President Emmerson Mnangagwa asked Zanu PF members for complete loyalty as protests brew against his leadership. He made these statements as splits grew deeper within the ruling party. Many believe his deputy, Constantino Chiwenga, might try to take his position.
The Zanu PF party has split into two clear groups. One group wants to cancel the 2028 elections, letting Mnangagwa stay president until 2030. The other group supports Vice President Chiwenga and believes presidents should step down when the constitution says.
Former fighters from the liberation war plan to protest on March 31. Their leader, Blessed Geza, wants Mnangagwa to quit. Geza claims the government steals money, favors certain tribes, and fails at basic tasks. The party kicked Geza out after he spoke against them.
Officials have stepped up police presence and banned weapons to block these planned demonstrations. At a recent party meeting at headquarters in Harare, Mnangagwa blasted members he sees as disloyal. He claimed certain people work with enemies against Zimbabwe.
He told the Central Committee that anyone who refuses to follow party ideas must leave. He pushed everyone to look inside themselves and promise to be loyal patriots. Mnangagwa said all members must create peace and unity among themselves.
He attacked what he called backward thinking from certain members who act like chameleons. He claimed these people help outsiders tear apart Zimbabwe's history. Mnangagwa reminded everyone that 45 years after beating the old government, a small group still chases selfish dreams. He demanded that this behavior end immediately.
