Tensions rise inside President Mnangagwa's inner circle as talk about impeachment spreads through Zimbabwe's ruling party. Justice Minister Ziyambi seemed worried at a recent Zanu-PF meeting where he called impeachment rumors "hallucinations" from troublemakers. He stressed that Parliament runs on strict party discipline, making any such attempt impossible without official backing. Former Senate President Madzongwe added that party members cannot act against leadership decisions.

Behind closed doors, the relationship between Mnangagwa and Vice President Chiwenga has reportedly soured since their partnership during the 2017 coup against Robert Mugabe. Experts link impeachment discussions to Chiwenga supporters who want clarity about who comes next after Mnangagwa. The Vice President appears to want the top job himself, clashing with rumors that Mnangagwa plans to extend his leadership term.

Party insiders believe visible anxiety among loyalists shows real concerns rather than political theater. Economic problems, public frustration, human rights issues, and corruption claims have intensified pressure on leadership. Though Zanu-PF holds enough seats to block formal impeachment, the public discussion shows deep divisions within the party.
