Speaking during a SAPES Policy Dialogue under the theme “Third Pan African Lecture – Wither the Nationalist project in Zimbabwe”, Professor Jonathan Moyo said that Defence Minister Dr Sydney Sekeramayi was more senior than Vice President Emmerson Mnangagwa in Zanu-PF.
Said Moyo:
He is senior and this example is an interesting one because you know Dr Sekeramayi’s loyalty to the President, President Mugabe, and to the party, to the country is beyond question and so are his liberation credentials, beyond question.
So is his political experience, beyond question. So is his consensus style of leadership, quite engaging. So is his stature, unquestionable. So is his commitment to the nationalistic project and above all in my estimation, his humility.
He is not arrogant. He doesn’t say ‘ndezvedu izvi’ or ‘chinhu chedu ichi’. He is accommodating. He is a true nationalist. In the vein we have seen them from the tradition of President Mugabe, the late Vice President (Joshua) Nkomo or the late Vice President Simon Muzenda, the late Vice President Msika, the late Vice President John Nkomo. You don’t say ‘akabva nekupi uyo?’ You can tell kuti akabva nekupi through the engagement-grounded and I am giving this as an example remember.
I’m saying that’s not true and I am challenging the historians to dig up the evidence if they think I’m not telling the truth.
