Mnangagwa, Chamisa talks looming

Mnangagwa, Chamisa talks looming.The much needed direct between President Emmerson Mnangagwa and opposition leader Nelson Chamisa edged closer yesterday after Zanu-PF welcomed the MDC's decision to drop its demands for foreign mediation in the



Zimbabwe crisis.Chamisa is toning down on one of his key demands for dialogue with President Mnangagwa - to have an external mediator and is now open to either a local cleric or retired judge mediating such talks, the Daily News reports.This comes as relations between authorities and Chamisa are widely accepted to be at an all-time low  following the continuing clampdown by police on the MDC and its officials.But despite this tension, behind-the-scenes and indirect 'talks about the talks' appear to be gathering pace with Chamisa now saying that he will accept mediation by "neutral" locals.MDC spokesperson


Daniel Molokele said at the weekend that the party would be comfortable with an independent judge or clergyman mediating the mooted dialogue.Chamisa and the MDC have previously insisted that any talks with Mnangagwa be held on condition that they are brokered by a respectable external mediator.Former Nigerian president Olusegun Obasanjo was at one time touted as a potential candidate for this role after Chamisa held talks with him in the

West African nation - and after the retired statesman also held private talks with Mnangagwa in the capital recently.ZANU PF Secretary for Administration Dr Obert Mpofu has dismissed rumours that Minister of Defence Oppah Muchinguri is set to replace General Constantino Chiwenga as Vice President during the ZANU PF Peoples Conference.Reports that were making rounds on social media suggested that Muchinguri was set to take over the job of number 2 as


Chiwenga is known.Speaking to NewZimbabwe, Mpofu dismissed the reports as a myth as no such endorsements had been made by the party's provinces."How can you believe such a myth. We don't have such," Mpofu said. "Our nominations are done by all provinces and it is about the president nobody else.Earlier this year self-styled strategist William Gerald Mutumanje said Oppah was the first choice of Vice Presidency.Said Lumumba, "


There is a voice silent in all this but playing a very smart calculative game. ZANU PF will self-preserve, they will do the needful to stay in power, but like musical chairs, one must go to save one.Don't underrate Oppah's ability to navigate the game. She was 1st choice VP.".Early this year, Mnangagwa redeployed personnel in the Presidential Guard and

 Mechanised Brigade, where senior commanders and troops, who played critical roles in the coup, were shifted or removed.Senior commanders who have since been retired and posted to diplomatic missions include Major-General Anselem Sanyatwe, who was commander of the Presidential Guard; former Zimbabwe National Army (ZNA) chief-of-staff (administration) Douglas Nyikayaramba, chief-of-staff responsible for service personnel and logistics, Major-General Martin Chedondo, and Air Vice-Marshal Sheba Shumbayawonda.

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

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....
