It is no longer a Zanu-PF factional fight

It is no longer a ZANU-PF factional fight, as many still believe. This is now a national crisis that demands sober reasoning and a shift away from the “internal fights” narrative.
ZANU-PF, through its Secretary for Legal Affairs Cde Ziyambi Ziyambi, has shamelessly declared at the Party's 22nd National People's Conference that it has unanimously resolved to extend President Emmerson Dambudzo Mnangagwa's rule beyond 2028.
In the same breath, the Party has co-opted its chief financier, Kuda Tagwirei, into the Central Committee - openly cementing the marriage between political power and corrupt capital. This is not reform; this is the final stage of state capture.
These moves are not isolated. They mark the beginning of a dangerous project - to mutilate the Constitution and erase every remaining trace of accountability. With a captured Parliament, a compromised ZEC, and subdued courts, ZANU-PF is preparing to amend the law and crown Mnangagwa as King Munhumutapa IX - the eternal ruler of a broken republic.
Let's be clear: this is not Chiwenga's fight anymore. It's not about factions within ZANU-PF. It's about the soul of Zimbabwe. The struggle is now in the hands of citizens - workers, students, churches, war veterans, and even honest people still trapped within ZANU-PF.
Zimbabwe's future will not be decided by party conferences or captured courts. It will be decided by a united people who refuse to be silenced.
ZANU-PF delegates claim that Mnangagwa's “visionary leadership” has brought stability and transformation. But the truth is visible to all - poverty, corruption, joblessness, and decay. Their resolution directs both the Party and Government to begin the legal and administrative process of extending Mnangagwa's rule.
They are moving fast - and so must we.
This is the moment for Zimbabweans, across party lines and generations, to say:
NO to dictatorship.
NO to constitutional mutilation.
NO to another decade of suffering.
Our liberation heroes did not die for a monarchy.
Our Constitution was not written to serve one man.
And our silence now would be surrender.
Zimbabwe - the baton is in our hands.
Let us defend our dignity, our Constitution, and our children's future - before it's too late.
