Kudakwashe Tagwirei walked into the Zanu PF politburo meeting on Wednesday. The Sakunda Holdings chief came to talk about raising money for the party. People whisper that he wants to become president someday. He just joined the central committee recently. His first central committee meeting happens on Thursday.
Party insiders say Tagwirei gives more cash to Zanu PF than anyone else. He talked about his plans to help senior party leaders during the meeting. The businessman wants to hand out cars to all the important people. Central committee members will each receive a Ford off-road vehicle. Politburo members will drive away with Toyota VX 300s.
Tagwirei made his millions from government deals that never went to public bidding. He controls party money and that gives him real power. His moves to take charge of party operations will make enemies angry. Vice president Constantino Chiwenga will not like this at all. Christopher Mutsvangwa will also fight back against Tagwirei's growing influence.
The wealthy donor has never said he wants to run for president openly. His actions show he plans to challenge others when President Emmerson Mnangagwa steps down. The party will pick a new leader at the 2027 congress. Tagwirei positions himself as the man with the money and connections to win.
