Ex-Zanu PF MP tears into colleagues

VETERANS of Zimbabwe’s 1970s struggle for independence hold the power to decide who will rule the country between President Emmerson Mnangagwa and his deputy Constantino Chiwenga, a Zanu PF central committee member has said.

Former legislator and Zanu PF legislator Blessed Geza has also accused party colleagues of personalising Mnanagwa, who is now sidelining the ex-combatants who risked their lives in the push to remove the late former President Robert Mugabe ahead of the 2017 coup.

In an explosive interview with HStv recently, Geza revealed that the Zanu PF war veteran’s league was not the final voice of war vets, but existed as another group which is interested in the day-to-day ruling of the country.
