CHIYANGWA : NO GODLY APPOINTMENTS IN ZANU PF

“There is no godly anointment in Zanu PF,” says spokesman, Chris Mutsvangwa as he insists that Vice-President Constantino Chiwenga will not be automatically elevated to succeed President Emmerson Mnangagwa in 2028.

He told the Standard : “Zanu PF is not a church where people can be anointed. Don't try to foist the president upon yourselves. The president is not the Pope of the Catholic Church or the Archbishop of Canterbury, who anoints priests.”

“Everyone who goes into politics, and has an ambition to be a leader must play by the rules, especially of a revolutionary democratic party. That’s why the president was very clear saying, ‘I will not usurp the decision-making powers of the people of Zimbabwe or the membership of Zanu PF- I will retire’.

“In the Anglican Church in Canterbury, or the Vatican they have secret godly agreements because they are not democratic organisations. Zanu PF is not Makandiwa’s church where he can have himself, his wife and his kids and his followers and say this is my church. President Mnangagwa is an elected leader of a revolutionary democratic party.
