Angry President Mnangagwa lashed out at ZEC Chairperson Priscilla Chigumba

PRESIDENT Emmerson Mnangagwa allegedly blew his top and lashed at Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (Zec) chairperson Priscillah Chigumba after she allegedly went to his office with a proposal for electoral reforms, a former Cabinet minister has claimed.Exiled former Zanu PF strategist,


Jonathan Moyo, revealed this in his book, Excelgate, which he claims exposes how the 2018 presidential elections were reportedly rigged in favour of Mnangagwa. Government has, however, rubbished Moyo’s claims in the book.ln his book, to be launched on December 13 in Harare.and has already been sold to more than 200 people in advance, Moyo said Chigumba irked Mnangagwa when she presented to him early this year some proposed reforms that included a clause that the Zec chairperson should be appointed through a parliamentary process.


“Chigumba then sought Mnangagwa’s approval of Zec’s proposed electoral reforms. She was granted audience. To Chigumba’s utter shock, Mnangagwa hit the roof and blew his top, asking her a series of politically blinding questions: What is your motive? Who has sent you with this? You are a sellout,” Moyo claimed in his book.He wrote that Mnangagwa told Chigumba there would be no electoral reforms and that “she should just go away”.He said Chigumba confided to her friends her experience at the hands of Mnangagwa and that she has been contemplating leaving Zec and the country out of fear.


But Justice minister Ziyambi Ziyambi yesterday said Mnangagwa was agreeable to electoral reforms.“Is he (Moyo) now a prophet? Maybe he is now a prophet who knows what happens inside buildings and translates that into books?” Ziyambi asked.“The Zec chairperson does not go directly to the President with electoral reforms because the President does not go to Parliament to motivate Bills, so I don’t even understand Jonathan Moyo.“There is evidence to show that the President is agreeable to electoral reforms by setting up an inter-ministerial taskforce to look into that and agreeing to looking into recommendations from observer missions in order to look into opening democratic space.


”Ziyambi said it was absurd to assume that Mnangagwa would oppose something he was pushing for, adding that under the late former President Robert Mugabe, European observer missions were not allowed in unlike now under the new dispensation.“Does he have telescopic eyes from where he is hiding to make such claims?” he asked.Moyo also revealed the role of the Joint Operations Command (JOC) in the political dynamics in the country and its role in deciding who takes State power by whatever means.“JOC, not Cabinet, not politburo, is the pivotal authority in Zimbabwe,” Moyo’s book reads.


“JOC is the centre of power in Zimbabwe.It is the system. JOC’s pivotal role is particularly pronounced during elections. This is because of the obvious reason that elections are strategically important for deciding who gets into power, when and how.“Most Zimbabweans believe that elections in the country are rigged, but they don’t know how the rigging is done, yet they think there is one rigging formula that the ruling authorities apply to every election.“

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...

The former First Lady ganged up with the G40 faction of ZANU-PF....
