'Mugabe was prepared to handing over power,' says Jonathan Moyo

Former Higher, Tertiary science and technology minister Jonathan Moyo claims that coup toppled former Zimbabwe President Robert Mugabe was committed to handing over power to the youth.

Jonathan Moyo twitted, "Firstly President Mugabe had an electoral mandate up to 22 July 2018. Secondly and most important he was committed to handing over to the youth whose time has come through #generationalrenewal. This was at odds with the Junta who believe in entitlement! #GenerationalRenewal"

Moyo claims that any change or political transition in Zimbabwe which not based on or driven by #generationalrenewal is hollow and therefore doomed.

"Any change or political transition in Zimbabwe which, 37 years after independence, is not based on or driven by #generationalrenewal to bring the youth who are the country's demographic majority into mainstream politics; is hollow and therefore doomed!"
