Walter Mzembi unleashes bombshell on possible coup brewing
Walter Mzembi, the former Foreign Affairs Minister who is now living in exile, has issued a serious warning to President Emmerson Mnangagwa about a possible coup from within his own party. Mzembi claims that the very Zanu PF politicians who currently support Mnangagwa may be plotting against him as he takes actions against those he perceives as threats.
Currently believed to be living in South Africa, Mzembi compared Mnangagwa’s situation to that of the late former President Robert Mugabe. He described Mugabe’s final days as marked by what he calls “superstar dictator disease,” which made Mugabe increasingly paranoid and convinced that enemies were everywhere. Mzembi noted, “Mugabe suffered this disease of always shouting at people when he took the podium; the briefings he got incensed him, but it was all part of the act and conspiracy. They would tell him, ‘You are a revolutionary; you go down fighting.’ Some of us desperately trying to prop up Brand Zimbabwe as part of our brief and mandate, would warn him, as I do to my Murambwi brother here, that they are trying to set you up for failure.”
Having served as a Cabinet minister during Mugabe’s long reign, Mzembi asserted that Mnangagwa is surrounded by dishonest people who create false narratives, making him react irrationally to both real and imagined threats. He claimed, “Your rhetoric and the clampdown on civil society are all part of the act to make you look very bad, a superstar dictator hosting a SADC Summit. They make you see ghosts and enemies in your own people and children, arrest and torture them in your name, and spread footage which also goes viral in your own ‘mhesvamukono’ language!”
Mzembi warned that if Mnangagwa continues down this path, he might face backlash from his own colleagues in the Southern African Development Community (SADC) as well as pressure from the international community. He explained, “Soon, you start receiving phone calls from your own SADC colleagues, under pressure from the international community alarmed by such blatant and brazen violation of human rights, and the next thing you have a boycott of this summit. Your own people box you exactly where they want you to be, an incompetent leader!”
Mzembi urged Mnangagwa to recognize the alleged conspiracy against him and to stop his operations against the people. He emphasized that continuing with these actions would only lead to further manipulation and potential failure for the president. “Wake up and smell the coffee, Mr. President. You are being set up to fail by your own. Stop this operation against your people; it’s loaded with conspiracy,” Mzembi advised.
The warning from Mzembi reflects a growing concern among some political insiders about the stability of Mnangagwa’s government and the potential for internal dissent. This situation raises questions about the loyalty of those surrounding the president and the potential consequences of his actions against perceived enemies. As Zimbabwe continues to navigate its complex political landscape, the implications of Mzembi’s claims could have a lasting impact on the future of the Zanu PF party and the governance of the country.
