President Emmerson Dambudzo Mnangagwa is feeling the factional heat within his party.
This could be noticed from his remarks during the ruling party’s Politburo and Central Committee meetings.
yesterday Mnangagwa warned his top lieutenants in the politburo to shun factionalism and concentrate on contributing to the growth of Zimbabwe’s economy.
Mnangagwa told the politburo of his party that it was time to put personal interests aside and begin to work for ZANU PF as a collective.
He rebuked the war veterans and pointed to the party’s rule book on how to settle internal disputes.
Meanwhile, Mnangagwa addressed his party’s Central Committee this afternoon.
