The opposition ZimPF has declared that there will be soon no more Zanuism in Zimbabwe and even dismissed alleged expectations by Vice President Emmerson Mnangagwa to take over from President Robert Mugabe.
The party through its Facebook page said Mnangwangwa will be ruthless than Robert Mugabe if allowed to be Zimbabwe President and they are saying no more to ZANUISM!! Enough is enough!!
"Zimbabwe Vice-President Emmerson Mnangagwa would be more ruthless than Robert Mugabe if he becomes president, a former lecturer at the University of Zimbabwe Brian Raftopoulos said 16 years ago when Mnangagwa rose from the political brink to become the fifth most powerful person in the Zimbabwe African National Union-Patriotic Front," said ZimPF.
"Mnangagwa who had just lost his Kwekwe seat to little known Blessing Chebundo of the Movement for Democratic Change was rescued by Mugabe who appointed him Speaker of Parliament and then elevated him to party Secretary for Administration, the fifth most powerful post in Zanu PF after Mugabe, his two-vice presidents and the national chairman."
ZimPF said Mnangagwa was one of the most feared people in the ruling party because of his reputation as an "enforcer" but this,
"United States officials said, would play to his advantage to hold Zanu -PF together. Embassy officials felt that if Mnangagwa became president he would be just as dictatorial as Mugabe but Raftopoulos believed that he would be even more ruthless than Mugabe," said ZimPF.
"Former politburo member Sikhanyiso Ndlovu also felt that Mnangagwa was not liked in the party because of his ruthlessness. He described Mnangagwa as a hardliner "through and through" and said given a choice, the politburo would select Sydney Sekeramayi to succeed Mugabe."
