"Mnangagwa's Promise To Retire In 2028 A Tactic To Buy Time And Adjust His Strategy"

A political activist has dismissed President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s recent declaration that he will retire at the end of his second term in 2028, arguing that it should not be taken seriously.

During an interactive meeting with selected editors from both public and private media at State House on Monday, 17 February, Mnangagwa said he would not be persuaded to remain in power beyond 2028.

However, in a Facebook post, Hon. Learnmore K Magorimbo, president of the Zimbabwe Youth Alliance (ZYA), suggested that Mnangagwa’s statement was merely a tactic to buy time and not a reflection of the actual situation. Wrote Magorimbo:

Today, in a carefully staged meeting at State House, Mnangagwa once again played the role of a constitutionalist, claiming that he will operate “within the confines of the constitution” and that he has no intention of clinging to power. But history has shown that when Mnangagwa speaks of legality, he is only justifying his next move.

This is the same man who promised economic reform, democracy, and an end to corruption—yet all Zimbabweans have seen is worsening poverty, political repression, and a looting frenzy by his inner circle. His words are never a reflection of reality but a tool to buy time.

Magorimbo warned Mnangagwa’s opponents that the ZANU PF leader needs more time, not to transition power, but to further consolidate it. He said:

If he were truly sincere about stepping down, he would do so now. But his real intention is clear—he needs more time, not to transition power, but to consolidate it.

He is not preparing for retirement; he is restrategizing. His past actions speak louder than today’s empty words.

The ZYA leader argued that Mnangagwa’s assurances were not genuine signs of good faith, but rather a calculated move to ease pressure and adjust his strategy.

He further warned that the longer Mnangagwa remains in power, the more ruthless his tactics are likely to become. Said Magorimbo:

His grip on the state is not about leadership—it is about securing a life presidency by any means necessary.

Believing his promises now is not just naïve; it is a direct betrayal of history. Mnangagwa has no intention of stepping down willingly.

He is simply playing for time, ensuring that when he makes his final move, there will be no one left to challenge him.

*Definition of Probity* *Probity* refers to the quality of having strong moral principles, integrity, and honesty. It is often associated with ethical behavior and adherence to professional standards. *Characteristics of Someone Lacking Probity* A person who lacks probity may exhibit several negative traits, including: - *Dishonesty*: They may engage in deceitful behavior, such as lying or misrepresenting facts. - *Corruption*: This individual might be involved in unethical practices, such as bribery or fraud. - *Irresponsibility*: They may fail to take accountability for their actions or decisions. - *Manipulativeness*: Such a person might exploit others for personal gain, showing a lack of respect for ethical boundaries. In summary, someone who lacks probity is often seen as untrustworthy and unethical, which can lead to negative consequences in both personal and professional relationships.

Keep dreaming nana Magorimbo venyu ivavo. The worst people trying to swerve peoples minds are journalists and analysts who try to twist simple statements to mean other things. Rambai muchirota. All you say is on EDs advantage.

President has come out clean that he's a constitutionalist and RESPECTS CONSTITUTIONALISM, simple and straight to the quim, why is it so, Most of us we live up to these guys and RESPECT is a key nom, and we know "constitution" is our manual and step by step booklet to be adhered to by everyone cause it governs a state and it republic Saka it a done deal case when he says He's term ends 2028 Trump's term is supposed to be Americas 46th President since he's bounced but counting goes on, and he now the 47th a newer one being altogether, that's Constitutionalism followed

This only makes those who are against him angrier. He thinks that he is the smartest tactician alive. If the General, Geza and their team don't get this man out of office according to their original plan, he will wipe them out very ruthlessly. He is very insincere and fails to do the obvious.

Those silly enough to accept these insincere words from ED should watch out ,its more of a game of exposing his really enemies and now that he has known them he will go after them one by one ,eliminating them and by the time 2028 comes he will have cleared all those trying to obstruct his 2030 vision as he has plans to leave his son in office and another one as the Zna Commander, mark my words pachafiwa neavo varikutaura zvekuti ED abve pachigaro izvezvi nekuti plan yake ndeyekuda kusiya vana vake vavakutonga Nyika Ino.

wise interpretation , he is saying he wants to retire, at e sametime those who are advocating for his retirement are said to have committed an offence. Instead those who are preaching fr his stay are going against his wishes and are supposed to be arrested

Poor journalism and it shows that this reporter has a predetermined agenda against ED. How can you cook your own narratives different from what ED said. Saka chiendaka unonwza kune vacho vaunotenda kuti ndivo vanotaura chokwadi. Maudzwa na ED point blank kuti haasi kuzowedzera term yake ende agara achizvitaura but you come out and say heee arikunyepa. Why dou you want twist straight forward answers dzamapihwa. ED cannot step down now because he still has to finish his second term which he was voted. Like it or not.

@collins, thank you tell the dandahead who rushes to the comment section b4 reading the article perfectly, ED must just stop his loyalists who push for 2030 agenda if he is serious period, failure to do that speculations will never sease. People have a worldview that centrally places conspiracy theories of the unfolding history. No one trust him.
