allocations from the Zimbabwe National Road Administration (ZINARA). He said:
<blockquote>
These mayors who we are talking about, simply don’t know their job. They don’t know, they think that money comes from the central government.
No, money comes from the hard work of their own populations who are working in businesses where the mayors and councillors have attracted businessmen to those places.
</blockquote>
Meanwhile, the majority of mayors, chairpersons, councillors and staff from the country’s 92 local authorities, among them Harare mayor Jacob Mafume, are currently undergoing training at ZANU PF’s Herbert Chitepo School of Ideology.
Herbert Chitepo School of Ideology principal, Munyaradzi Machacha, who is also the ZANU PF National Political Commissar, is conducting the training.

Local councils should work hard to attract investment and businesses, instead of relying only on the central government for money. ZANU PF spokesperson Christopher Mutsvangwa criticized opposition-led councils for not bringing in investment. He said cities need to learn from successful places like Mvurwi and Marondera. The government fixed Harare's roads for a summit, showing that it can help, but councils should do more. Mutsvangwa also said that mayors who blame the central government for lack of funds don't understand their job. Many local government officials are getting training from ZANU PF to improve their skills.

Councils Responsible For Attracting Investment, Not Central Government - Mutsvangwa

Outspoken ZANU PF spokesperson Christopher Mutsvangwa appeared isolated at the recent 44th Ordinary SADC Summit of Heads of State and Government held in Harare on August 17, 2024.
According to <a href="https://www.newsday.co.zw/local-news/article/200031137/opposition-leaders-battle-for-attention-at-sadc-summitas-mutsvangwa-cuts-a-lone-figure">NewsDay</a>, while high-ranking officials mingled, exchanged pleasantries, and vied for recognition, Mutsvangwa stood out as a solitary figure amid a sea of handshakes and embraces.
At one point, he was spotted wandering outside the walls of Parliament, looking unusually quiet, with his posture reflecting an air of resignation.
Earlier this year, President Emmerson Mnangagwa dismissed Mutsvangwa from his role as minister of Veterans of the Liberation Struggle Affairs.
Reports indicate that just last week, on Defence Forces Day at Rufaro Stadium, Vice-President Constantino Chiwenga avoided shaking hands with him.
Political analyst Ruben Mbofana said Mutsvangwa’s unpredictable nature has contributed to his marginalisation by government officials. Said Mbofana:
<blockquote>
Mutsvangwa is a very unpredictable, volatile and quite unstable person. During the Mugabe era, Mutsvangwa ended up being fired because of his volatile and divisive nature.
We have been seeing the same thing happening here again with the Mnangagwa administration. At first, Mnangagwa kept Mutsvangwa close to him but of late with all his comments, and reckless comments actually being made in the media, he was let go.
He is somebody who cannot be trusted. So at the end of the day you lose allies, you lose people who can actually trust you and become isolated.
</blockquote>
Mutsvangwa’s rift with Chiwenga became public when he accused Chiwenga of being responsible for the arrest of his son, Neville, on charges of money laundering and illegal cash dealings.
He claimed that Neville’s arrest was the work of adversaries who were “trying to abuse the judiciary system, hoping that I can have an attitude against the state.”

At a summit, Mutsvangwa was alone while others mingled. He was fired by the president and now feels isolated. He accused a vice president of arresting his son. People think Mutsvangwa is unstable and hard to trust. That's why he's losing friends and becoming isolated.

Mutsvangwa Cuts Lone Figure At SADC Summit

ZANU PF spokesperson Chris Mutsvangwa has criticised South African opposition leader Julius Malema for commenting on Zimbabwe’s internal affairs.
On Monday, Malema, who leads the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) party, urged Zimbabwean youths to rise against President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s administration and prevent him from running for a third term.
Addressing journalists during a press briefing at the ZANU PF headquarters in Harare on Thursday, August 8, Mutsvangwa said Malema should refrain from interfering in Zimbabwean matters and instead focus on resolving issues within his own country. Said Mutsvangwa:
<blockquote>
Malema posits as a pseudo-revolutionary and a cryptic intellectual, but he never properly went to school.
He propounds big theories about how Zimbabwe should be run as if it were his own country.
He suffers from the Rhodes Syndrome. A sick young man (Cecil John Rhodes) comes from Europe, and lands in South Africa, where diamonds were discovered
Rhodes ends up as the ruler of South Africa and builds an empire from South Africa, dreaming of the Cape to Cairo.
These grandiose ideas about an interloping colonial are what shape Malema’s mind.
</blockquote>
Mutsvangwa reminded Malema that there are clear boundaries between Zimbabwe and South Africa, adding that the EFF leader has no authority to interfere in Zimbabwe’s internal matters. He said:
<blockquote>
If you are so good at leadership, why not make it a success in your homegrown ride to power in South Africa?
Why do you want to tell Zimbabweans who should be their ruler?
We say to him, keep your dead hands out of Zimbabwe’s affairs Malema.
Focus on trying to win a South African election. That’s why there are boundaries.
</blockquote>

ZANU PF is angry at a South African man named Julius Malema for talking about Zimbabwe. Malema told young people in Zimbabwe to stop President Mnangagwa from running for a third term. ZANU PF says Malema should mind his own business in South Africa and not talk about Zimbabwe. They say Malema needs to focus on winning elections in South Africa. They think Malema is like a colonial ruler trying to control Zimbabwe. ZANU PF is warning Malema to stay out of Zimbabwe’s business and focus on his own country.

