Former Robert Mugabe supporter Jealousy Mawarire warns that President Emmerson Mnangagwa's changes to the Politburo may increase party tensions. The analyst spoke on South African television about potential risks from recent leadership adjustments. Mawarire believes these moves could create serious internal conflicts within Zanu-PF. He suggests extreme situations might even trigger military intervention.

Mnangagwa reassigned Secretary General Obert Mpofu to an Information Technology position before the upcoming Mutare congress. Jacob Mudenda replaced Mpofu as secretary general. Patrick Chinamasa lost his position to Ziyambi Ziyambi as Secretary for Legal Affairs. These changes appear designed to reduce Vice President Constantino Chiwenga's political influence.

The constitutional expert claims Mnangagwa seeks an illegal third presidential term despite legal restrictions. Zimbabwe's constitution permits only two five-year terms, as outlined in Section 95. Mawarire argues this ambition drives current party divisions and constitutional concerns. Provincial structures reportedly mobilize support for extending Mnangagwa's presidency until 2030.
