Walter Mzembi, Zimbabwe\u2019s former Minister of Tourism has claimed that the governing ZANU PF is being run by the military since 2017 when the late former president Robert Mugabe was removed from office.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Zanu PF iParty yemasoja who usurped a civilian-led Party in Nov 2017 & defaulted to High Command Military ZANLA politics of the 1970s! There is NO political formation that can answer it\u2019s current Military construct!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n

I anticipated that commentators would be immediately tempted to compare pre and post Coup Zanu PF leadership models and condemn them as the same but clearly the gun is now leading politics in broad daylight and that is the curse in our midst!<\/p>\n

I attach evidence of contestations for the control of Zanu PF btwn Civilians & the Military \u2013 Joint Operations Command Minutes on 2013 Parliamentary Candidates, this is well before the advent of G40 as you know it!