ZANU PF Warns Malema To Stay Out Of Zimbabwe's Internal Affairs

ZANU PF spokesperson Christopher Mutsvangwa on Monday claimed that Zimbabwe’s gold reserves were taken from the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe (RBZ) and siphoned out of the country during the tenure of the late President Robert Mugabe.
During a press briefing in Harare, Mutsvangwa said the “transaction” was facilitated by an unnamed retired governor, widely speculated to be Gideon Gono.
According to <a href="https://www.zimlive.com/zimbabwes-gold-reserves-allegedly-stolen-under-mugabes-administration/">ZimLive</a>, Mutsvangwa claimed that following the imposition of sanctions on the country by Western powers, the then RBZ governor sought assistance from contacts in the Arab world, who said they could provide US dollars. He said:
<blockquote>
We had our gold reserves, then the Americans imposed sanctions, and then we were short of US dollars.
As we were short of US dollars, our Reserve Bank governor then, I won’t mention names, these days I am not mentioning names.
Our Reserve Bank governor engaged outsiders in the Arab world… they said we can give you US dollars but on condition that you support it with your gold.
</blockquote>
Mutsvangwa added that an agreement was proposed wherein US dollars would be exchanged for Zimbabwe’s gold reserves.
Under the deal, Zimbabwe’s gold was to be transported from the RBZ’s vaults to a location abroad, allowing the Arab partners to verify the reserves.
Mutsvangwa said while the gold was transferred as per the agreement, the country never received the US dollars as per the agreement. He said:
<blockquote>
The story gets murky after that… The gold reserves are gone, and the US dollars don’t come.
</blockquote>
Speaking after inspecting the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe gold reserves earlier this month, President Emmerson Mnangagwa said that a few months ago he had travelled outside Zimbabwe to inspect the country’s gold reserves held offshore. He said:
<blockquote>
Zimbabwe has solid gold in the vaults. In the past, we sold all our gold, and we couldn’t keep money, but now we have solid gold in the vaults.
So, year by year we should have about 1.2 tons of gold in our vaults as well as outside.
A few months ago I went outside, I will not say where, but I went outside where I inspected the gold there and I am satisfied that my officer carried out my instructions correctly.
</blockquote>
Earlier this month, Zimbabwe launched a new currency, the Zimbabwe Gold (ZiG). The central bank said the structured currency will be backed by an equivalent value in precious minerals – mainly gold – or foreign exchange.

Mutsvangwa Claims Zimbabwe's Gold Reserves Were Siphoned Abroad During Mugabe Era

The Zimbabwe People’s Revolutionary Army (ZIPRA) war veterans association said Christopher Mutsvangwa failed them during his stint as the Minister of Veterans of the Liberation Struggle Affairs.
Mutsvangwa, who is the chairman of the Zimbabwe National Liberation War Veterans Association (ZNLWVA), was removed from the Cabinet by President Emmerson Mnangagwa on 03 February this year.
Several ZIPRA members were reportedly abducted at the barracks and made to disappear or killed after their integration into the Zimbabwe National Army soon after independence in 1980.
<a href="https://www.newsday.co.zw/local-news/article/200023639/zipra-celebrates-mutsvangwa-sacking">NewsDay</a> reported ZIPRA Veterans Association secretary-general Petros Sibanda as saying Mutsvangwa failed to address the issue of their comrades killed during the Gukurahundi era and that of pensions for those who were dismissed from the army. Said Sibanda:
<blockquote>
We expected him to come out and tell the nation what is going to happen to the comrades, who fell during the Gukurahundi era.
You remember most of the ZIPRA comrades… some dismissed from the army are yet to receive their pensions.
Others have already died. We thought Mutsvangwa was going to do something about that. Maybe he was too busy. He remains our comrade, who slept on duty.
We are not celebrating as such, and we don’t want to be involved in the wars of his political party.
But what I can say is since 2017, when he [Mutsvangwa] went near the corridors of power, we celebrated as veterans of the liberation struggle, anticipating that he would fight for our rights.
</blockquote>
Sibanda also said they expected Mutsvangwa as the Minister of Veterans of the Liberation Struggle Affairs to address the matter of ZIPRA properties that were confiscated by the government. He said:
<blockquote>
We also thought he would make a follow-up on the vetted comrades who are yet to get compensation.
We hoped he was going to interfere as one of our comrades on the issue of the property rights, convincing His Excellency (President Emmerson Mnangagwa), that the caveat should be removed and return these properties.
</blockquote>
ZIPRA was the military wing of the Zimbabwe African People’s Union (ZAPU) party which was led by Joshua Nkomo before it merged with ZANU in 1987.

Chris Mutsvangwa Let Us Down - ZIPRA Veterans

<a href="https://pindula.co.zw/Christopher_Mutsvangwa">Christopher Mutsvangwa’s</a> removal as Minister of Veterans of the Liberation Struggle Affairs on 03 February came after he reportedly demanded that President Emmerson Mnangagwa appoint him State Security minister.
<a href="https://www.zimlive.com/mutsvangwa-fired-for-insubordination-after-stormy-mnangagwa-meeting/">ZimLive</a> reported sources as saying Mnangagwa fired Mutsvangwa, who doubles as the chairman of the Zimbabwe National Liberation War Veterans Association (ZNLWVA) “for insubordination”.
When appointing Mutsvangwa in September 2023, Mnangagwa reportedly told him to resign from the ZNLWVA “but for whatever reason he would not give up that position.”
Mnangagwa is said to have been growingly annoyed with Mutsvangwa’s refusal to step aside from the post of ZNLWVA chairman and things came to a head when the minister reportedly turned up to see him without an appointment on Saturday. ZimLive was told:
<blockquote>
Mutsvangwa had a proposal. He said to avoid the small inconvenience of him having to leave the war vets, Mnangagwa should appoint him as state security minister instead.
</blockquote>
Mnangagwa was reportedly “furious” as he felt that Mutsvangwa was “appointing himself.”
<blockquote>
The president also didn’t like the crude way he came across and there was a fallout.
Mnangagwa consulted his deputies Constantino Chiwenga and Kembo Mohadi and they agreed with him that Mutsvangwa should be removed immediately.
</blockquote>
Since Mutsvangwa was removed from cabinet on Saturday, various theories about Mnangagwa’s decision have abounded.
Some have claimed Mutsvangwa was sacked for attacking information minister Jenfan Muswere over board appointments at Zimpapers and the ZBC led to his departure.
Others have speculated that Mutsvangwa was fired over his role in opaque deals with Chinese investors.

