Political activist Mbizvo Jealousy Mawarire has cautioned that unintended results may emerge from President Emmerson Mnangagwa's recent restructuring of the ZANU-PF Politburo. The party announced Tuesday that Mnangagwa had decided to move Secretary General Obert Mpofu to a Secretary for ICT position with reduced influence. Mpofu had resisted efforts by Harare Province to bring controversial businessman Kudakwashe Tagwirei into the Central Committee. Tagwirei maintains close ties with Mnangagwa.
Other appointments saw Patrick Chinamasa lose his post as Legal Affairs Secretary to Ziyambi Ziyambi, while gaining the position of Treasurer General. Jacob Mudenda, a strong supporter of Mnangagwa and former Treasurer General, assumed Mpofu's previous responsibilities. Mawarire told South African broadcaster eNCA on Wednesday that political upheaval could intensify and economic conditions might worsen further. He suggested that party divisions combined with economic failure could create conditions where any outcome remains possible.
