Journalist Hopewell Chin'ono has rejected ZANU-PF legislator Energy Mutodi's apology to Finance Ministry Permanent Secretary George Guvamatanga, stating the retraction fails to address exposed corruption allegations.

Zimbabwe's ruling party, Zanu PF, faces renewed internal conflict as Vice President Constantino Chiwenga targets business networks linked to President Emmerson Mnangagwa. Chiwenga accuses these groups of state looting, but observers suggest the campaign masks succession battles resembling conflicts from Robert Mugabe's final years.

War veterans defended Matuke through a petition, yet analysts view the clash as fundamentally about post-Mnangagwa leadership rather than historical credentials.
Businessman Wicknell Chivayo allegedly funded Chiwenga's wedding...