Mutsvangwa Fired For "Insubordination" And Asking To Be Appointed State Security Minister | Report

Walter Mzembi, Zimbabwe’s former Tourism minister, has opined that Chris Mutsvangwa <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/2024/02/03/president-mnangagwa-fires-chris-mutsvangwa/">was fired</a> as Minister of Veterans of the Liberation Struggle Affairs because he is ungovernable and does not respect the authority of others. The Deputy Chief Secretary of Presidential Communications in the Office of the President and Cabinet, George Charamba announced Mutsvangwa’s removal from office on Saturday 3 January 2024 but did not give reasons for the dismissal. In his response to Mutsvangwa’s dismissal, Mzembi said:
<blockquote>
So many theories are being thrown around as to what may have led to Cde Chris Mutsvangwa’s abrupt dismissal by @edmnangagwa President Mnangagwa. I proffer my own based on what led to his dismissal by Mugabe in 2016.
It’s simply that Chris is ungovernable and does not submit to the authority of anyone let alone the collectivity of Cabinet and the President. He is an all knowing man of many words who does not know when to mute himself.
On several occasions inside Cabinet in 2016, he would take on Mugabe to an embarrassing point where @edmnangagwa himself then Vice President would be the only one able to silence him with the strongest rebuke and I quote his below;
“Chris, Chris I said shut up, shut up Chris, I am your Commander Chris I order you to shut up!”
At this point Chris would pack his Cabinet file and leave in a huff!
Mugabe believed in the superiority of ideas and would allow exhaustive debate on any item, but our brother Chris knowing it all, would roughshod over everyone at which point Mugabe would come in to exercise his authority as Chairman to restore order &amp; decorum and the Minister of War Veterans would refuse to recognise that authority. Disagreements were mainly around the agency he seemed to carry over Chinese Investments which would often blind his judgement. Our Cabinet team had strong characters who could withstand and fight back, I wonder though whether the current pedigree of Ministers can withstand his bullish behaviour without seeking the protection of Mnangagwa, which may be the case here. Mnangagwa himself left him out of his Cabinet line up in 2018 because he was minding this disharmony he would bring in his new team. He instead appointed him Special Advisor but even this would not cut. It was a gamble from the very beginning bringing him back into Cabinet.
Exploiting his parallel authority of @ZANUPF_Official Party Spokesman his last Press Conference last week was an intrusion into other Ministerial mandates and may have actually became his proverbial Waterloo. Going further to declare his ambition in his soliloquy he sealed his fate on that day!
With his highly opinionated acerbic style of delivery clearly misrepresenting the collective he has been responsible for even how some of us have not found each other with our former Party.
No wonder across the board his dismissal has been popularly received and secretly celebrated inside Zanu PF ranks and Government. I hope at personal level he has time for reflection on many things before his next move. He still is Party Spokesman @ZANUPF_Official and may keep it but clearly many are watching whether he will continue weaponising it against perceived and imagined enemies.
</blockquote>
Mzembi said that supporters of Mutsvangwa are spreading a story that he was fired because he resisted President Mnangagwa’s plan for a third term. However, Mzembi questions where, when, and how Mutsvangwa has been active in opposing this agenda. Mzembi believes it will be difficult to deceive the public and gain support for or against any ZANU-PF party. Some people think that despite his loyalty to Mnangagwa, Mutsvangwa has been too ambitious and has been aspiring to become the Vice President.

Mutsvangwa's Dismissal: "Chris Is Ungovernable" - Mzembi

ZANU PF spokesperson Chris Mutsvangwa said that President Emmerson Mnangagwa was not part of the heads of State and government who had a photo opportunity with King Charles III because Zimbabwe is not a Commonwealth member.
Mutsvangwa said this in response to reports Mnangagwa was snubbed during King Charles III’s coronation in London on Saturday.
Speaking on the sidelines of the burial of national hero Abraham Kabasa in Harare on Monday, Mutsvangwa said:
<blockquote>
We are not a member of the Commonwealth, the President is determined that we should be readmitted into the group of nations.
</blockquote>
Mutsvangwa added that Zimbabwe does not have the right to get close and personal with the king as it is not a Commonwealth member. He said:
<blockquote>
But as for Zimbabwe, we did not have the right because we are not yet a member of the grouping.
When we become a member, we would be part of those who will be close to the king.
We want to engage with countries that we have cordial relationships and re-engage those we have had frosty relationships with in the past.
Our President always says we are friends to all and enemies to none.
We were happy that our President was invited to King Charles III’s coronation.
When he was still a prince, he lowered the Union Jack (British flag) and raised the Zimbabwean flag after we had won the liberation struggle in 1980.
It’s a person who we like a lot and it was imperative for the President to attend.
This shows that the engagement between Harare and London is going in a good direction.
</blockquote>
Meanwhile, other African leaders who attended Charles III’s coronation had the opportunity to meet Prime Minister Rishi Sunak but Mnangagwa got to meet the United Kingdom’s Minister for Africa, Andrew Mitchell.
Mnangagwa also met Commonwealth Secretary-General Patricia Scotland who emphasised Commonwealth values in their discussion centred on re-admission.
Scotland said she was “pleased o welcome the President of Zimbabwe, Mnangagwa to Marlborough House for a courtesy call.”
She said they discussed a range of issues, including Zimbabwe’s ongoing application to rejoin the Commonwealth and reaffirmed the commitment to the values of the Commonwealth.

