Mugabe gave Julius Malema 1 Million ? Zimbabwe finally moves out from Mugabe's shadow

Acting Herald Editor Tichaona Zindoga has alleged that the late Zimbabwean strongman Robert Mugabe funded South Africa's Julius Malema with some 1 Million worth of an unnamed currency..Zindoga was commenting after Malema launched an attack on President Emmerson Mnamgagwa for seeking to hijack the burial of Mugabe. Said Zindoga, "How much has the moribund G40 paid Malema for recent Mugabe funeral histrionics here & in SA?.

By the way, a sore point with ANC cadres I met in SA in the immediate aftermath of Malema breakaway is how he was funded by Mugabe some cool million or so.".Deputy Government Spokesperson Energy Mutodi said Malema was trying to attract Grace Mugabe who is now a rich widow.."Julius Malema was foul-mouthed when he visited Zimbabwe. It's unfortunate he tried to impress the former First Lady Grace by denigrating President Mnangagwa.Grace still looks young and is filthy rich and Malema decided to take a dig on the government in order to impress her." On Monday Malema said Grace was a strong widow who will not be pushed by arrivalists...With the passing of Robert Mugabe,

Zimbabwe is finally moving away from the shadow of his 37-year reign..His successor President Emmerson Mnangagwa has made reforms his priority since he took over in 2017 to take the country's economy and political structures into the 21st century..Much has been made of Mnangagwa's ties with his predecessor Mugabe - the two were compatriots in the liberation war against the racist Rhodesian regime of Ian Smith..Mugabe even saved Mnangagwa from execution, according to the book Two Weeks in November by Douglas Rogers. Mnangagwa later served under Mugabe in an independent Zimbabwe.finally becoming vice president in 2014. While his early contributions to his country and the continent are undeniable,


Mugabe lost his way in the mid-90s,.perhaps following the death of his first wife Sally, who is remembered fondly and was popularly known as "Amai" (mother) in Zimbabwe..Mugabe's marriage to his former secretary Grace - who is nicknamed "Gucci Grace" due to her exorbitant spending habits - set a shift in motion as well as the gradual decline of Zimbabwe,.with the implementation of Mugabe's controversial land reforms, which triggered the debilitating sanctions by the US and EU, unprecedented unemployment, corruption, and hyperinflation..The situation culminated when Grace, 41 years Mugabe's junior, began jockeying for power and positioned herself as his successor..She surrounded herself with a cabal, the so-called Generation 40, that began to aggressively push her as Mugabe's political heir, while denigrating the other leaders of the ruling Zanu-PF party who they deemed her potential rivals..


The aggressive tactics of intimidation by Grace and her Generation 40 unnerved many in Zimbabwe, especially war veterans and senior leaders in government and the army..After Grace publicly denounced Mnangagwa at several public rallies, Mugabe officially sacked his vice president, who was forced to flee into exile in Mozambique and later South Africa following death threats..At this point Zimbabwe's army decisively intervened against Grace's cabal.. Once impeachment proceedings began against the president, Mugabe finally resigned..Amid wild celebrations across the country, Mnangagwa returned from exile and took over as president..

He subsequently won the presidential election in July 2018 on a reform platform,.despite assassination attempts during the campaign, including a bomb that exploded at his rally in June last year..Mnangagwa inherited a struggling economy marked by hyperinflation, cash shortages, a budget deficit, endemic corruption, and a lack of monetary sovereignty..US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo tweeted: ".. Mugabe devastated a country with enormous potential…and catastrophically mismanaged  the economy,.turning the region's breadbasket into one where much of the population requires international food assistance.".Under Mnangagwa,

Zimbabwe is now achieving tangible results with a budget surplus of ZW$ 803,6 million between January and July 2019,.and a positive current account for the first time since the adoption of the multi-currency regime in 2009.  And his government's currency reform is supported by the International Monetary Fund (IMF).with whom Zimbabwe signed a two-year monitoring programme that could earn it debt forgiveness and future financing..A key milestone illustrating how far Zimbabwe has travelled under Mnangagwa, is his reform programme, which includes land ownership, marking a departure from his predecessor's anti-white stance..


Unlike Mugabe, who evicted white farmers and limited their land leases to five years, Mnangagwa publicly declared.that white commercial farmers are now free to apply for land, extending 99-year leases to all farmers - independent of their skin colour - and compensating white farmers..This shows that with Mugabe's death a shadow has been lifted from Zimbabwe, and Mnangagwa can now fully focus on restoring this country's prosperous future..

Chamisa's lawyer spoke out about Mnangagwa's fraud evidence during the election

OPPOSITION MDC leader Nelson Chamisa will launch a renewed bid to oust President Emmerson Mnangagwa by seeking to have the Constitutional Court (ConCourt) review its own judgment based on “new evidence.”.Chamisa’s lawyer Thabani Mpofu said after studying academic works on the elections published by self-exiled former minister Jonathan Moyo, they were now making efforts to have the judgment on the 2018 presidential elections set aside.The country’s top court ruled that Chamisa had failed to prove allegations of fraud during the presidential election, a vote which left the nation polarised and violence on the streets of the capital Harare.Mpofu said the basis of approaching the ConCourt was because they now believe that the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (Zec) presented to the courts false information and, therefore, their call for the judgment to be set aside.“The general rule is that once a final judgment or order has been given, the judge who gave it or any other judge of parallel juri...

Grace Mugabe to make a graceful exit from politics

The future of former First Lady, Grace Mugabe, who arguably created more enemies than friends during her husband's last days in office, now hangs in the balance. The demise of the former president.Robert Mugabe, the man from whom Grace drew power and protection, leaves his wife now exposed. Grace, who during the greater part of husband's presidency had been focused on charity work, before later venturing into politics..With the support of Mugabe, Grace was in December 2014 parachuted to the helm of ZANU-PF Women's League, automatically qualifying to sit in the ruling party's highest decision-making body, the Politburo..The ex-First Lady then used her position and marriage to Mugabe to vilify all those she perceived to be harbouring ambitions of succeeding Zimbabwe's long-time ruler..She became literally untouchable with ministers currying favours with her to avoid being sacked by the President. The former First Lady ganged up with the G40 faction of ZANU-PF....
