Mnangagwa is his own worst enemy

The thing here is that Ngwena, as Mnangagwa is popularly known by his followers, is unpopular. He is his worst enemy.

He made a bed of thorns and now he should lie on it.

On two successive occasions, Mnangagwa was trounced by MDC-T’s Blessing Chebundo in the Kwekwe Central constituency. He was forced to abandon his constituency for Chirumhanzu-Zimbagwe — a constituency that was created specifically for him.

How many elections has he won, even in the Midlands, where he is regarded as the political godfather?

The grave mistake that we made in Zanu PF was to expel former Vice-President Joice Mujuru from the party and subsequently from government. She was a better candidate than everyone in Zanu PF to replace President Robert Mugabe. If she is to hold a Zimbabwe People First star rally today, Mujuru is going to attract multitudes. Mnangagwa or whoever is going to represent Zanu PF as a presidential candidate is not going to win elections, come 2018.

The Bhora Musango team, which includes war veterans, Gamatox, G40 and retired and serving service chiefs, is working flat out for a Mujuru victory.

They are running the show.

Come 2018, we shall have a female president.