Mutsvangwa Explains Why ED Missed Photoshoot With King Charles III

An unnamed diplomat from the United States Embassy, Harare, reportedly visited the ruling ZANU PF party last week to pledge Washington’s support for President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s administration.
According to ZANU PF spokesperson Christopher Mutsvangwa, the American government official visited the party’s offices and said the US will no longer back the opposition against the ruling party.
Mutsvangwa made the claim while addressing a ZANU PF Mashonaland West Provincial Coordinating Committee (PCC) meeting in Chinhoyi on Sunday. <a href="https://www.newzimbabwe.com/us-diplomat-visits-zanu-pf-to-pledge-washingtons-support-for-mnangagwa-claims-mutsvangwa/">NewZimbabwe.com</a> quoted Mutsvangwa as saying:
<blockquote>
Let me tell you that three days ago, for the very first time, a top diplomat who was representing the Ambassador, who is yet to come, came to our ZANU PF party offices.
The diplomat said we have come because you are faced with elections, so we want to assure you that we have dug a hole in the ground and spat to say never again shall we side with only one party … this time around, all of your parties are equal.
America will accept the outcome of the 2023 harmonised elections expected to be held in a free and fair environment.
We as ZANU PF have maintained we are friends to all and enemies to none.
</blockquote>
Relations between the ZANU PF-led government and the United States became strained at the turn of the Millenium after Harare embarked on the fast-track land reform programme.

US Diplomat Visits ZANU PF And Pledges Washington's Support For ED, Claims Mutsvangwa

ZANU PF national spokesperson Chris Mutsvangwa has scoffed at allegations by Australian-based socialite Susan Mutami that she was raped by President Emmerson Mnangagwa and ex-state security minister Owen “Mudha” Ncube and had sex with some senior ZANU PF officials.
Mutami recently claimed that Mnangagwa and Ncube raped her when she was a minor.
Addressing a ZANU PF Mashonaland West Provincial Coordinating Committee (PCC) meeting held in Chinhoyi at the weekend, Mutsvangwa accused CCC leader Nelson Chamisa of concocting the allegations to discredit Mnangagwa. He said:
<blockquote>
Even trees and birds have sex … this is what they want to preoccupy us with. We want to build the country, and not (get distracted by) stories of sleaze.
Nelson (Chamisa) is cooking up allegations concerning issues between the sheets, and trading insults that this one had sex with so and so.
The plot will not deter the ruling party from moving on with developmental programmes to turn around the economy.
</blockquote>
Mutami claimed to have had sex with deputy mines minister, Polite Kambamura and former ZANU PF Mash West chairman Temba Mliswa, among others.
Meanwhile, Mutsvangwa dismissed reports of a rift between Mnangagwa and Vice President Constantino Chiwenga.

"Even Birds Have Sex," Says Mutsvangwa As He Wades Into ED-Mutami Rape Saga

Zimbabwe’s economy continues to grow and is now ranked top in Africa despite sanctions imposed by Western powers.
This was said by ZANU PF national secretary for information and publicity Christopher Mutsvangwa.
He made the remarks during a ZANU PF Mashonaland West provincial coordinating committee (PCC) meeting in Chinhoyi on Sunday, 15 May.
Mutsvangwa castigated economic saboteurs and currency speculators are trying to derail efforts being made by the Government to grow the economy. Said Mutsvangwa:
<blockquote>
Our economy is fast rising and is now being ranked top in Africa despite illegally imposed sanctions and some nations without sanctions, are trailing behind us because of the works being done by the Second Republic.
The wanton price hikes are uncalled for and are being peddled by our economic saboteurs and President Mnangagwa’s political rivals.
Regardless of the acts of destabilising the economy and our local currency, President Mnangagwa remains on top of the situation.
We will have a stable currency because that is the last fight for our independence.

Zimbabwe's Economy Now Ranked Top In Africa - Mutsvangwa

President Emmerson Mnangagwa on Thursday sent a condolence message to the Mutsvangwa family following the death of Paidamoyo Nonica Mutsvangwa.
Nonica (10) was a granddaughter to Information, Publicity and Broadcasting Services Minister Monica Mutsvangwa and ZANU PF national spokesperson Chris Mutsvangwa.
Nonica was a learner at Bishoplea Primary School. She was killed in a road accident near Selous on Sunday last week.
She was the first daughter of the Mutsvangwas’ eldest son Neville and his wife Natsai.
In a statement, Chief Secretary to the President and Cabinet Misheck Sibanda said:
<blockquote>
On behalf of His Excellency the President, Cde Dr Emmerson Dambudzo Mnangagwa and the entire Cabinet, Deputy Chief Secretaries, heads of departments, chief directors and staff in the Office of the President and Cabinet, I wish to convey our deepest condolences to the Mutsvangwa family on the tragic and untimely passing on of Paida Nonica Mutsvangwa in a road traffic accident which occurred in Selous on April 10, 2022.
The late Paida is the granddaughter of the ZANU PF Secretary for Information, Cde Chris Mutsvangwa, and the Minister of Information, Publicity and Broadcasting Services, Honourable Monica Mutsvangwa.
It is particularly painful that a young and intelligent girl in the prime of a potentially bright path in life succumbed to the injuries she sustained in the accident, hardly a week into the school holiday.
Without a doubt, the sad occurrence brought deep sorrow to the entire Mutsvangwa family, friends and relatives as well as the head, staff and learners at Bishoplea Primary School, where Paida was an obedient and diligent pupil.
May the bereaved family draw comfort from the knowledge that we share their grief as we pray that the Lord Almighty grants them the fortitude to remain strong as they bid farewell to a loved one. May Paida’s soul rest in eternal peace.
</blockquote>
Paida was laid to rest at Glen Forest Cemetary on Friday.

