Mnangagwa Has Betrayed Zimbabwe, Says Musengezi

ZANU PF member, Sybeth Musengezi, says Zimbabwe’s current leaders are acting worse than successive colonial era governments that ill-treated people who protested over social injustices.

Musengezi, who approached the courts seeking to nullify President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s rise to the ZANU PF’s helm, believes the President reneged on earlier promises made when he ascended to power in 2017.

Speaking during a press conference in Harare this week, Musengezi said Mnangagwa should stop persecuting opposition activists. He said:

When we voted for Mnangagwa in 2018, we expected him to be a father to everyone not only a father to ZANU PF.

We are not in support of the way he has been treating opposition activists, and I’m calling upon my fellow comrades to stop these kinds of actions.

Our founding values emanate from the social injustices that were being perpetrated against blacks by Ian Smith during the colonial era. Our leaders are acting like terrorists.

ZANU PF’s Central Committee endorsed Mnangagwa as Robert Mugabe’s successor after the latter was deposed by the military in November 2017.

Musengezi is a member of a group that has come together in support of jailed opposition legislator Job Sikhala.

Front For Economic Emancipation in Zimbabwe (FEEZ), Godfrey Tsenengamu, who was expelled from ZANU PF after accusing some party bigwigs of corruption, said:

I ask today to those who took part in Operation Restore Legacy, to say ‘is this what you intended to do after getting rid of president Mugabe, and those who were regarded as criminals around him?

It is very sad that the so-called new dispensation has gone rogue, disregarding totally the rule of law and disregarding the national constitution.
