Corruption accusations have escalated the power struggle within Zimbabwe's ruling ZANU-PF party between President Emmerson Mnangagwa and Vice President Constantino Chiwenga. Former legislator Temba Mliswa, who has family ties to Mnangagwa, launched verbal attacks against Chiwenga regarding alleged graft and Chinese resource exploitation. Mliswa raised questions about Chiwenga's wealth accumulation and referenced missing diamond revenues worth $15 billion from Chiadzwa.
Chiwenga had previously presented anti-corruption documents targeting Mnangagwa allies during a recent politburo session. The president subsequently canceled his international travel plans, including his appearance at the UN General Assembly, amid concerns about potential arrests during his absence. The competing factions have made corruption the central weapon in their leadership battle.
