In Mutare, the annual Zanu-PF conference is presently in progress. As usual, the only item of national interest is the competition for power and the gratification of individual egos.
Other than the standard rhetoric, empowerment slogans, phoney job creation, and extending Mnangagwa's time in office till 2030, nothing productive is being discussed at the indaba.
Prioritising their needs over those of the national agenda is what Zanu-PF will do.
They lack the funds to purchase medications at our clinics and hospitals, but they have the means to bribe singers, pastors, leaders, and other significant figures in our society.
Our schools lack sufficient funding for development, and teachers receive inadequate compensation. This party is doomed.
Already we have started to observe the power struggles and internal conflicts within the ruling party.
As of right now, Mnangagwa has succeeded in enlisting the blue-eyed boy Kudakwashe Tagwireyi into the central committee and laying the groundwork for him to become the nation's future president.
A million-dollar question based on earlier declarations by the late General Vitalis Zvinavashe that the army will not salute a person without battle credentials: will the military honour him?
Like Mother Earth being pounded by the first rains. The sceptre of power will soon be lowered from the highest altitude and begin to shift hands. The political climate has shifted and will continue to do so. The clock of change is ticking away slowly.
A confrontation between Mnangagwa and Chiwenga is now imminent. No matter where he is, Simon Khaya Moyo has begun draughting a letter of termination. May his soul rest in peace forever. The Shake Shake Building is collapsing.
Chiwenga's demise would occur if Mnangagwa fired him. The nation's order will be restored by the military. Both the general public and the military continue to back Chiwenga. It is necessary to eliminate the state capture. Confusion exists in the cockpit.
If the two political gladiators' battle is not stopped, it will ultimately lead to chaos and major harm to the government as a whole, making it a failed state. In Zanu-PF, where power is not shifted quickly but there are constant conflicts, witch hunts, and expulsions, this has been the standard. When Mugabe dismissed Mujuru and then Mnangagwa, we witnessed that occur during his rule.
