Presidential spokesperson George Charamba dismissed criticism from Temba Mliswa on Tuesday and stated Mliswa holds no authority within ZANU-PF. Charamba said he would acknowledge Mliswa only after the former legislator rejoins the party or wins an election to parliament. Mliswa accused Charamba on Monday of betraying President Emmerson Mnangagwa, and cited historical patterns of disloyalty.
Charamba described Mliswa as a failed opposition figure attempting to position himself as a party savior. The spokesperson referenced comments from war veteran Blessed Geza about Mliswa's credibility. Tensions within ZANU-PF have escalated following the National People's Conference in Mutare, where delegates endorsed constitutional amendments to extend Mnangagwa's presidential term beyond 2028.