President Mnangagwa Mourns Nonica Mutsvangwa

ZANU PF spokesperson, Ambassador Christopher Mutsvangwa said they protected Zimbabwe’s founding leader, the late Robert Mugabe from persecution from the “country’s enemies” and later “dealt with” him in “a very surgical manner.”
Mugabe who resigned in 2017 after the citizenry marched demanding his ouster, later claimed that year that he resigned under duress amid reports that the army had him under house arrest. 
Just before Mugabe resigned, the late Morgan Tsvangirai, a former Prime Minister (2009 to 2013) and former leader of the opposition MDC addressed thousands of people gathered outside the Parliament building where he urged Mugabe to “step down immediately to avoid impeachment”.
Mugabe resigned before he was impeached.
Zanu-PF spokesperson Christopher Mutsvangwa on Thursday told HStv, a digital television station run by Alpha Media Holdings that Tsvangirai played a crucial role in President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s ascendancy. He said:
<blockquote>
We kept Mugabe in office when the threat was from the West. You do not open your armpits when the enemy is at the gate. So when we saw that there was a chance to deal with Mugabe we dealt with Mugabe in a very surgical manner where even themselves (opposition) became part of that process.
We built a broad, united front and it is also to their credit that for a change there was wisdom just that the wisdom died with the demise of Tsvangirai then afterwards the party was afflicted with its usual falling to the Western countries.

At the time, Tsvangirai is alleged to have lobbied Western diplomats to play down Mugabe’s ouster, which he described as a citizens’ doing, and embrace Mnangagwa. 
Tsvangirai succumbed to cancer of the colon in South Africa in February 2018.

"We Dealt With Mugabe In A Very Surgical Manner" - Mutsvangwa Speaks On Tsvangirai's Role

Norton MP Temba Mliswa (Independent) has described Zanu PF party spokesperson Chris Mutsvangwa as “politically immature” after he criticised his recent private meeting with former Chivi South MP Killer Zivhu and exiled former Cabinet minister Saviour Kasukuwere in South Africa.
In a statement on Monday, Mutsvangwa criticised Kasukuwere after he said ZANU PF should be saved from President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s misrule. He later described Mliswa as “a lost soul rapidly losing burnish”. Mutsvangwa said:
<blockquote>
One of them is in limbo as a garrulous cantankerous political independent — a lost soul rapidly losing burnish. He now desperately clutches onto the coattails of a sister (Mashonaland West Provincial Affairs minister Mary Mliswa-Chikoka), who prefers to ride onto the fortunes of a mainstream ZANU PF party and its tried and tested leader, Cde ED Mnangagwa.
</blockquote>
Mliswa who did not stomach the attack immediately took to Twitter and responded to Mutsvangwa’s remarks. He said:
<blockquote>
Mutsvangwa’s statement is a manifestation of his patriarchal, garrulous and vindictive political attitude which provide a basis for his poor career as a politician. Mutsvangwa was G40 together with Kasukuwere until he was used and expelled. That’s his source of anger.
He was part of G40 when it teamed up with Lacoste and expelled a faction accused of supporting Mai (Joyce) Mujuru, Gamatox. I was part of the victims. He was ambitious and thought he would be VP after that, but his allies booted him out. He has harboured that anger since then.
</blockquote>
Mliswa said Mutsvangwa’s mention of Mary Chikoka in his attacks shows his patriarchal character and the inherent abuse of women in ZANU PF. He added:
<blockquote>
Hon Chikoka is independent of me and has nothing to do with my own political actions. That Mutsvangwa attacks an innocent woman is deplorable.
</blockquote>
Mliswa said he met Kasukuwere as part of efforts to get the real story behind their expulsion from the ruling party.
The Norton MP said he will not be intimidated like Ray Kaukonde and others who are afraid to speak on why they were booted out of the ruling party. 
Mutsvangwa and Mliswa have in the past clashed over the Norton constituency.

Mliswa Responds To Mutsvangwa's "Attacks"

