Former legislator Temba Mliswa left Zimbabwe for South Africa after publicly challenging Vice President Constantino Chiwenga's presidential ambitions and accusing him of corruption. Mliswa named businessman Kudakwashe Tagwirei as President Emmerson Mnangagwa's probable successor in leaked audio recordings. The former lawmaker claimed Chiwenga overestimates his military influence and pursues personal vendettas rather than genuine anti-corruption efforts.
Arsonists destroyed Mliswa's Shurugwi homestead on Wednesday, causing damage exceeding $120,000. Witnesses reported hearing a vehicle before discovering the bedroom hut engulfed in flames. Mliswa connected the attack to his transparency campaign within the ruling party. Authorities opened investigations while Mliswa relocated to South Africa amid escalating factional disputes over succession within Zanu-PF.
