Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>A group of former ZANU PF members has accused President Emmerson Mnangagwa of reneging on an alleged earlier agreement with his deputy, Constantino Chiwenga, to serve a single presidential term before handing over power.<\/p>\n

Former ZANU PF Youth League leader, Jim Kunaka, who leads the group called ZANU PF Original, on Saturday said Mnangagwa was leading a ZANU PF faction called Lacoste which no longer serves the interests of the party.<\/p>\n

Kunaka also claimed that Mnangagwa had a gentleman\u2019s agreement with Chiwenga to pass on the baton after serving one term. He said:<\/p>\n

If they agreed with Gen Constantino Guvheya Chiwenga that he will hand over power to lead after five years, what makes him change?<\/p>\n

He must honour his promise to Chiwenga\u2026 There is no need to go to Congress and say \u20182023 ED Pfeee\u2019 for what?<\/p>\n

Kunaka said the ZANU PF Lacoste faction has given birth to online activists and shadowy organisations such as Varakashi, Young Women4ED, Men BelievED, MaHwindi for ED, among others.<\/p>\n

In 2014, Kunaka and other senior ZANU PF officials were expelled from the ruling party for fomenting factionalism.<\/p>\n

During his time in ZANU PF, he was allegedly linked with Chipangano, a terror gang based in Mbare, Harare.<\/p>\n
