Many theories are put forward as to what may have led to Cde Chris Mutsvangwa was suddenly sacked by President Mnangagwa.
I offer my opinion based on what led to Mugabe’s dismissal in 2016.
It is simply that Chris is ungovernable and is not subject to the authority of anyone let alone the Cabinet and the President. He is a man who knows many words and does not know when to hide himself.
On several occasions within the Cabinet in 2016, he confronted Mugabe to the embarrassing point where Mnangagwa became Himself, the Vice President will be the only one capable of silencing him with the strongest power Scolding and I quote him bellow ;
“ Chris, Chris I said shut up, shut up Chris, I’m your leader Chris I order you to shut up! ”
At this point, Chris will pack his cabinet file and leave in a hurry!
Mugabe believed in the superiority of ideas and would allow a thorough debate on any item. But our brother Chris, who knows everything, will treat everyone harshly, and then Mugabe will come and exercise his power as president to restore order and decency. The VA will refuse to recognize this authority.
The disputes were mainly over which company appeared to be transferring Chinese investments and which would do so Often his judgment is blinded. It was our cabinet team Strong personalities capable of standing and fighting, I wonder though And whether the current class of ministers can withstand his bullish behavior without seeking Mnangagwa’s protection, which may be the case here. Mnangagwa himself left him out The composition of his government in 2018 because he cared about this disharmony that he would bring to his new government. a team. Instead he appointed him as special advisor, but even this was not enough. It was a gamble The first start of returning him to the Council of Ministers.
Parallel exploitation
ZANUPF_Official Authority The party spokesman had his last press conference last week It was an intervention in other ministerial mandates and may actually have become the proverbial Waterloo. He went further to announce his ambition in his monologue, and his fate was sealed that day!
With his acerbic and highly opinionated style The delivery clearly misrepresents the group he was in charge of so that some of us could not find each other with our former party.
It’s no surprise across the board that he was sacked It was popularly received and secretly celebrated within the ranks of Zanu PF and the government. I hope on a personal level that he has time to think about many things before his next step. He is still the official spokesperson of the party ZANUPF_Official and may retain it but it is clear that many retain it Watching whether it continues to be used as a weapon against perceived and imagined enemies. He was writing on X
