A political analyst Pedzisayi Ruhanya has said President Robert Mugabe faces serious threat from Manicaland considering the history of the area during the liberation struggle with Chief Rekayi Tangwena whose resistance is second to none.
Ruhanya said Manicaland poses the greatest threat to Mugabe's power because of its position in the history of the liberation movement.
"On the peasant struggles the icon is Chief Rekayi Tangwena whose resistance is second to none in the history of the nation. On nationalism and the liberation war itself the leadership role and personal sacrifice of Hebert Chitepo has no match even in comparison with Mugabe himself."
Ruhanya said quoting Wilbert Sadomba's article (2016) "Chitepo involved himself at the formative stages of the war, leaving his profession as Tanzania's first Director of Public Prosecution a position far greater than a mere teacher."
