Zimbabwe lawmakers plan to remove President Mnangagwa from office based on claims he cannot run the country due to mental health problems. The draft motion says doctors found he has vascular dementia, causing severe memory loss and poor judgment. This brain condition makes him unfit to serve as president according to Section 97 of Zimbabwe's Constitution, which lets officials remove a leader who cannot perform their duties.
Medical teams confirmed on March 30, 2025, that Mnangagwa shows a serious cognitive decline affecting his memory, thinking, and behavior. The motion claims this creates a national security risk because he cannot make good decisions about defense, economic policy, or international relations. His mental state has reportedly allowed widespread corruption and economic failure across the country.
People close to the president have taken control of his power and made choices using his name. The document lists many examples of corrupt deals, including treasury bills worth $4.5 billion given to Kudakwashe Tagwirei, which caused currency problems. It mentions the sale of POSB Bank, which laundered $6 billion through shady investors called the Hebrew Group, directed by Mnangagwa and Attorney General Virginia Mabhiza.
The motion describes how officials stole $1.9 billion through Kuvimba Mining House shares, involving Tagwirei, Finance Minister Mthuli Ncube, George Guvamatanga, and John Mangudya. It points to numerous fake presidential projects used to steal money, including input schemes, borehole drilling, rural goat programs, tick grease distribution, and various agricultural initiatives that never helped citizens but enriched corrupt leaders.
The e-passport system became another way to steal millions of dollars yearly, with money flowing through CBZ Bank and Blue Star, companies controlled by Tagwirei and Mnangagwa's son. Officials covered up a $100 million election commission fraud involving Wicknell Chivhayo, Mike Chimombe, and Moses Mpofu, with cash taken from the Treasury and shared with the president's family members.
Under the Finance Ministry leadership by Ncube and Guvamatanga, the government issued billions in treasury bills that destroyed pension funds and scared away investors. The national debt has grown to $21.1 billion, more than double the $9.9 billion under former president Mugabe, with no realistic plan to pay it back. The Gold Export Incentive Scheme lost $750 million through fraud by Scott Sakupwanya and Tagwirei using a company called Betterbrands.
The motion accuses officials of giving dangerous drug permits to friends through Chivhayo, helping the illegal drug trade that brings millions of dollars to criminal networks. It calls the Vision 2030 campaign unconstitutional and designed to extend Mnangagwa's time in office illegally. The Senate and National Assembly must vote together to authorize an investigation committee that can examine these accusations and decide if the president should be removed.
