Mabel Chinomona, national chairperson of the ZANU PF Women's League, strongly declared that President Emmerson Mnangagwa will remain in office despite increasing demands for him to step down before his term ends. Several war veterans, including those connected to the ruling Zanu PF party, have been vocal about asking the 82-year-old leader to resign. They claim he oversees a failing economy and allows corruption to spread during his leadership.
These demands come amid efforts by Mnangagwa supporters to promote the 2030 agenda, which aims to extend his leadership beyond his final term ending in 2028. Another group opposes this plan and supports Vice President Constantino Chiwenga as the next leader after the aging Zanu PF veteran. Speaking to the national executive of this important party organization in Harare on Friday, Chinomona criticized the ongoing attacks against the President, describing them as unprecedented.
She urged social media activists pushing for leadership change at the State House to stop attacking Mnangagwa. She argued he had introduced meaningful development projects since the beginning of the Second Republic. Chinomona told the cheering audience that people are assigning positions on social media, claiming certain years belong to certain individuals who will take leadership roles. She emphasized no new sun rises before the current one sets.
Chinomona stated it remains widely understood that after Mnangagwa, other leaders will emerge, as happens everywhere with leaders coming and going. She questioned whether positions should be gained through insulting others and which nation operates that way. She called on women to prevent the country from deteriorating during their watch, asking if anyone had lived somewhere where the President faced constant insults.
Chinomona serves as Senate President and remains loyal to Mnangagwa. Her statements were expected since she received her current prestigious position from the elderly leader. She praised Mnangagwa, describing him as excessively kind for not punishing critics. She mentioned he disappointed supporters by being overly lenient with detractors.
The Women's League leader accused certain unprincipled party members of accepting bribes as small as US$10 to criticize party leadership. This occurs despite leadership providing numerous empowerment programs, including chicken farming initiatives. During the Friday gathering, Chinomona displayed modern egg incubators that will be distributed across all ten provinces to enhance women's poultry projects.
