Christopher Mutsvangwa attacked Vice President Constantino Chiwenga over his criticism of wealthy business figures within the ZANU-PF party. The party spokesperson dismissed concerns about controversial entrepreneurs as distractions from economic achievements. Chiwenga recently challenged businessmen Wicknell Chivayo and Kudakwashe Tagwirei during the Politburo meetings. Both men donated millions in vehicles and cash to President Mnangagwa and party officials. Mutsvangwa defended these donations as legitimate empowerment initiatives.
The spokesperson urged critics to report evidence of corruption to law enforcement rather than pursue internal investigations. He accused detractors of attempting to undermine party unity through false narratives. Tensions between Mnangagwa supporters and Chiwenga allies have intensified over succession plans. Mutsvangwa stated that members promoting a 2030 agenda exercise democratic rights within party structures.
The spokesman revealed that President Mnangagwa remains aware of his national obligations regarding future leadership decisions. The party congress scheduled for 2027 will determine official leadership positions through established voting procedures.
