Mambo's takes jab at Zanu-PF factional wars in satirical post
2 hrs ago | Views
Zimbabwe's popular fast-food chain, Mambo's Chicken, has stirred the political pot with its latest satirical post, taking aim at the ongoing factional tensions within the ruling Zanu-PF party.
Known for its controversial and humorous graphic advertisements inspired by everyday life, Mambo's Chicken's latest post carries the phrase: "Geza mawoko tidye," which loosely translates to "Geza, we'll eat your hands," a direct jab at Blessed Geza, a Zanu-PF central committee member and vocal critic of President Emmerson Mnangagwa. Geza has been at the forefront of one of the party's factions opposed to Mnangagwa's efforts to extend his second term to 2030.
Geza, who has openly called for Mnangagwa's resignation, has accused the president of being ineffective, tolerating corruption like the late former President Robert Mugabe, and fostering nepotism within the party. His opposition to the proposed term extension and his outspoken stance have made him a target for expulsion and even potential arrest.
The post from Mambo's Chicken seems to mock the deepening divisions within Zanu-PF, with many in the country closely watching whether the Mnangagwa faction will succeed in pushing its agenda for a 2030 presidency. Geza's faction has voiced concerns over the constitutional implications of such a move, while Mnangagwa's loyalists have insisted that the changes can be made without a referendum, a claim that has sparked considerable controversy.
The response to Mambo's Chicken's post has been mixed. Tembani Mudavanhu, one of the users engaging with the post, remarked, "Mambo's makuda kutushurana nema Zanu-PF. Remember vakatogumbuka ka avo," meaning, "Mambo's wants to mess with Zanu-PF. Remember they have already had a fallout with some of them."
This exchange highlights the polarization within Zimbabwe's political landscape, with Mambo's Chicken's post only adding fuel to the fire. As tensions mount, the question on everyone's mind is whether the Zimbabwean public will accept the Mnangagwa faction's moves or if the internal struggles within Zanu-PF will lead to further unrest.