<blockquote>
<h2>RE: SAVIOUR KASUKUWERE: A DAYDREAMER AND HIS POLITICAL MOONLIGHTERS</h2>
ZANU-PF, the Party and home of the Zimbabwe Revolution has noticed the attempt at grandstanding by an exiled erstwhile G40 figure who goes by the name Saviour Kasukuwere. He is in a self-styled, self-imposed exile in South Africa.
He issued a statement in the wake of self-serving encounters with two vain political pretenders. Through this encounter, Kasukuwere seeks to smuggle and snuggle back into political relevance onto the ongoing and unfolding drama of the glorious Zimbabwe Revolution led by H.E President Emmerson Mnangagwa, the First Secretary of the ruling ZANU-PF
Clearly, three years of exile after his spectacular fall from political grace courtesy of the 2017 Operation Restore Legacy have taken the toll on the mindset of the exiled G40 Kingpin.
Completely out of touch with the political realities of the Zimbabwe political scene, he now seeks relevancy through some two moonlighters and pretenders.
One of them is in limbo as a garrulous and cantankerous political independent. A lost soul rapidly Tosing Durish me now desperately clutches onto the coattails of a sister who prefers to ride onto the fortunes of mainstream ZANU-PF Party and its tried and tested leader, President ED Mnangagwa.
The other moonlighter is a publicity-seeking political adventurer who somehow thinks his stunts may win him followers in Masvingo Province, the bedrock of a solid revolutionary of ZANU-PF Support.
For the record, President ED Mnangagwa has no need whatsoever of the purported and professed support of the three whistlers in the dark who wallow in the political darkness.
He will win the By-Elections and 2023 National Elections on the basis of the ardent support of the Zimbabwe populace.
Their vote will be a thundering endorsement of his game-changing government policies and programs. These are delivering palpable benefits and very gratifying prosperity to the totality of the Zimbabwe population across all social, political and economic and financial endeavours.
In a mere three years of the second Republic, Zimbabwe has now notched 7.8 per cent GDP growth acknowledged even by the taciturn World-Bank – IMF Bretton Woods Institutions of the once inimical West.
The whole country is now a huge construction site as roads, bridges, dams and other Infrastructures are rolled out by hard working Zimbabwean companies and workers, all funded by enriching coffers of the Govt President E D Mnangagwa.
“Pfumvudza” communal and small farmers, pivot irrigation for medium to large scale farmers solar and drip technology for SME agricultural entrepreneurs are all filling up granaries and driving up exports of fruits, flowers and nuts and other horticulture.
A mining boom driven by bullish global mineral prices, increased beneficiation anchored in pro-business Incentives by the government is attracting big-ticket and even Fortune 500 global Investors.
President ED Mnangagwa has gone further to revive and expand the all-important iron and steel industries as well as the ferrochrome and coking coal sector.
The Urban Renewal agenda will soon award title deeds to the owners of the existing stock of urban houses. This sprinkling clutch of tangible achievements will drive the people of Zimbabwe to vote E D Mnangagwa in 2023 By-Elections and 2023 National Elections championed by President E D. Mnangagwa.
ZANU-PF, therefore, dismisses the Political moonlighters and their desperate attempts to ride onto the success bandwagon of our visionary, hard-working and above all prosperity-delivering President E D Mnangagwa.
They can continue whistling in the dark of political wilderness. All to the blind and deaf notice of serious-minded Zimbabweans who focus on the record of unprecedented national progress.
On a related note, South Africa is proving to be a barren hunting ground for attention-seeking Kasukuwere. Recently his pretentious attendance at an ANC Revolutionary event in Natal Province saw ex-President Mbeki ignoring him completely among the attending audience.
Instead, the steeled and principled cadre, President Thabo Mbeki of the Southern African National Liberation Movement spent the length of time extolling his revolutionary soulmate, President ED Mnangagwa.
President Thabo Mbeki waxed lyrical about their joint stewardship of secretive ex-police – military operations of the ANC armed struggle in the 1980s. This was at the height of the military threat of the apartheid South Africa state apparatus.
These are the truly two cadres of principle and courage who are a far cry from the political loudmouth who is crestfallen Saviour Kasukuwere.
For spring WATER clarity, the day to day activities of ZANU-PF are the sole prerogative of President ED Mnangagwa.
At no time since November 2017 whatsoever has kasukuwere ever ghost managed the Party of Revolution from his lair of barren and lonely exile in South Africa.
Comradely
Hon Amb. C. Mutsvangwa 
SECRETARY FOR INFORMATION &amp; PUBLICITY AND PARTY SPOKESPERSON

FULL TEXT: ZANU PF Speaks On Kasukuwere, Zivhu, Mliswa Meeting In SA

War veterans leader and former President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s advisor, Christopher Mutsvangwa, has described attempts to grab Esidakeni Farm in Matabeleland North as unacceptable.
Mutsvangwa said this in an interview on the Zimpapers Television Network (ZTN) State of the Nation programme on Wednesday.
He was part of a panel that included Zimbabwe Democracy Institute (ZDI) director Pedzisai Ruhanya and Bishop Anselm Magaya.
They were discussing the topic, “Peace and Social Cohesion Dialogue Series Celebrating Heroes Day – a Nation Building Process”.
The farm in question is co-owned by Siphosami Malunga, director of Open Society Initiative for Southern Africa (OSISA), businessman Charles Moyo and scientist at National University of Science and Technology (NUST) Zephania Dlamini.
Senior government officials and central intelligence organisation officials are trying to wrestle the land from the three businessmen.
Ruhanya queried why the government was going after privately owned land. He said:
<blockquote>
… I was reading a story of one Siphosami Malunga. His father is a veteran of the struggle, he lies at the Heroes Acre.
This guy, from the story I read in court papers, got a piece of land. He did not even use the idea that his father Malunga is a national hero. He bought it using his own money.
But I was reading a story where that land he bought using his own money despite the fact that his father is a veteran of the struggle and a hero, the land has been invaded.
So good things are soiled by that kind of partisanship.
</blockquote>
In response, Mutsvangwa said he also had been following the Esidakeni Farm case. He said:
<blockquote>
I share completely the sentiments which he has expressed in every aspect. He speaks of the Malunga case, I followed it. Which is for me it is unacceptable.
</blockquote>
The three businessmen have since approached the High Court seeking an order to stop the land grab.
Last week, Dlamini was barred from entering the farm by people who claimed they had been given instructions by some senior government officials not to allow them access to the farm.

Malunga Farm Grab Unacceptable - Mutsvangwa

Zanu-PF Secretary for Science and Technology Christopher Mutsvangwa recently said Zimbabwe is likely to play an active role in the ongoing conflict in Mozambique’s Cabo Delgado region to save their ‘brother’ at war,
Mutsvangwa made the remarks while addressing members of the Zanu-PF Provincial Co-ordinating Committee (PCC) at Great Zimbabwe Robert Mugabe campus on June 20.
He said the nation was geared and prepared to play an active role to fight the Islamist rebels in war-torn Cabo Delgado. Mutsvangwa said:
<blockquote>_Zimbabwe can intervene in the Mozambique conflict. We have the capacity to deal with the enemies of the Mozambican government._
_The President of Zimbabwe is very confident and has got the situation under control. We will play a major role under Southern Africa Development Community (SADC) in helping our neighbour._</blockquote>

</ol>
Mutsvangwa, however, said he was “not allowed to discuss details on national security though.” Added Mutsvangwa:
<blockquote>_As a former ambassador, I know the kind of language I am speaking. Our former detractors are making efforts on the diplomatic front to try to re-engage us as a government and sooner than later you will have the results of the meetings availed to you._</blockquote>
He speaks amid calls by French President Emmanuel Macron for Zimbabwe to intervene and resolve the Mozambican crisis.
The northern part of Mozambique has been embroiled in a conflict between rebels and government forces since October 2017 leaving thousands homeless and hundreds dead.
Meanwhile, SADC resolved to send a standing army to Mozambique to help fight the Islamist insurgency.

