In a recent article published in The Herald, columnist @JAMWANDA2 referred to <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Saviour_Kasukuwere/">Saviour Kasukuwere</a>, a presidential aspirant, as &#8220;the latter-day pretender to the crown.&#8221;
He said Kasukuwere&#8217;s entry into the political race has caused a stir on social media, but not in the work-a-day world where politics and politicians are made and unmade.
Jamwanda said the debate on social media is not about his chances but rather about whose vote he is likely to split, which seals and immortalizes his political fate as the nearly man of Zimbabwe&#8217;s political contest.
Jamwanda added that supporters in both the ruling party and opposition are angry with Kasukuwere, ironically for the same fears his ordained role seems to trigger. Jamwanda said:
<blockquote>
He will eat into ED’s vote, a few impressionable ones in the ruling party opine; he will divide opposition vote thus undermining Chamisa, many in the opposition think and fear.
Between both camps is no Chinese wall! For both roles he needs no schizophrenia. Not even a gossamer veil!
</blockquote>
The columnist&#8217;s view is that Kasukuwere&#8217;s significance and value hardly surpass a farthing (a former British coin, which was worth a quarter of a penny) and that no serious politician should waste time on him, any more than he does on himself.
Jamwanda says Kasukuwere&#8217;s forlorn hope is to gain significance by causing the authorities to wave a charge sheet in his face, allowing him to claim &#8220;negative capability&#8221; and join the ranks of US&#8217;s Oliver North of the CIA Contra Scandal in bragging about himself.
Saviour Kasukuwere, who is currently in self-exile, is said to still command a significant following in ZANU PF where he used to be a political commissar. He fled the country in 2017 after the ouster of former President Robert Mugabe, and was allegedly one of the leaders of the vanquished <a class=" MarkdownLink_linkifiedLink__KxC9G">G40 faction</a>. 
Kasukuwere has indicated that he <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/2023/06/05/mduduzi-mathuthu-zimbabwe-faces-run-off-over-kasukuwere-presidential-candidacy/">will be making an official statement on his candidature soon</a>. He spoke to <a class=" MarkdownLink_linkifiedLink__KxC9G">South African journalist</a> Sophie Mokoena via his <a class=" MarkdownLink_linkifiedLink__KxC9G">Twitter handle</a>, confirming that he will be making a formal statement.

Kasukuwere Called "Latter-day Pretender To The Crown" By Jamwanda

Self-exiled former ZANU PF Political Commissar <a href="https://pindula.co.zw/Saviour_Kasukuwere">Saviour Kasukuwere</a> has filed an application seeking the cancellation of his warrant of arrest to allow him to contest in the 23 August presidential election.
The warrant of arrest was issued on 17 January 2019 by retired Harare magistrate Hosea Mujaya after Kasukuwere failed to appear for trial on four counts of criminal abuse of office.
<a href="https://www.newsday.co.zw/local-news/article/200012567/kasukuwere-wants-warrant-of-arrest-cancelled">NewsDay</a> reported that in early 2020, the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) sought the extradition of Kasukuwere from South Africa where he is based.
However, the International Criminal Police Organisation (Interpol), turned down the request claiming that the issue was political.
In his application, which was filed on 02 June 2023, Kasukuwere, through his lawyers, Mhishi and Nkomo Legal Practitioners, said the warrant was issued in error.
Kasukuwere&#8217;s lawyers said he appeared before Mujaya on 29 November 2018 to answer to four counts of criminal abuse of duty.
The former ZANU PF Politburo member then took exception to the charges saying they lacked essential elements of the offence of criminal abuse of duty.
The magistrate, however, dismissed the application and Kasukuwere approached the High Court for a review of Mujaya’s decision.
The High Court ruled in his favour.
After upholding Kasukuwere’s application for exception, the High Court then ordered that the warrant of arrest issued by the Magistrates Court be cancelled by Mujaya who issued it. Said Kasukuwere’s lawyers:
<blockquote>
It is accordingly submitted that the applicant (Kasukuwere) has managed to show on a balance of probabilities that the warrant of arrest should be cancelled. It serves no purpose for it to remain in force.
It was rendered void by the High Court in a judgment.
</blockquote>
Kasukuwere lost his ministerial position after the November 2017 military coup that ended the later former President Robert Mugabe&#8217;s 37 years in power.

Saviour Kasukuwere Seeks Cancellation Of His Warrant Of Arrest

ZANU PF is not losing sleep over reports that self-exiled former Political Commissar <a href="https://pindula.co.zw/Saviour_Kasukuwere">Saviour Kasukuwere</a> has joined the presidential race ahead of the 23 August harmonised elections, a party official has said.
ZANU PF director of information and publicity <a href="https://pindula.co.zw/Tafadzwa_Mugwadi">Tafadzwa Mugwad</a>i told <a href="https://www.newsday.co.zw/local-news/article/200012518/kasukuwere-joins-presidential-race">NewsDay</a> that the party was not concerned about a &#8220;fugitive of justice&#8221; in reference to Kasukuwere who faces arrest over a litany of charges. Said Mugwadi:
<blockquote>
ZANU PF does not lose sleep over nothing. There is no Zimbabwean constituency across the Limpopo to the extent that you are aware.
We are focused on winning the election for development and our indomitable presidential candidate H.E Cde ED Mnangagwa does not lose sleep over a barking fugitive of justice.
After all, it’s good to have ambitions, but it will be foolhardy and tomfoolery to aspire to empty an ocean using buckets.
We have already set preparations in motion for the inauguration of would-be President-elect, Cde ED Mnangagwa.
Let Tom, Dick and Harry throw their hat in the ring, but in the end, Floyd Mayweather has no defeat.
</blockquote>
However, a political analyst Rejoice Ngwenya, told NewsDay that if ZANU PF allows Kasukuwere to contest, their candidate, President Emmerson Mnangagwa will lose. Said Ngwenya:
<blockquote>
If that happens, then Mnangagwa is gone.
But I can tell you, Mnangagwa and his allies are busy doing what they can to stop Kasukuwere from contesting.
If he does, he will divide the Zanu PF vote.
But I don’t think he will even make it to the Nomination Court.
The chances are very slim. Mnangagwa won’t fold his hands and let it happen.
</blockquote>
Contacted for comment by NewsDay on Monday, 05 June, Kasukuwere said:
<blockquote>
I know people are interested to know (about the candidature), but I can assure you that you will be the first to get the official statement.
</blockquote>
Kasukuwere fled the country during the military coup in November 2017 and briefly returned home in January 2018 and was arrested on corruption charges.
The charges were later dismissed by the Harare Magistrates Court but after he left the country again.
In October 2020, the Government sought Kasukuwere’s extradition from South Africa after issuing a warrant for his arrest.

