Retired General Philip Valerio Sibanda might be getting tapped to replace Vice President Kembo Mohadi after President Mnangagwa pushed him out of his Commander of the Defence Forces gig and gave it to General Matutu. Political analyst Chipo Musarurwa Siziba thinks this personnel shuffle is part of some deeper ZANU-PF succession drama heating up in Zimbabwe, and Sibanda's military credentials could make him a unifying figure when the party inevitably tears itself apart over who gets power next.
Siziba dropped some cryptic stuff about Sibanda being the prophetic fourth swimmer that party insiders have been whispering about for years, which apparently means his rise was predetermined by some historical rhythm or whatever. She warned that people with financial interests in the current setup might push back against Sibanda taking a VP spot, but if the prophecy actually plays out, Zimbabwe could be looking at less chaotic leadership down the road.
