War veteran Blessed Geza cautioned President Emmerson Mnangagwa against removing Vice President Constantino Chiwenga from office as factional disputes intensify within the ruling party. Geza warned on social media that dismissing Chiwenga would constitute a dangerous miscalculation comparable to former President Robert Mugabe's treatment of Mnangagwa before his 2017 ouster. Reports indicate Mnangagwa recently distributed luxury vehicles to senior military commanders in an apparent effort to strengthen allegiance amid speculation about Chiwenga's imminent removal.
Chiwenga retains substantial military backing and reportedly resents Mnangagwa's actions after orchestrating the coup that elevated him to power. Anonymous sources claim the vice president faces dismissal within days as the party prepares for its national conference. Analysts suggest competing military loyalties between the two leaders could trigger instability if Mnangagwa proceeds with the reported plan to strip Chiwenga of his position.