ZANU PF Not Losing Sleep Over Kasukuwere Presidential Ambitions - Mugwadi

<a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Mduduzi_Mathuthu/">Mduduzi Mathuthu</a> has suggested that if former Local Government Minister, <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Saviour_Kasukuwere/">Saviour Kasukuwere</a>, contests for the presidential post in August 2023, Zimbabwe may face a run-off as he is likely to divide votes in the ruling ZANU PF.
Kasukuwere, who is currently in self-exile, is a former political commissar in the ruling party and is said to still command a significant following in ZANU PF. He fled the country in 2017 after the ouster of former President <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Robert_Mugabe/">Robert Mugabe</a> and was allegedly one of the leaders of the vanquished generation40 faction (G40).
Kasukuwere has indicated that he will be making an official statement soon. He spoke to South African Journalist, Sophie Mokwana via his Twitter handle:
<blockquote>
Sophie good morning. The call has been made and yes I will be making a formal statement on my candidature. Thank you for asking.
</blockquote>
Responding to Kasukuwere&#8217;s announcement, Mduduzi Mathuthu, the founder of the news website ZimLive.com, stated that Zimbabwe may be heading towards a presidential run-off. He said:
<blockquote>
Saviour Kasukuwere running for president puts us in run-off territory
</blockquote>
It has been reported that Saviour Kasukuwere is interested in returning to and rejoining the ruling ZANU PF party. His return to ZANU PF, if accepted, could have significant implications for the party&#8217;s internal dynamics and the upcoming presidential election in 2023. Even if he runs as an independent candidate, he is likely to get a fraction of voters from the ruling party. 
<h3>What&#8217;s a Run-off Election?</h3>
A run-off election occurs when no candidate in an initial election receives a majority of the votes. In Zimbabwe, this can happen if no candidate wins more than 50% of the vote in the presidential election. Factors that can lead to a run-off election include opposition vote fragmentation and allegations of electoral fraud.
Zimbabwe held its most recent run-off election in 2008. The election was contested between then President Robert Mugabe of the ruling ZANU-PF party and opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai of the Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) party. The <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Zimbabwe_Electoral_Commission/">Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC)</a> announced that no candidate had secured the required 50 + 1 percent of the votes. However, Tsvangirai withdrew from the race shortly before the run-off, citing widespread violence and intimidation by Mugabe&#8217;s supporters. The run-off was widely criticized for being neither free nor fair. A power-sharing agreement was brokered between Mugabe and Tsvangirai, leading to the formation of a unity government (GNU) in 2009. 
Currently, the major contenders in the upcoming 2023 Zimbabwean presidential election are the incumbent President, Emmerson Mnangagwa, and the opposition leader, Nelson Chamisa, who leads the Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC). In the previous 2018 election, Mnangagwa narrowly defeated Chamisa in a highly disputed poll. Chamisa challenged the results in court, alleging that ZEC had colluded with the ruling party, ZANU PF, to rig the election in Mnangagwa&#8217;s favour. The official results released by the ZEC indicated that Mnangagwa won with 50.8% of the vote, while Chamisa received 44.3% of the vote. This resulted in Mnangagwa winning the election by a margin of 6.5 percentage points, which translated to a difference of 35,339 votes.

Mduduzi Mathuthu: Zimbabwe Faces Run-Off Over Kasukuwere Presidential Candidacy

Norton Member of Parliament (Independent) <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Temba_Mliswa">Temba Mliswa</a> has said the nation should not be alarmed by reports saying that MPs will be given US$40 000 saying it is part of the US$80 000 they were given for the purpose of purchasing cars. 
In a Twitter thread seen by Pindula News, Mliswa said MPs deserve the money. He said:
<blockquote>
Just want to provide context and an explanation about the US$40 000 to be given to legislators. I’m the Chairperson of the Welfare Committee Pressure Group. That figure isn’t a gift but it’s a loan.
Again, initially and as approved in the Budget, MPs had been given US$80 000 for cars. However, they acquired vehicles for US$50 000 leaving a US$30K change. It’s part of that figure.
It’s also unfortunate that people operate with a mindset that MPs shouldn’t be supported in accordance with their offices and obligations. Every role and job has conditions of service. These are part of that. Why should the role of being an MP be dangerous, risky&amp; yet thankless?
How can we be effective in positions of oversight over the Executive and other arms of Gvt when we are not capacitated? Look at what the Judiciary and the Executive gets. How do you oversee such arms of Gvt from a position of dire poverty?
We are on PSMAS media (medical) aid and it doesn’t work. Fees we pay for ourselves. Ministers got US$500 000, Deputy Ministers US$350 000. We get US$40 000 and suddenly everyone is an economist attacking us! We are the poor and dull cousins who gives more and gets less in return really.
Let’s continue with this line of thinking and what you get at the end of the day is corruption with MPs susceptible to bribes due to dire situations. Look at Wadyajena’s Agric Committee where the MPs have been rendered dumb and obliging to his shenanigans because of money.
</blockquote>
Meanwhile, self-exiled former Local Government Minister, <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Saviour_Kasukuwere">Saviour Kasukuwere</a> said MPs were setting a wrong precedent. He said:
Go to banks and get loans! Ndochii icho cho. [what’s that?] Which other nation has such a precedent? What about if Cllr’s follow suit? Shumba siyaizvo! Ko makadyiwa? [don’t do that. What if you lose elections.]
Also responding to Mliswa’s post, Nzekete AG @AMakuyana said a loan is given based on one’s income and credit rating. He added:
<blockquote>
Once you get money at the end of your tenure as MP without consideration of whether you can pay or not – then that is certainly a furlough or grant!
</blockquote>
Other commentators said MPs do not care about the welfare of the general public.

