The wife of a top army general helped run Kudakwashe Tagwirei's big meeting about land issues last Friday. Nyasha Mhonda showed up wearing a hat with President Mnangagwa's letters on it. People think this event kicked off Tagwirei's plan to become the next president. Many believe Mnangagwa supports his bid for power. Some say Tagwirei wants to stop Vice President Chiwenga from taking over.
A war veteran claims Tagwirei pays General Mhonda 25,000 dollars each month for safety. His wife's help at the meeting makes people wonder about the general's political role. Tagwirei started his political move back in March when party leaders wanted him on the main committee. He uses money from government deals to build his political support.
The businessman proposed giving farmers official papers for their land. He said young people needed better chances to work the land and grow food. War veterans filed a court case against his land program. They worry farmers will have to buy land they already farm to get those official papers.
