War Veterans Challenge Zimbabwe's President Over Leadership.
A group of war veterans held a press conference yesterday to strongly criticize President Mnangagwa and demand his resignation.
"We invited him to leave peacefully, but he continues pushing the 2030 agenda," said spokesperson Blessed Geza. "The only 2030 he will see is half past eight on his watch."
The veterans rejected claims they acted on behalf of Vice President Chiwenga. "We stand against corruption, nepotism, and misgovernance - the same values that drove us to fight Ian Smith," Geza stated. "We speak for those who sent us to the liberation war in the 1970s."
The group expressed outrage over recent government appointments and actions. They criticized Minister Tatenda Mavetera for allegedly insulting Vice President Chiwenga, a decorated war hero. They also questioned the appointment of Daniel Garwe, citing his past service in the Rhodesian army.
"We as war veterans and the people of Zimbabwe have the right to remove Mnangagwa from office because we took him to State House," Geza declared. He reminded listeners of Mnangagwa's earlier departure from Zimbabwe with just his son and cousin.
The veterans emphasized their role in Zimbabwe's liberation struggle, contrasting their service with current government officials they accuse of undermining the country's leadership.