"It's Not A Gift" - Mliswa Speaks On US$40 000 To Be Given To Members Of Parliament

Self-exiled former cabinet minister, Professor <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Jonathan_Moyo">Jonathan Moyo</a> has reiterated that <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Saviour_Kasukuwere">Saviour Kasukuwere</a> sought forgiveness from ZANU PF leadership since 2017.
Moyo’s remarks come after Kasukuwere allegedly mocked the former Tsholotsho legislator for writing an apology letter to ZANU PF. Moyo said: 
<blockquote>
Tyson launched his 2023 presidential bid with an UNPROVOKED attack on me and @PatrickZhuwao for our apology to ZanuPF members. Yet: We are not 2023 presidential candidates Our letter does not beg for forgiveness. It is him who has begged ZanuPF BIGWIGS for forgiveness!
Tyson and his lot wished that his UNPROVOKED attack on me &amp; @PatrickZhuwao over our apology letter to ZanuPFmembers, would go unchallenged; but I responded with FACTS, that it is him who has sought forgiveness from ZanuPF bigwigs since 2017; this got me criminally threatened!
It is idiocy to say our letter seeks forgiveness “that bullets missed us on 15 Nov 2017”; when @PatrickZhuwao was not even in Zim. Fact is, we clearly apologised to ZANU-PF MEMBERS for using – and being associated with – the #ZanuPfMustGo; hashtag!
</blockquote>
Kasukuwere, a former ZANU PF political commissar, said that he will not apologise to the ruling party or President Emmerson Mnangagwa, and seek readmission into the party. 
Moyo and Kasukuwere are among several former senior government officials who skipped the country’s borders in 2017 following the ouster of the late founding leader of Zimbabwe, Robert Mugabe. They allegedly belonged to the G40 faction which was opposed to the Lacoste faction which was allegedly being led by then Vice President Emmerson Mnangagwa.

"Kasukuwere Has Sought Forgiveness From ZANU PF Bigwigs Since 2017" - Jonathan Moyo

Former ZANU PF Politburo member Jonathan Moyo has hit back at Saviour Kasukuwere after the latter said he will never beg ZANU PF or President Emmerson Mnangagwa for forgiveness, and seek readmission into the party.
Kasukuwere, who, like Moyo, fell out of favour with ZANU PF following the November 2017 military coup, recently said he will not go on his knees to beg for forgiveness from his erstwhile colleagues.
He made the remarks after Moyo and another self-exiled former cabinet minister, Patrick Zhuwao issued a public apology to ZANU PF members over their role in a campaign calling for the party to be removed from power.
Responding to Kasukuwere, Moyo claimed the former ZANU PF political commissar made endless calls begging ZANU PF to be readmitted into the ruling party. Wrote Moyo on Twitter:
<blockquote>
Yet days after the coup, Savior Kasukuwere coined the term “New Dispensation”; he later made endless forgiveness calls and begged a ZANU PF bigwig with “APOLOGY CATTLE”!
It’s cheap for Tyson to make hay out of the open ‘apology letter’ @PatrickZhuwao and I wrote. Our letter is public and is to ZANU PF members; unlike his private ‘APOLOGY CATTLE’ to ZANU PF bigwig.
@Hon_Kasukuwere, in 2017 wrote “Let’s embrace the new dispensation and build our nation. Unity is strength and peace are prerequisites for progress.
</blockquote>
In a leaked virtual address to his supporters, Kasukuwere said he is not a coward and is available to lead if his supporters invite him to do so.

Jonathan Moyo Mocks Saviour Kasukuwere

Former ZANU PF political commissar, Saviour Kasukuwere, said that he will not apologise to the ruling party or President Emmerson Mnangagwa, and seek readmission into the party.
In a leaked virtual address to his supporters, Kasukuwere, who is in self-imposed exile, said he is available to lead if members invite him to do so. He said:
<blockquote>
I am not one who must be expected to go on my knees to beg for forgiveness. I think there has to be maturity on all angles to say you cannot expect one who was also victimised, should I go and say I am sorry because you missed me? No.
We have been man enough to accept that some of these things must be handled in a much more mature way. There are no crybabies.
</blockquote>
Kasukuwere said he was not a coward and will not hesitate to lead if “the people” ask him to do so. He said:
<blockquote>
Do not be in too much haste for you might even meet more challenges in the future.
We still have time, we still have our eyes on how to resolve our question as Zimbabwe. There is the issue of the security of individuals.
There is an issue with how all the processes we are proposing should be handled.
I want to assure you comrades, I am not blind to your discussions. I am aware I have taken this extraordinary step for the first time to say, yes we are leaders, I am available as one of the comrades if people say come and lead I will not hesitate to do that. I am not a coward; I am not a fool, and I am not scared to do that.
I have given this address for the first time because no leader must impose himself on the people.
No leader must be one to say it’s me. Let the people decide. Let the clarion call come from the people.

