Former Zanu PF Youth League boss, Godfrey Tsenengamu, is now the leader of the Front for Economic Emancipation in Zimbabwe.
Former Zanu PF Youth League boss, Godfrey Tsenengamu, is now the leader of the Front for Economic Emancipation in Zimbabwe.

Zanu PF’s so-called affiliates have attacked Godfrey Tsenengamu, a former Zanu PF member, who recently warned President Emmerson Mnangagwa that he will leave the presidential post in disgrace if continues intimidating and harassing some party members and other Zimbabweans.

Tsenengamu, leader of the Front for Economic Emancipation in Zimbabwe, said Mnangagwa won’t win the 2023 presidential election. He said, “…This habit of behaving like a cow that gives others a torrid time in a kraal … Your end will be miserable. It will be disgraceful if you don’t change the way you are doing things. 2023 you wont win if you are the candidate. Even if you will be contesting against me, you won’t win. Those near Mnangagwa tell them that that fool Shumba said stop your bad ways. You are going no way. If we reach 2023 and if you are a candidate, you won’t win. The only thing you can do it so make amends with some people …”

Tsenengamu’s remarks were echoed by Jim Kunaka, a former Zanu PF militant Youth League member, who said, Mnangagwa has to pave the way for Vice President Constantino Chiwenga “as was promised when he became president.”

Reacting to these remarks, youth affiliates of the ruling party, including Zimbabwe Youth Action Platform president Tonderai Chidawa, Cde Zimbio of the Zimbabwe National Youth Service, Pastor Zakaria Ncube (Zimbabwe Preachers Association), Jones Musara and Wellington Mtisi of Varakashi4ED, warned them that they are playing with fire.

In a series of tweets posted on the ZANUPF Official Twitter handle, Chidawa said, “Those going about creating their own candidates in the name of ZANU PF are wasting their time. The sooner they realize this the better. 2030 Tinenge Tichipo. Fellow Zimbabweans it is very unfortunate and sad to hear an expelled renegade in one Godfrey Tsenengamu, an embattled former member of our Party’s Youth League issuing unbridled threats on our leadership and the President in particular, based on his imaginary allegations …

“In his hollow, rumblings to the media, typical of an attention seeking urchin, Tsenengamu purportedly invites a fallen member of the cabal in Saviour Kasukuwere whom he confuses with Christ the Savior. We wish to make it clear to the media, that ZANU PF as the colossal revolutionary Party cleansed itself from unprincipled renegades and factional thugs who find political relevance through creating and fronting divisions.”

Chidawa said there is no friction between Mnangagwa, Chiwenga and other top leaders to the lowest level.

“We advise Zimbabweans to ignore the nonsense from this renegade, who was expelled from the Party. Akadzingwa nezita nemutupo for seeking to front divisions in the Party under the false cover of fighting corruption when in actual fact, he was abusing his position to black mail business people in return for money during his time as PC of the Youth League. In his stupidity, Tsenengamu is trying to be the kingmaker of ZANU PF politics outside the ruling party. For starters, Tsenengamu is Morris Nyathi of our time. He is trying to export his renegade Morrison Nyathi politics into our Party using dirty money.

“Tsenengamu is being used by an embattled Kasukuwere who thinks Zimbabweans from whom he stole through corrupt shenanigans are his people. Nothing can be further from the truth. On their own, with everything in their hands, Kasukuwere and crew failed to bury the man called President ED Mnangagwa. Having failed in that regard they have now sort (sic) the services of a well-known political prostitute Tsenengamu. One wonders who the bigger fool is between Tsenengamu and his handlers. Tsenengamu easily reminds us of a stupid bird which spends the whole day on the back of a cow and goes to sleep thinking it’s a cow too.”

He claimed that Tsenengamu may have in the past been in the same room with senior leaders of ZANU PF but he certainly has never been a senior leader in ZANU PF.

“Tsenengamu should use the empowerment benefits he got from ZANU PF to fend for himself and his wives than to engage in futile rent seeking activities. The pair of Kasukuwere need to be reminded that those who told him they would one day rule Zimbabwe lied to them. Let this be known for the record and going forward. We have defended President ED Mnangagwa and the entirety of the collective of his leadership from the first day and we are always ready to do so.

“We can't allow a mere Tsenengamu to plot the destruction of our country through nefarious overtures to topple our leadership. Stop patting yourself on the back and building castles in the air. Muka ubike doro mufanha. Our Party wings have endorsed President ED Mnangagwa as our sole candidate for the Presidency ahead of 2023 Harmonized Elections.”

But a person, whose Twitter hand is Blingbling007 had a few works for Chandawa and his colleagues.

He said, “General Chiwenga for President. ED has failed in his 5 years. General Chiwenga is the only way forward if the party wants to have a chance to win next year's elections.”
