FLAMBOYANT businessman and Zanu PF activist Phillip Chiyangwa has released his second video tape where he was captured suggesting that First Lady Grace Mugabe should succeed her husband President Robert Mugabe.

The video, titled All people to support Grace, was shot inside a moving vehicle as Chiyangwa was on his way to Grace’s campaign rally in Rushinga, Mt Darwin, last Wednesday.
Chiyangwa, who addressed himself as PC, was in the company of Mutare businessman Esau Mupfumi and Zanu PF Harare provincial political commissar Shadreck Mashayamombe.
“We are going there to organise the party so that the country goes back to black rule. Not the type of leaders who if they say something, you feel that your business chances are gone,” Chiyangwa said.
“We say everyone should support Amai because she is inspiring. Look at her; she is a business woman who has managed to sustain an ice-cream business. When she speaks, you feel that your business will prosper, that is why I am saying everyone should support Grace.”
This is Chiyangwa’s second video inside two weeks after the first one was shot in Chimanimani where Grace addressed another Zanu star rally.

The Chimanimani video has, however, landed him in court after Gokwe-Nembudziya MP Justice Mayor Wadyajena sued him over remarks in the video suggesting he was “a lunatic and homosexual”.
Wadyajena is demanding $150 000 from Chiyangwa, a Manicaland youth provincial executive member Mubuso Chinguno and Ace Lumumba.
Chiyangwa was not reachable yesterday, but Mupfumi confirmed the video was shot while on their way to Rushinga.
“Yes, it was shot on our way to Rushinga. You know Chiyangwa, I was not even aware that he was recording,” Mupfumi said.