Kasukuwere Says He Will Not Beg ZANU PF For Forgiveness

Self-exiled former ZANU PF Politburo member Saviour Kasukuwere said that the late former president, Robert Mugabe, wanted to hand over power to his then deputy, Emmerson Mnangagwa, but the latter was pressured by power-hungry allies to stage a coup in November 2017.
Speaking at a discussion on the fifth anniversary of Mugabe’s ouster held under the topic, Back to the Future: A Review of the Post-November 2017 Coup in Zimbabwe which was hosted by Sapes Trust last Thursday, Kasukuwere also accused ZANU PF of failing to follow its own constitution. He said:
<blockquote>
Those colleagues were looking at the watch and wanted to taste power. Their ages were advancing and some were turning 79, others 80. If we had discussed this at the party we would not have been where we are now.
The appointment of Mnangagwa as then Vice-President was an indication that Mugabe wanted him to come in.
This was a discussion he had with us to say: ‘Let Mnangagwa come in and we can move forward.’ But ZANU PF being ZANU PF there was a secretive way of doing things which created problems for us up to this day.
We should have stuck to the constitutional process to challenge the President. The big problem in Zanu PF now is that nobody can stand up and say ‘I want to be a ZANU PF president.’
You can say that in exile, not in Zimbabwe. We should have stuck to the constitutional process to challenge the President.
</blockquote>
Kasukuwere also claimed that Mugabe wanted to resign after the 2002 elections “but factors took place that meant he remained in office until 2008.” He said:
<blockquote>
After the 2002 elections and thereafter, Mugabe intended to step down, but factors took place that meant he remained in office until 2008 when we had that humiliation with the MDC and he stayed up until 2013 when he won.
We thought after winning the election in 2013 he would put in place processes for a much more stable succession programme.
In 2017, he told me as his political commissar that he was stepping down. We were in Mexico attending a conference and we talked for about seven hours.
Still, it was too late because of the dynamics of the politics at that time.
</blockquote>
Kasukuwere was believed to be among members of a ZANU PF faction known as G40 which supported Mugabe’s wife, Grace, to take over power while Mnangagwa reportedly had the support of the military. | <a href="https://www.newsday.co.zw/local-news/article/200003891/ed-attacked-over-coup">NewsDay</a>

Kasukuwere Claims Mugabe Wanted To Quit In 2002, ED Was His Preferred Successor

Self-exiled former ZANU PF Politburo member Saviour Kasukuwere is living in fear in Johannesburg, South Africa, as President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s government steps up pressure behind the scenes to get him back home, reported <a href="https://thenewshawks.com/kasukuwere-lives-in-fear-in-joburg-as-harare-steps-up-pressure/">The NewsHawks</a>.
Kasukuwere is seen in top official circles as a threat and as an enemy of the state, the report further claims.
A Serbian multi-disciplinary hit squad has reportedly been assembled and deployed to Johannesburg by “deep state actors” to target him for capture or elimination if need be.
According to The NewsHawks, there have also been secret talks between Zimbabwean and South African official teams about Kasukuwere of late.
The Zimbabwean government accuses him of plotting to destabilise the government, together with his allies in exile and back home. The NewsHawks quoted an official source as saying:
<blockquote>
It’s a big issue for the Zimbabwean government and ZANU PF officials. First, Kasukuwere is seen as a political force to reckon with from a social base point of view, given his political appeal largely in Mashonaland provinces.
Second, he also has some security background and is seen as part of sleeper G40 cells that may be activated for political action when the need arises.
Third, Kasukuwere has some financial means and political networks. He has met senior ANC officials and many political players in South Africa from Zimbabwe and there to discuss his situation and politics.
Fourth, besides South Africa, he has other regional networks. Fifth and most importantly, he is seen as Vice-President Constantino Chiwenga’s ally.
For these reasons and many others, he is viewed as a threat and an enemy of the state.
</blockquote>
The publication further reported official sources saying Kasukuwere and his associates are classified by state security agents as a danger to Mnangagwa’s government from political and security perspectives, and that should not be taken lightly.
Former G40 senior members who are also in self-exile include Walter Mzembi, Patrick Zhuwao, and Jonathan Moyo.
Kasukuwere and Moyo survived a night military raid at home in Harare with their families during the November 2017 military putsch, prompting the former to flee to Mozambique, Kenya and then South Africa.
He tried to return home in 2018 but fled when he allegedly realised that Mnangagwa’s “hatchet men” wanted to get him.
There were also reported attempts to link Kasukuwere with the 23 June 2018 White City grenade attack in Bulawayo that killed two security officers and left other ZANU PF officials injured.

