UNDER fire Zanu-PF national political commissar Saviour Kasukuwere has all but confirmed that he is plotting to topple President Mugabe after he accused the Mnangagwa aligned Herald of failing to understand the "seismic political movement underway".
Kasukuwere is aledged to have said this in a Twitter message yesterday.
Reads the tweet: "They have failed to completely understand the seismic political movement underway. @herald will require a new pair of hands soon. It's on."
Kasukuwere immediately switched off his cell phone when contacted for comment yesterday.
Kasukuwere is facing trumped up charges of working to topple the President by creating parallel structures and fanning factionalism in provinces.
Nine out of 10 Zanu-PF provinces recently passed votes of no confidence against him.
A probe team led by Politburo member and Speaker of the National Assembly Jacob Mudenda found Kasukuwere guilty on most of the litany of charges he is facing.
Kasukuwere was found guilty of creating shadow MPs as part of his bigger scheme to topple the President by appointing people loyal to him.
He was also found guilty of interfering in the operations of his home province, Mashonaland Central as he was signatory to the party's provincial account despite him not being a member.
He was also found guilty of victimising Women's League members over mining claims at Mukaradzi and Kitsiyatota in the province.
The probe team also found that Kasukuwere's half brother and acting Mashonaland Central provincial chairman Dickson Mafios and the province's secretary for administration Wonder Mashange had failed to properly administer the affairs of the province.
The case was referred to Zanu-PF's First Secretary President Mugabe and his deputies to make a final determination.
The embattled political commissar was recently pictured consulting a faith healer, Evangelist Chamoto from Guta raMwari Church in Bulawayo as his woes mount.
He has reportedly previously consulted tradional healer, Sekuru Ndunge from Chipinge.
Political analyst Mr Goodwine Mureriwa said Kasukuwere had made his nefarious ambitions open.
"He has just confirmed what the party structures have been saying all along that he is part of, if not the brains behind attempts to topple President Mugabe," said Mr Mureriwa.
"The party should take action against him because he cannot talk of "seismic political movement" when he is a member of the ruling party. What does he mean by that statement?"
Tanzania based analyst Mr Tafadzwa Mugwadi said Kasukuwere's statements were synonymous with opposition elements.
"It is the kind of language you expect from opposition elements, not from a person who holds a senior position in both the Government and ruling party.
"That statement is pregnant with meaning and exposes his unbridled ambition for power," said Mr Mugwadi.
"He has become unruly and the party should put an end to his plots," he said.
Asked for a comment on Kasukuwere's tweet, the Zimbabwe National Liberation War Veterans Association chairman Chris Mutsvangwa said;
"These are delusions of a midget mind that has no capacity to comprehend how statecraft operates."
