UK-based Zimbabwean lawyer Brighton Mutebuka said that Zimbabwe has entered the age of “Vene” whose guiding ideology is transactional politics.
“Vene” is a Karanga (one of the Shona dialects) word literally translated as “the owners”, that is the owners of the country and its wealth, and is used derisively to describe Zimbabwe’s ruling elite. Posting on X (formerly Twitter), Mutebuka <a href="https://x.com/BMutebuka/status/1723482386829070837?s=20">wrote</a>:
<blockquote>
The Age Of Vene – Zimbabwean Politics Redefined
a. Many Zimbabweans are in denial about the arrival of the age of Vene. This applies to both those in the ruling party &amp; the opposition movement.
b. Vene’s guiding “ideology” is transactional politics. They can work with anyone who submits to their rule.
c. The Rule of Law, Constitutions &amp; conventions are irrelevant. They apply to their rivals &amp; opponents &amp; not to them.
d. The law is what Vene says. If it’s inconvenient they either ignore or reinterpret it. If all fails they make new ones.
e. The people’s democratic preferences are not important. What is important is to control who counts, formally declares the winner, presides over complaints, arrests those who complain &amp; sends those who complain to jail!
f. Vene are so special that they even get to choose who “competes” against them and who to allocate state resources earmarked for successful contestants, so they can even create competition for their opponents as if it’s not hard enough to compete against them!
g. If Vene don’t like the outcome, they use proxies &amp; their control of levers of state power to change that outcome via recalls &amp; command by-elections until they get the outcome that they want.
h. Vene are not concerned with subtleties &amp; other diplomatic niceties. They like to project their power brazenly as a mark of unrivalled dominance over their subjects. They can mow you down in broad daylight.
i. So dazed and confused are Vene’s opponents by their antics that they subconsciously fall into the same trap over &amp; over again – and are then at the mercy of being repeatedly devoured by Vene, like generations of herds of helpless &amp; flailing Wildebeests attempting to cross the great Masai Mara River at the height of The Migration using the steep ends of the banks, only to end up between the jaws of the lying in wait Crocs!
j. Some critics will say, if you have a Constitution, structures, Voters Roll &amp; V11s &amp; you present these to courts you won’t be devoured. After you are devoured, some will say, only if you had stayed without those, maybe you wouldn’t have been devoured after all!
k. Yet others will say, if we create another united smart creature, we won’t be devoured. Others will also say, going into the River in great numbers to confront Crocs will hack it via the sheer weight of numbers!
l. All are in denial that the age of Vene is unlike any other. When it will finally dawn on them, it will be way too late! You see, Crocs have been perfecting their “art” for millions of years!

Zimbabwean Politics In The Age Of "Vene": Analysis By Brighton Mutebuka

Journalist and government critic Hopewell Chin’ono says the conviction of Zimbabwe Miners Federation (ZMF) president <a href="https://pindula.co.zw/Henrietta_Rushwaya">Henrietta Rushwaya</a> on charges of attempting to smuggle 6kg of gold out of the country is a “sideshow” adding that the former ZIFA chief executive officer is part of the powerful “Vene” elite.
“Vene” is a Shona word literally translated as “the owners”, that is the owners of the country and its wealth, and is used to derisively describe Zimbabwe’s ruling elite.
Chin’ono said Rushwata is related to President Emmerson Mnangagwa and the Chief Secretary to the President and Cabinet, Martin Rushwaya.
He argued that it was too early to comment on the conviction as Rushwaya has not yet been sentenced.
Chin’ono suggested that the courts may give her a suspended sentence, and even if she is imprisoned, she may appeal and a higher court could overturn both the conviction and sentence.
Responding to people who had asked him to comment on the conviction, <a href="https://x.com/daddyhope/status/1720092909196935261?s=20">Chin’ono said</a>:
<blockquote>
I won’t comment because we still have to wait for her sentencing.
Will she get a custodial sentence, or she will get a suspended sentence?
After that is done, she will appeal and apply for bail if she gets a custodial sentence.
Will she get bail or she will be denied bail like Jacob Ngarivhume?
Will her appeal in the High Court be successful or not?
Henrieta Rushwaya is part of the powerful ZANUPF “Vene” political elites, it would be unwise for anyone to make any premature pronouncements now before all the above-mentioned processes have played out.
So for now this is a sideshow, it is not worthy of me commenting on it until the whole saga has been played out.
</blockquote>
Earlier this week, Rushwaya was convicted on charges of attempting to smuggle 6kg of gold out of the country.
She was arrested at the Robert Gabriel Mugabe International Airport on 26 October 2020 while trying to board a flight to Dubai.
The gold, which was inside her handbag, was valued at approximately US$333 000.00.
Following her conviction, Rushwaya was remanded in custody to 10 November 2023, for sentencing.