Kasukuwere Lives In Fear In South Africa As Zim Govt Steps Up Pressure | Report

Self-exiled former ZANU PF Politburo member and Local Government Minister Saviour Kasukuwere on Monday accused President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s government of using the law as a weapon against critics saying the practice should stop.
Lawfare is the use of the law or courts to damage or delegitimise an opponent, or to deter individuals’ usage of their legal rights.
In a statement marking the country’s 42nd Heroes Day Commemorations on 8 August 2022, Kasukuwere said it was wrong for the government to hound citizens out of the country because of political differences. Said Kasukuwere:
<blockquote>
No Zimbabwean should be imprisoned without charge for lawfully and rightfully taking part in our politics, no Zimbabwean should be persecuted because of political differences and no Zimbabwean should be exiled because of personal or political differences.
Ours is no longer a war of canons and guns, it is a war to deliver economic independence. We are no longer pressed with racial inequality, but we see economic inequality all around us.
Let us seize the opportunity to be the heroes of future generations and present. Let us rise to our generational calling. Out of us, heroes must emerge.
</blockquote>
Kasukuwere also bemoaned the country’s seemingly unending economic challenges that have pushed millions of Zimbabweans out of the country in search of greener pastures. He said:
<blockquote>
As we celebrate and remember, let’s not forget the Zimbabwean child toiling because of a lack of employment, lack of empowerment and lack of services.
Let us not forget the millions of Zimbabweans who have been forced to live as second-class citizens in other countries, sometimes subjected to degrading and inhumane conditions and discrimination in these foreign domiciles.

Kasukuwere Tells Mnangagwa To Stop "Lawfare"

A group of former ZANU PF members calling itself ZANU PF Original has implored self-exiled former party political commissar, Saviour Kasukuwere to return to Zimbabwe and lead the party’s campaign for the 2023 elections.
Addressing reporters in Harare on Saturday, ZANU PF Original member Jim Kunaka claimed President Emmerson Mnangagwa was leading a ZANU PF faction called Lacoste which was no longer serving the interests of the party. He said:
<blockquote>
As much as Kasukuwere is from Mashonaland Central Province, we want to make it clear that he is not provincial leadership material, but a national leader.
That is why we have people coming from all the provinces to say to comrade Kasukuwere that Zimbabwe is waiting for you.
We are fully behind you. Come back and lead the people. You are not alone and you shall never walk alone.
We want to reclaim our revolution and party which was hijacked by the Lacoste power mongers.
</blockquote>
Kunaka was fired from ZANU PF in 2014 while Kasukuwere went into self-imposed exile following the 2017 military coup.
Political commentator Vivid Gwede said the emergence of ZANU PF Original could be a manifestation of unresolved leadership questions within the ruling party. Said Gwede:
<blockquote>
This is a sign of the unresolved leadership questions within ZANU PF since the coup. The formation of this group must not be disassociated from related developments such as the court challenge against the party’s leadership all pointing to internal disgruntlement and factionalism.
</blockquote>
Outgoing ZANU PF national youth secretary Tendai Chirau dismissed ZANU PF Original as puppets of the vanquished G40 cabal. He tweeted:
<blockquote>
Delusions of grandeur by expelled members sponsored by some members of the fallen G40 cabal.
There is only one Zanu PF led by @edmnangagwa and it will win the 2023 elections resoundingly.
The willing tools of the fallen cabal may continue hallucinating, but they will not win

ZANU PF Original Urges Kasukuwere To Return

Saviour Kasukuwere’s former citrus farm in Mazowe is now desolate after it was allocated to Mazowe district war veterans’ chairman Ephanos Mudzimunyi.
Mudzimunyi took over Concorpia farm in 2020 after he was given an offer letter by the late Lands, Agriculture, Fisheries, Water, Climate and Rural Development Minister Perrance Shiri.
According to NewZimbabwe.com, the orange trees are wilting from thirst and are now barely visible, outgrown by tufted grass.
Mudzimunyi has reportedly failed to pay utilities, resulting in the Zimbabwe National Water Authority  (ZINWA) disconnecting water supplies to the farm.
The Zimbabwe Electricity Supply Authority (ZESA), has also switched off power to the farm over the war veteran’s failure to pay bills.
Mudzimunyi told a NewZimbabwe.com crew that visited his farm that protracted court battles have impacted farming operations. He said:
<blockquote>
All this dilapidation is a result of the court battles, but we are thankful that the president intervened and soon we will be back on our feet.
</blockquote>
When Shiri allocated the Concorpia farm to Mudzimunyi in 2020, Kasukuwere approached the High Court for redress.
Despite the court ruling that Mudzimunyi had no legal right to the property, he remained on the farm in clear defiance of the order.
At that time Mudzimunyi grabbed the farm, the fruit had fully ripened and was ready for the market.
At its peak, the farm employed dozens of workers and exported oranges to various foreign markets.
Speaking to the publication from his South African base, Kasukuwere claimed he was a victim of political persecution. He said:
<blockquote>
There is a refusal by the Sheriff to respect the court decision. The man should have been evicted ages ago and there is no movement. Perhaps that’s how political persecution works.
Trees which we have planted and tended to are drying. The loss to the country due to the export receipts is huge.
We have been exporting to the Middle East and all that is now in tatters. At times you don’t understand how this government works. Individual differences should not be a government issue.
</blockquote>
Kasukuwere said that at the time of the farm’s occupation by Mudzimunyi, they were negotiating a US$5 million investment deal with a Dubai-based company.

Chamisa made the remarks while speaking to dozens of CCC supporters who attended the party’s rally held at Mkoba, Gweru to mobilise for votes ahead for the 26 March by-elections and 2023 harmonised elections.
Chamisa said when he is in power, he will make sure that Zimbabweans in the diaspora come back “and enjoy in the new Zimbabwe.” He added:
<blockquote>
I don’t agree with Kasukuwere on many issues, but he should not be scared to come back home. Jonathan Moyo is now in Kenya. They should not be scared for their lives.

