Just hours before a big protest in Zimbabwe, ZANU PF spokesperson Chris Mutsvangwa flew out of Africa. Flight records show he boarded Emirates Flight EK714, leaving Lusaka at 9:35 PM on Sunday, March 30, 2025. The plane heads to Dubai and is expected to land early Monday morning at 6:27 local time. This escape came right before demonstrators planned to rally on March 31, pushing for Vice President Constantino Chiwenga to take control of the country.
People across southern Africa can't stop talking about why Mutsvangwa left so suddenly. Everyone sees this as part of the heated power struggle between President Emmerson Mnangagwa's supporters and those backing Chiwenga. Many critics blast Mutsvangwa for running away during such an important political moment. Some believe his quick exit signals that Mnangagwa's inner circle might be falling apart under pressure.
Sources confirm that Mutsvangwa traveled using his diplomatic passport. He has been facing growing heat lately because of his inflammatory public statements. The ruling party ZANU PF suffers from deep splits, and Mutsvangwa reportedly clashed with others about how security forces should handle public unrest. His rival, Chiwenga—who switched from military general to vice president—appears ready to make his move as protesters prepare to march for new leadership backed by military allies.
No one could reach Mutsvangwa for comment since he didn't answer any phone calls. The government stays silent about what his sudden departure means for the country. Inside sources say party officials scramble behind the scenes to limit damage from what several describe as Mutsvangwa's planned escape. The political crisis continues to develop by the hour as tension builds ahead of tomorrow's planned demonstrations.
