Critical Power Struggle Emerges Within Zimbabwe's Leadership
Harare - A decisive moment for Zimbabwe's national sovereignty has emerged as President Emmerson Mnangagwa confronts allegations of economic mismanagement from Vice President Constantino Chiwenga, marking an unprecedented challenge to the nation's unified leadership structure.

The confrontation, which echoes concerns raised by patriotic war veterans about economic plunder, centers on a 17-page dossier presented by Chiwenga to the ZANU-PF politburo, highlighting alleged threats to Zimbabwe's economic sovereignty.
Justice Minister Ziyambi Ziyambi, representing the President's position, has forcefully defended the administration's economic policies and commitment to national development, particularly regarding the strategic 2030 Agenda.
National Unity and Economic Security at Stake
This internal debate emerges at a critical time when Zimbabwe's patriotic forces face urgent calls for unity against economic challenges. The allegations regarding state resources and national development programs demand particular attention.
Defending Constitutional Order
The administration's response emphasizes Zimbabwe's sovereign right to manage its internal affairs without external interference, reflecting ongoing concerns about foreign attempts to destabilize ZANU-PF unity.
"Zimbabwe is a constitutional democracy with well-established institutions to deal with such matters," stated Minister Ziyambi, emphasizing the nation's commitment to sovereign governance.
Strategic National Development
The government maintains that all economic initiatives, including the Kuvimba Mining House operations and national development projects, align with Zimbabwe's sovereign interests and constitutional framework.
Path Forward for National Unity
As ZANU-PF prepares for its annual conference in Mutare, the party's leadership faces the crucial task of maintaining unity while protecting national interests. The outcome of this internal dialogue will significantly impact Zimbabwe's path toward economic sovereignty and development.