Kasukuwere, Jonathan Moyo, Zimbabweans Abroad Must Be Free To Come Home - Chamisa

Exiled former Information, Publicity and Broadcasting Services minister, Professor Jonathan Moyo, has written an open letter to President Emmerson Mnangagwa of plotting to “go after” members of the vanquished G40 who are in exile.
Moyo and several other former cabinet ministers including Patrick Zhuwao, Saviour Kasukuwere and Walter Mzembi skipped the country’s borders in 2017 following the ouster of the late former President Robert Mugabe.
They had been hostile to Lacoste, a ZANU PF faction led by then-Vice President Emmerson Mnangagwa and fled the country in fear of retribution. 
In his open letter, Moyo claims that Mnangagwa has put together a team comprised of individuals from the Central Intelligence Organisation (CIO)’s counter-Intelligence and the Ministry of Defence. Pindula News presents Moyo’s open letter:
<blockquote>
Dear Emmerson
I have impeccable information that you’ve put together a joint hit squad with elements from CIO Counter-Intelligence and MID to go after me and other exiled Cdes; you have targeted since your Nov 2017 Army coup. All I can say is that God is for everyone!
NB: The above open letter has been placed here for no other purpose than to put @edmnangagwa on public notice that his plot is known. Full stop!
</blockquote>
This comes amid reports that G40 is plotting to make a comeback and dislodge the Mnangagwa-led administration.

Mnangagwa Ensembles Team To Go After G40 Officials In Exile - Moyo

The High Court has given exiled former cabinet minister, Saviour Kasukuwere the green light to evict war veterans who are encamped at his Corncorpia Farm in Mazowe.
Kasukuwere had approached the High Court to force Efanos Mudzimunyi, Kudakwashe Moyana, Kenneth Mudzimunyi and Akim Mudzimunyi to vacate his farm, which they invaded earlier this year.
The war veterans had appealed to the Supreme Court against a High Court order which ordered them to vacate the farm that was given to the former Local Government Minister during the land reform programme.
Ruling on the matter, Justice Edith Mushore said the order would “operate and be executed pending the outcome of war veterans&#8217; Supreme Court appeal.
Mudzimunyi and colleagues were allegedly given the farm by the Minister of Lands, Perrance Shiri after the offer letter to Kasukuwere was this year withdrawn under unclear circumstances.
Reports suggest that there have been clashes between Kasukuwere&#8217;s workers and the war veterans which resulted in vandalism of property.
The war veterans have been harvesting Kasukuwere&#8217;s oranges and are reportedly not taking good care of the trees which could affect production in coming years.

WATCH: "The Journey Isn't Complete Yet,"  - Saviour Kasukuwere's Independence Speech

Workers at <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Saviour_Kasukuwere" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Saviour Kasukuwere&#8217;s</a> Concorpia Farm in <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Mazowe" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Mazowe</a> are concerned about their future following the government decision to withdraw its land offer letter to the exiled former cabinet minister.
Some of the workers are originally from Mozambique and face a bleak future if they are kicked out of the farm.
Kasukuwere told The Standard on Saturday that he will present a strong case to Lands minister Perrance on the developments he has made on the farm. He said:
<blockquote>We will put our case to the minister in terms of what we are doing. We are doing cultivation on 120 hectares of land which we opened ourselves. It initially just had citrus only, but we invested on centre pivots, opened the land for irrigation and brought in the water.
We did a lot and borrowed from financial companies. There were only two houses for workers and we have now built more to cater for more than 100 workers. The farm was just a small part of the estate and no one was using it.</blockquote>
Shiri last week wrote to Kasukuwere notifying him of the ministry&#8217;s intention to withdraw the land offer letter ostensibly for planning purposes.

Kasukuwere's Farm Workers Face Bleak Future

The ruling ZANU PF party has poured scorn on the launch of <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Saviour_Kasukuwere" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Saviour Kasukuwere&#8217;s</a> political movement, &#8220;Tyson Wabantu&#8221; in Bulawayo on Thursday.
ZANU PF national spokesperson <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Simon_Khaya_Moyo" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Simon Khaya Moyo</a> dismissed Kasukuwere as a dreamer and nonentity. Said Moyo:
<blockquote>The launch of the movement is insignificant and meaningless to us. He is representing nothing. That movement has no bearing on Zanu PF. We are a mass party which has a vast support base. We don’t lose sleep on that nonentity. He is just but a dreamer.</blockquote>
Kasukuwere is a former ZANU PF bigwig who now lives in self-imposed exile in South Africa.
His movement, consisting of disgruntled former ZANU PF supporters, distributed flyers and T-shirts branded <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Saviour_Kasukuwere" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">“Tyson Wabantu”</a> in Bulawayo&#8217;s suburbs.

Kasukuwere Is A Nonentity & Dreamer - ZANU PF Spokesperson

Norton legislator, Temba Mliswa has urged exiled former ZANU PF Political Commissar, Saviour Kasukuwere to come back to Zimbabwe if he was serious about starting a political party.
His remarks come after a new party, <a href="https://news.pindula.co.zw/2019/12/05/zanu-pf-original-notifies-zec-of-its-existence/">ZANU PF Original</a> recently notified the <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Zimbabwe_Electoral_Commission" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC)</a> of its existence through a letter authored by and signed by one Timothy Chimusoro, who is the National Coordinator of the party.
The party is believed to be headed by Kasukuwere who has recently declared his interest to run for president in the 2023 elections saying that he had his popularity in the country and region as a competitive advantage.

"You’re A PC, Huuyai Paground," Mliswa Urges Kasukuwere To Come To Zimbabwe

Former Tourism Minister <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Walter_Mzembi" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Walter Mzembi</a> has dismissed reports that he will deputise former Local Government minister <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Saviour_Kasukuwere" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Saviour Kasukuwere</a> in a new political party to contest the 2023 elections.
Posting on the microblogging site, Twitter, Mzembi, who is said to be in South Africa, wrote:
<blockquote>I applaud every effort to democratise our country and wish @Hon_Kasukuwere well in his efforts, for the record I am not his Deputy in the #tysonwabantu nor in any structure.
I will pronounce myself in due course on Zimpolitics and my vision going forward.</blockquote>
Kasukuwere has begun a movement which is highly visible on social media &#8211; #Tyson WaBantu &#8211; as a launch-pad for his 2023 presidential bid.

