Reports say top businessman Kudakwashe Tagwirei might become Zimbabwe's next Vice President instead of Costantino Chiwenga. Many believe Tagwirei is being prepared to take over from President Emmerson Mnangagwa down the road. This marks a big change in Zimbabwe politics as people wonder who will lead the country next.
People close to the Zanu PF party say Tagwirei has gained lots of power behind closed doors. The Zanu PF leaders in Masvingo recently asked higher-ups to put him on their Central Committee. Experts think this helps him climb the party ladder before jumping to bigger jobs. Robson Mavhenyengwa, who runs Zanu PF in Masvingo, confirmed they want Tagwirei because he helps both the party and country.
Tagwirei became important in politics because he knows all the right people and has tons of money to fund Zanu PF activities. He gives cash to many projects across Zimbabwe, especially in Masvingo. His donations to the Seventh-day Adventist Church and Solusi University made him look like someone who cared about making life better for others. Insiders think his growing fame fits with Mnangagwa's plans for who comes next.
No one has officially said Tagwirei will become Vice President, but rumors spread that he could lead Zimbabwe someday. His business skills, political friends, and deep pockets make him a strong player in the Zanu PF power game. The next few months will show whether he steps fully into politics as someone who might replace Mnangagwa later on.
