Chiwenga Supporters Accuse Mutsvangwa of Espionage Amid Party Factionalism
Vice President Constantino Chiwenga’s supporters have defended him against Zanu PF spokesperson Christopher Mutsvangwa’s criticism, claiming Mutsvangwa is a spy for foreign nations. They allege that his remarks reflect deeper factional conflicts within the ruling party. The General Chiwenga Voluntary Supporters Association (GCVSA) has accused Mutsvangwa of working to destabilize Zimbabwe, emphasizing their intention to protect genuine leadership within the party.
Supporters of Vice President Constantino Chiwenga have defended him following the emergence of a recording in which Zanu PF spokesperson Christopher Mutsvangwa criticized his suitability to succeed President Emmerson Mnangagwa. The allegations against Mutsvangwa suggest he is a spy for ‘hostile foreign nations,’ highlighting the deepening factional conflicts within the ruling party, despite public assertions to the contrary.
A group identifying itself as the General Chiwenga Voluntary Supporters Association (GCVSA) has accused Mutsvangwa of espionage and treachery, arguing that his actions undermine Zimbabwe from within. They assert that Mutsvangwa’s derogatory comments about Chiwenga are part of a larger agenda to place puppet leaders into power at the expense of genuine patriots.
The GCVSA claims to have obtained military intelligence linking Mutsvangwa with such espionage efforts. Their statement includes various accusations aimed at discrediting Mutsvangwa’s character and intentions: “Mutsvangwa is not merely a loudmouth but an active saboteur working to weaken Zimbabwe from within.”
The controversy was catalyzed by a recent audio recording where Mutsvangwa described Chiwenga as unfit for leadership, referencing personal circumstances to bolster his argument. This discourse aligns with current aspirations within certain factions of Zanu PF for Mnangagwa to extend his hold on power beyond 2028, particularly in relation to the 2030 succession agenda.
Mutsvangwa’s previous involvement in the coup that led to the ousting of former President Robert Mugabe appears to contradict his current criticisms. The GCVSA has firmly stated, “The people of Zimbabwe are not blind. They see through your deception, Chris Mutsvangwa,” emphasizing their resolve against perceived betrayals among their ranks.
In conclusion, the ongoing conflict within Zanu PF has been exacerbated by accusations against Christopher Mutsvangwa, framing him as a detrimental figure within the party. The General Chiwenga Voluntary Supporters Association has emerged to publicly defend Vice President Chiwenga while denouncing Mutsvangwa’s alleged espionage activities. These developments underscore the turbulent political landscape and the factional struggles ahead of the 2030 leadership transition.