Mzembi: I'm Not Saviour Kasukuwere's Deputy

Taking it to twitter Zim Media reminded Zimbabweans about Tyson&#8217;s heydays. The tweet was captioned
<blockquote>An article those that have forgotten about Kasukuwere: 2008 wounds fester as another tense election beckons for Zim. </blockquote>
The tweet made reference to an article that appeared in the Standard on 10 April 2017 when Hilton Chironga relived the days of the youths led by <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Saviour_Kasukuwere">Saviour Kasukuwere</a>&#8216;s reign of terror. The article reads in part:
<blockquote>On that fateful day, Chironga of Chiweshe in Mashonaland Central — a hotbed of political violence — describes how his brother, who had won local government elections and was set to become a councillor, woke him up amid a blaze of gunfire.
“We had won as the MDC in that March presidential election,” he recounted last week. “It was a peaceful election and we saw no reason to be afraid. “There was a run off thereafter after our candidate, president Morgan Tsvangirai was said to have won but without enough votes for an outright win.On discovering that we had grown [popular], political violence was the only way. Zanu PF was determined to scare us into submission, and they did.”
Chironga, who consistently wiped his watery eyes which he blamed on paraquat poisoning, spoke with a tinge of emotional pain that explained the scars criss-crossing his body, including a shattered femur [thigh bone] from a gunshot and a surgically inserted metal plate in one of his arms.
Paraquat is a toxic chemical that is widely used as a herbicide, primarily for weed and grass control.
“Amid gunshots and singing, we rushed to take our own weapons to defend ourselves,” said Chironga as he recalled the events of that tragic night. &#8221; But what became apparent was that the militia had the support of uniformed forces and we had to surrender in the hope that they would spare our lives.The face of the man who shot my brother is vivid in my mind and I see him in the news and I know he is comfortable at his farm. There was no soul in those eyes. They killed him like his life was worthless and my mother wailed for the son she lost.”</blockquote>
Saviour Kasukuwere was expelled from Zanu Pf after the November coup.

Zim Media Review Reminds Zimbabwe About the 2008 Kasukuwere And His Days In Govt

Zanu-PF will not lose sleep or be intimidated by Saviour Kasukuwere&#8217;s warning that they are ready to take the party head on.
This was said by Victor Matemadanda during an interface meeting with war veterans, war collaborators and detainees in Bindura last week, Zimbabwe National Liberation War Veterans’ Association (ZNLWVA). Said Matemadanda:
<blockquote>Kasukuwere is saying it will be rough. To who? As a party, we will not lose sleep or be disturbed from making babies by a goat which is rubbing its body against the bedroom walls. Kasukuwere is a hopeless man and there is nothing he can do to the party. Professor Jonathan Moyo thinks he is a great schemer. Let us see him scheme, while out there in the cold, outside the country. Once you are beaten and driven out of the village and you tell yourself that you are going to scheme, what are you going to scheme, don’t fool yourself. They are now saying we have the likes of Mutumwa Mawere. Since you are a professor, why can’t you just write educational curriculums for schools and tertiary institutions where you belong because politics is our game, where we belong. You cannot tell us about penetration ability that is our job.</blockquote>

Zanu-PF Will Not Lose Sleep Over Kasukuwere's Threats- Matemadanda

A Daily News report claims that there is a sense of unease within the ruling party ZANU PF after former party commissar Saviour Kasukuwere reacted angrily to a ruling by a Harare magistrate last week.
Magistrate Hosiah Mujaya granted an application by prosecutors to seize Kasukuwere&#8217;s RTGS$250 000 holiday home in Nyanga, which he had put down as surety for his bail — in the corruption charges that he is facing.
In an interview with the Daily News, an unnamed ZANU PF senior official said:
<blockquote>I’m very concerned that following last July’s post-election violence and the equally violent riots earlier this year, that we could be entering a new phase of political and social unrest — which would be tragic, as the country is just beginning to stabilise.
My fear is that some elements could very well use Tyson’s (Kasukuwere’s) announcement of his return to politics to plant anarchy, realising that he still enjoys support in some party (Zanu PF) constituencies, particularly in Mashonaland.
As it is, and as false as the claims are, I’m greatly disturbed by talk doing the rounds that his prosecution is not just politically-motivated, but also supposedly an attack against Zezurus by Karangas.
This spells danger to both the party (Zanu PF) and the country if we are not careful.</blockquote>
Writing on Twitter last Friday in reaction to the sequestration of his villa, Kasukuwere, who is holed up in South Africa said:
<blockquote>We will certainly go to the High Court. This is a very good invitation back into politics. Handei tione! (Bring it on!).
I said it will be rough, but it’s gonna be rougher but thereafter we will have a ZW we all want. This monopoly and idiocy shall be challenged. With or without, 2023 is coming. Tatamba zvakwana! (The time for games is over!)
Whilst silence is golden, there comes a time when your enemies think you are enjoying it. Abuse of authority and power has limits. God Bless ZW. #itsmycountrytoo!</blockquote>

Kasukuwere's Outbursts Worries ZANU PF - Report

The State yesterday confiscated former Cabinet Minister Saviour Kasukuwere’s mansion in Nyanga after he failed to appear at the Harare Magistrates’ Courts.
Kasukuwere who is facing four charges of criminal abuse of office, had surrended the house as surety. The three charges against Kasukuwere rose when as Minister of Local Government, Public Works and National Housing, allegedly fraudulently parcelled out vast tracks of State land to former First Lady Grace Mugabe’s sister, Shuvai Gumbochuma. The other count was allegedly committed while he was the Minister of Youth Development, Indigenisation and Economic Empowerment, when he corruptly awarded a tender to a company called Brainworks Capital.
Kasukuwere was issued with an arrest warrant in January by regional magistrate, Hoseah Mujaya, after he failed to appear in court for trial. He had traveled to South Africa for medical attention. Kasukuwere was supposed to return his passport on January 17. His failure to do so prompted the State to apply for an arrest warrant. The State successfully applied to have Kasukuwere’s Nyanga mansion forfeited to the State. He made an undertaking that in the event the order sought was granted, the State would give Kasukuwere 90 days to appear in court before disposing the property.