Zimbabwe Can Intervene In Mozambique Conflict: Mutsvangwa

Information minister Monica Mutsvangwa’s son, Neville is embroiled in a dispute with Nedbank over “fraudulent” transactions where he allegedly lost over $617 700.
Neville Mutsvangwa, through his lawyers Scanlen and Holderness Legal Practitioners, said four transactions of $260 000, $200 000, $57 750 and $100 000 were done to four different beneficiaries who are not known to him.
He also claims that the four transactions that are yet to be reversed into his account have prejudiced his business operations, causing substantial losses and reputational damage in the sum of $250 000 as of October 2020.
Neville’s lawyers, Messrs Scanlen and Holderness Legal Practitioners wrote a letter to Nedbank on April 12 asking the bank to release the funds into their client’s account since the beneficiaries did not claim the deposited money, but the bank is reportedly reluctant to release the funds. Reads the letter:
<blockquote>_On 6 April 2021, the court granted your client’s application for joinder. None of the respondents attended court for purposes of contesting such joinder._
_In accordance with your client’s position set out in your letter of 4 March 2021, we requested that your client releases our client’s funds without further delays._
_The continued delay in the release of our client’s funds is causing him unnecessary prejudice given none of the parties your client has joined has claimed any right to title or interest in the amounts which are the subject of our client’s claim._
_We kindly request you furnish us with a copy of the court order that was granted on 6 April 2021._</blockquote>
Neville has also launched a complaint against Nedbank with the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe (RBZ) under the complaints handling procedure.
Mutsvangwa, Nedbank and RBZ officials also met at the RBZ complaints office where the bank insisted that the transactions were done via Neville’s mobile number and the device was a Huawei.
The central bank also said police investigations are continuing adding that the expected date of completion is September, 30.

Mutsvangwa's Son Loses $600k In Fraudulent Transactions

War Veterans chairperson, Chris Mutsvangwa has disowned another Twitter account saying it is a creation of the G40 cabal that wants to taint his image.
In an interview with The Herald, a state-run publication, Chris Mutsvangwa singled exiled former cabinet Minister, Professor Jonathan Moyo, saying he was impersonating him on Twitter to seek relevance. He said:
<blockquote>Jonathan Moyo at it again…impersonating. An existence of barren exile is coming to a desultory grind of hallucinations.
It is spewing out a witches’ brew of life-long espionage, intrigue, unrequited ambition, war desertion, spurious journalism and cantankerous politics. It now bears the yield of zero-to-negative credibility for the over-used and burnt out Professor Jonathan Moyo.
In desperation Jonso (Moyo) resorts to the cloning of my name on his social media tweets. All that, an extreme quest for the vanished readership of his verbal diarrhoea of lies and nonsense. It’s a cruel pity that Jonathan Moyo is a self-inflicted victim of confidence and esteem lost in oneself.</blockquote>
Chris Mutsvangwa has in the past also disowned other Twitter accounts accusing G40 of using the handles to soil his image.
The handles were being used to criticise ZANU PF officials including President Emmerson Mnangagwa over maladministration and other things.
In 2019, an account which Chris Mutsvangwa said was a parody posted saying ZANU PF had failed to run the country and should therefore quit. <a href="https://news.pindula.co.zw/2019/06/01/mutsvangwa-disowns-twitter-account-says-its-fake/">The post read:</a>
<blockquote>Am trying without success to find a conceivable and credible excuse for my party and govt’s failure to resolve the current economic haemorrhage.
Comrades, lest just quit and let the next generation take over. They too love this country. They need it more than us in fact.</blockquote>
Last year, the former Advisor to President Emmerson Mnangagwa also distanced himself from a Twitter handle which had invited opposition MDC leader, Nelson Chamisa to a dialogue with President Mnangagwa on an equal basis. <a href="https://news.pindula.co.zw/2020/01/14/mutsvangwa-disowns-twitter-handle-after-cde-chamisa-come-lets-reason-together-tweet/">Read the tweet:</a>
<blockquote>Comrade Chamisa come let’s reason together on a 50/50 basis and forget about the election cock-up.
Comrades, we will leave a great legacy and the economy will start to bud and sprout in two days.
It will be all smiles on the streets in hours. We are all compatriots and patriots.</blockquote>
Again, Mutsvangwa accused “the moribund and forgotten G40s” of creating the posts with the intention “to don the garb” of the War Veterans chairman.

Chris Mutsvangwa Disowns Another Twitter Account

Some members of the Zimbabwe National Liberation War Veterans Association (ZNLWVA) have called for the organisation’s executive to be disbanded on allegations that it is neglecting them.
The ZNLWVA executive has Christopher Mutsvangwa as the national chairperson, his deputy Headman Moyo, secretary-general Victor Matemadanda, spokesperson Douglas Mahiya and political commissar Francis Nhando.
Speaking during a press conference in Harare on Thursday, the ex-combatants, led by Ethan Mathibela, who was flanked by Ignatius Mutsinze, Shelly Kays and Fandafa Wandafa, claimed that Mutsvangwa’s leadership lacks vision. Mathibela said:
<blockquote>We demand that upon dissolution of the national leadership, there be a mechanism in place to start a process of conducting a congress which will allow the election of new leadership.
Since its inception, the ZNLWVA has been affected negatively by poor management and lack of visionary leadership.
We have observed that leadership has failed to establish an independent headquarters for the association.
There are no proper structures of up to date paid-up members, no annual general meeting, no clear policy to guide the direction of the association, no audited reports of the association’s finances.</blockquote>
The group said they had raised their concerns with Labour and Social Welfare minister Paul Mavima, who confirmed that he had been approached over the issue.
Mavima however, accused the war veterans of being presumptive by taking the matter to the media.

