Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>LOCAL Government minister Daniel Garwe took bootlicking to another level, saying removing President Emmerson Mnangagwa is never an easy task as he was \u201cGod-anointed\u201d.<\/p>\n

Garwe made the remarks, while addressing councillors attending a Zanu PF indoctrination programme in Harare organised by the Herbert Chitepo School of Ideology.<\/p>\n

Over 1 300 councillors from around the country attended the event.<\/p>\n

In his closing remarks on Monday, Garwe said the ruling party\u2019s 2030 agenda was God\u2019s plan.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have the duty to build the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou hear about Vision 2030. It\u2019s not the brainchild of the President to come up with that plan,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe does it through divine visions. He sees visions from the one who anointed him. And it\u2019s God.<\/p>\n

\u201cLeaders are chosen by God and we, the people, only support what God has chosen for us.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat is why after elections, no matter how much you want to fight to remove the anointed one, he will still stand.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mnangagwa\u2019s term of office constitutionally ends in 2028.<\/p>\n

His loyalists are championing ED2030 slogans saying the President needs to fulfil his vision to transform Zimbabwe into an upper middle income economy by 2030.<\/p>\n

The 2030 agenda has caused serious ructions in the ruling party as some Mnangagwa loyalists now want the Constitution amended to ensure he extends his term of office.<\/p>\n

Party members supporting the ED2030 agenda are using public meetings to grovel at Mnangagwa\u2019s presidency much like the way the late former President Robert Mugabe\u2019s loyalists used to do.<\/p>\n

Former Information minister Webster Shamu once likened Mugabe to Cremora, a powder milk brand.<\/p>\n

The late Zanu PF spokesperson Simon Khaya Moyo also once described Mugabe as a liberator of unparalleled proportions, who God should keep for a long time to rule Zimbabwe.<\/p>\n

However, Mugabe\u2019s loyalists quickly switched camps after he was forced out of office at the height of a military coup in November 2017.<\/p>\n

On Monday, Garwe rallied opposition Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) councillors who attended the event to support Mnangagwa and the ruling party\u2019s programmes.<\/p>\n

\u201cGo and tell others there that Zimbabwe is our country. Our colleagues from the opposition, thank you, keep it up,\u201d the minister said.<\/p>\n

\u201cGo and spread the word. Even you from Zanu PF, go and spread the word.<\/p>\n

\u201cGo and preach the gospel of unity as Zimbabweans, that is what the President (Mnangagwa) is saying. We are just messengers.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe encourages us to tell the people not to fight each other, or mock each other. We are all Munhumutapa\u2019s descendants.\u201d<\/p>\n

Garwe, who had warned councillors against boycotting the indoctrination programme, promised a review of their allowances and other benefits.<\/p>\n

During the training, Herbert Chitepo School of Ideology principal director Ishmael Mada revisited the November 2017 coup saying Mugabe was a \u201ccunning leader\u201d who refused to sign his initial resignation letter which he had sent to Parliament.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was the issue of constitutionalism. And as he [Vice-President Constantino Chiwenga] addressed us that evening, he never referred to the Defence Forces of Zimbabwe having taken all the power,\u201d Mada said.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe merely said, restore legacy… But somehow, the old man, you know, he was very cunning. He had not appended his signature to that letter.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut everything else he had stated, in terms of maintaining stability in our nation, I will defend from this day here by taking up my resignation from the office of… But he had not appended his signature.\u201d<\/p>\n