Saviour Kasukuwere Loses Nyanga Mansion

Sources told Daily News that former Zanu PF national political commissar Saviour Kasukuwere is said to have been placed on the “persons of interest” list by the Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP).
When contacted for comment, police spokesperson Charity Charamba told Daily News that she was not aware that Kasukuwere had been placed on the “persons of interest” list. However, ZRP sources said Kasukuwere has been under their radar since June 23, when there was an explosion at White City Stadium in Bulawayo which resulted in the death of two people, and injuring more than 40 others.
A few days after police raided Kasukuwere’s mansion but maintained a veil of secrecy over their investigations. Kasukuwere who returned home in May this year after six months in exile, left the country for South Africa immediately according to sources who spoke to Daily News.

Kasukuwere On ZRP “Persons Of Interest” List, Flees To South Africa

Speaking during an outreach meeting with Government departments organised by the Bulawayo Provincial Affairs Minister, Angelina Masuku at Nketa 8 Hall on Sunday, Zanu-PF Central Committee member Elifasi Mashaba called for the arrest of former Cabinet Minister, Saviour Kasukuwere.
Mashaba accuses Kasukuwere of duping Bulawayo residents over stands at Umvutshwa on the outskirts of Bulawayo. In 2016 Kasukuwere, set aside 3 300 hectares of land in Umvutshwa to allocate to the youths. Bulawayo youths were told to pay $50 monthly instalments to the Urban Development Corporation (Udcorp) so that they could be allocated the stands. It later emerged that the land Kasukuwere had set aside for youths was actually private land. Said Mashaba:
<blockquote>There is another burning issue that I thought residents would bring up during this discussion. There are criminals who came here and promised to offer housing stands to Bulawayo residents. Scores of residents were made to pay $50 to Udcorp so that they could be allocated stands in Umvutshwa. One of the criminals who had escaped but has since returned still a criminal is Kasukuwere. We want Kasukuwere to be arrested over Umvutshwa stands. We have people who lost money to Udcorp. Some lost between $50 and $500 even here in Nketa and Emganwini suburbs.</blockquote>

Zanu-PF Central Committee Member Calls For Kasukuwere's Arrest

Presenting his programme, The Lumumba Files on ZiFM Stereo on Thursday evening, Acie Lumumba revealed why former Zanu-PF national political commissar Saviour Kasukuwere returned to Zimbabwe from self imposed exile.
Lumumba said Kasukuwere returned to Zimbabwe to prove two points. He said Kasukuwere wants to remove the label that he is a criminal and secondly to test President Emmerson Mnangagwa&#8217;s mantra that lets let bygones be bygones. Said Lumumba:
<blockquote>This is a man who has two points to prove. Point number one; Saviour Kasukuwere is desperate to remove the stigma attached to him being called a criminal. If anybody has ever been character assassinated or labelled in politics you would know that there is a problem. People in politics do not take each other to court usually because of crimes they use the newspapers. Saviour Kasukuwere wanted to save himself from that so he wanted to say of I have a crime, &#8216;call me out&#8217;. But Saviour Kasukuwere also understood this, Zanu-PF also has a point to prove too. President Emnerson Mnangagwa has a point to prove that when he said lets let bygones be bygones he really meant lets let bygones be bygones and he [Kasukuwere] is a guy who is not afraid to test it out because what does he have to lose&#8230;He comes back into Zimbabwe because he is testing the teeth of the crocodile, that is the crocodile serious that if we come back into the country lets let bygones be bygones.</blockquote>
He also confirms Jonathan Moyo and Patrick Zhuwao&#8217;s allegations that Kasukuwere is working with Mnangagwa&#8217;s administration to weaken NPF. Said Lumumba:
<blockquote>The deal is you remove Saviour Kasukuwere from National Patriotic Front (NPF), NPF is dismantled completely. Jonathan Moyo is brains with no muscle, Patrick Zhuwao is a follower who&#8217;s got no brains and no muscle. So without Saviour Kasukuwere they have no muscle.</blockquote>
Lumumba said Kasukuwere will be back in politics despite saying that he is taking a sabbatical.

Lumumba Reveals Why Kasukuwere Returned, Confirms Zhuwao And Moyo's Allegations

Former Zanu-PF national political commissar Saviour Kasukuwere has revealed why he did not respond to allegations by Jonathan Moyo and Patrick Zhuwao that he was working with President Emmerson Mnangagwa&#8217;s administration to derail the National Patriotic Front (NPF).
He said not everything is worth responding to and added that he returned home because of personal reasons. Kasukuwere:
<blockquote>You do not respond whenever they say something. You have to learn in life as an individual that there are times you have to make decisions that are in the interests of the individual. I have interests in farming and I have interests in the country.</blockquote>
Kasukuwere denied allegations that he wanted to oust NPF leader Ambrose Mutinhiri saying &#8220;I am not coming to push anybody out of any position.&#8221;