War Veterans Accuse Mutsvangwa Of Lacking Vision

Information, Publicity and Broadcasting Services Minister, Senator Monica Mutsvangwa is reportedly in self-isolation after her husband Chris Mutsvangwa tested positive for coronavirus.
Chris, the war veterans leader and former advisor to President Mnangagwa reportedly tested positive for the virus last week.
The minister missed this week’s cabinet meeting as she had self-isolated as a precautionary measure.
Several ministers missed Tuesday’s cabinet session after coming into contact with the late former minister of Lands and Agriculture, Perrance Shiri, who succumbed to the virus last week.
The development comes at the backdrop of a surge in the number of coronavirus cases in the country in the most recent weeks.
As of 5 August, Zimbabwe had reported 4,339 coronavirus cases and 84 deaths since the virus was first detected in the country on March 20.
As a result of the spike in coronavirus cases, a number of companies and government institutions have since suspended business as a strategy to curb the spread and transmission of the virus.
Parliament is one of the institutions that suspended business after two legislators initially tested for the virus. The number has since increased.

Major Events:
2016 Jul 21 On this day, war veterans turned against their long-time ally President Robert Mugabe, describing him as a dictator in a jolting rebuke underlining political manoeuvring over his succession and mounting anger over economic woes.

ZANU PF Political Commissar, Victor Matemadanda has disowned a twitter handle that bears his name saying it must have been created by his enemies to blemish his image.
The deputy minister of Defence and War Veterans speaks after the handle was used threat individuals trying to create two centres of power within the ruling party.
The account was also recently involved in verbal warfare with another account in the name of a fellow party member, Christopher Mutsvangwa who has also since distanced himself from the account. Matemadanda said:
<blockquote>I do not have a twitter account. Let it be known that Matemadanda does not have a Twitter account. The twitter account is a creation of my enemies who are trying to destabilise the party and soil my name.</blockquote>
Matemadanda said despite all the efforts, the ruling party will remain intact. He speaks when there are reports of divisions in ZANU PF.
Reports of factionalism increased last year when vice president Constantino Chiwenga who is alleged to be leading another faction was recovering in China where he was receiving medical attention for suspected poisoning.
There are also reports which suggest that the remnants of the G40 faction are working tirelessly to bring back fired members including Saviour Kasukuwere.

Chris Mutsvangwa while addressing a Mashonaland West provincial Coordinating Committee meeting in Chinhoyi said the youthful MDC Alliance leader Nelson Chamisa has refused to accept rules even in his own party. Mutsvangwa went on to say the move by the Khupe led faction to challenge Chamisa shows the nation is democratic.
Said Mutsvangwa at the said meeting:
<blockquote>
MDC-A’s Chamisa does not want to play by the rules. He has not accepted the rulings of the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC), High Court and Supreme Court. He even rose to presidency within his own party through a coup.
However, the legitimate leaders in his party have since gathered the courage to challenge him and take charge of the party. The move by the MDC-T leadership in challenging Chamisa and following the court shows how democratic the nation is. We however, implore the party to follow its constitutional and democratic paths
</blockquote>
During the same address, Mutsvangwa urged opposition parties to be patriotic and serve the interests of the country.

Mutsvangwa reportedly named Trafigura which <a href="https://news.pindula.co.zw/2020/02/05/kuda-tagwirei-sells-his-51-stake-in-trafigura-to-trafigura-zimbabwe/">was in a partnership with Kuda Tagwirei</a> and said they thought they have executive powers in Zimbabwe. He further claimed the cartels, more specifically Trafigura, were causing turmoil in Zanu PF according to the publication.
Said Mtsvangwa to the publication:
<blockquote>The cartel almost grabbed power in 2017. Their hold on power since 2017 has been sliding down a greasy pole
From being at the top in 2017, they are now sliding down a greasy pole that is why Trafigura is running for the exit because the cartel was saying do whatever you want, we have the executive powers in the country.
They were saying they run Munhumutapa Building (Mnangagwa’s office), we run the Ministry of Finance, the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe, all the ministries as you know are at their command and they say all the enabling ministries are at their command</blockquote>
Mutsvangwa also claimed Trafigura’s activities were causing chaos in the Ruling party and angering businessmen across the region according to the publication.

Cartels Think They Have Executive Powers In Zimbabwe - Mutsvangwa Reveals The Source Of Zanu PF Wars

Kudzai Mutisi 'Reveals' Why Tsenengamu And Matutu Defied ZANU PF, Says Jonathan Moyo Is Right

Zanu PF heavyweights, including Mnangagwa, Chiwenga, Vice-President Kembo Mohadi, secretary for administration Obert Mpofu, secretary for finance Patrick Chinamasa and committee member Perrance Shiri suggested that the youths should be expelled from the party.

Zanu PF Divided Over Matutu, Togarepi And Tsenengamu  - Report

MDC spokesperson, Luke Tamborinyoka has expressed doubts on claims that president Emmerson Mnangagwa is a trained lawyer.
Tamborinyoka says that decisions made by the president so far are indicative that Mnangagwa is not learned. He said:
<blockquote>For Emmerson Mnangagwa is not only content-free, despite claiming he is a lawyer. I have surmised in a previous installment that it is highly likely the guy underwent some paralegal course at a backwater college in the Copper-belt region in Zambia and returned home claiming to have a Law degree.
For how could a leader of substance, with proper legal aptitude, appoint more than the required number of non-constituency MPs, only to fire them hours later as he did to the likes of Chris Mutsvangwa soon after he pilfered his way into office in 2017?</blockquote>
Tamborinyoka further observed the lack of rationality in a number of other decisions which the president made saying a legal expert could not have done what he did.
He added that Mnangagwa who is “not politically charming” will “leave behind a legacy of emptiness” as already seen at the New York when he addressed an “empty auditorium” at the United Nations General Assembly and during the anti-sanctions march where “he once again indigenized the emptiness.”
