Tsenengamu warns musharukwa Mnangagwa to step down
3 hrs ago | Views
Former Zanu PF Youth League Political Commissar Godfrey Tsenengamu, now leader of the Front for Economic Emancipation in Zimbabwe (FEEZ), has issued a stern warning to President Emmerson Mnangagwa, whom he called musharukwa, urging him to "step down because it's best for you and your family."
Tsenengamu made the remarks during a press conference in Harare on Tuesday, where he announced his return to active politics after previously declaring his departure to focus on fighting corruption. However, the event was disrupted by an unidentified man who dramatically interrupted proceedings, accusing Tsenengamu of owing him two goats.
Speaking to HStv, Tsenengamu, now a vocal critic of Mnangagwa's administration, outlined his reasons for re-entering the political arena.
"I am here to announce that I am back in politics full-time," said Tsenengamu. "We cannot continue to fold our hands while the ruling party abuses institutions for personal gain."
The former Zanu PF member said his earlier decision to quit politics was based on a desire to focus on initiatives such as fighting corruption, promoting economic empowerment, and engaging in charitable causes. However, he said he had come to realize that politics and governance directly impact these efforts.
"I have reconsidered my decision to quit politics because I realized that politics affects every aspect of life, including the causes I aimed to pursue," he said.
Tsenengamu's return to the political stage comes as Zimbabwe faces mounting political and economic challenges, with critics increasingly accusing Mnangagwa's administration of corruption and failing to deliver on promises of economic reform.
The disruption at the press conference highlighted lingering tensions within Zimbabwe's fractured political landscape. While Tsenengamu dismissed the goat debt accusation as an attempt to distract from his message, the incident underscored the challenges he faces as he positions himself as an opposition figure.
As the leader of FEEZ, Tsenengamu has promised to push for greater accountability and challenge what he sees as the ruling party's misuse of state resources. However, whether his renewed political activism will gain traction in Zimbabwe's polarized political climate remains to be seen.
