Vice President Constantino Chiwenga’s supporters have defended him against Zanu PF spokesperson Christopher Mutsvangwa’s accusations of ineptitude and disloyalty, which were revealed in a leaked recording. The General Chiwenga Voluntary Supporters Association (GCVSA) alleges Mutsvangwa is a spy for foreign powers, exacerbating factional tensions within the ruling party as they seek to protect national interests and leadership integrity.
In a recent development, supporters of Vice President Constantino Chiwenga have rallied to his defense following the release of a controversial recording featuring Zanu PF spokesperson Christopher Mutsvangwa. Mutsvangwa’s harsh critique of Chiwenga’s abilities has led to accusations of him being a double agent working for foreign interests, intensifying the existing factional divides within the ruling party.
The General Chiwenga Voluntary Supporters Association (GCVSA), a group dedicated to supporting Chiwenga, has openly challenged Mutsvangwa’s credibility, claiming that military intelligence has linked him to espionage activities with hostile foreign powers. In their official statement, they assert that Mutsvangwa’s actions are aimed at sabotaging Zimbabwe from within.
“The GCVSA is aware of a recent military intelligence dossier linking Mutsvangwa to espionage activities involving hostile foreign powers,” stated Secretary General Ntokozo Msipha. They branded Mutsvangwa an active saboteur, asserting his attacks against Chiwenga are orchestrated efforts to weaken the nation’s military and impede true patriots from gaining power.
Mutsvangwa’s damaging comments, published by the UK-based outlet Dug Up, portrayed Chiwenga as unelectable and unfit, citing the challenges faced by Chiwenga’s ex-wife as detrimental to his political viability. His remarks coincide with aspirations within the Zanu PF party for President Mnangagwa to extend his term beyond 2028.
Mutsvangwa, having played a pivotal role in the coup that removed former President Robert Mugabe, is now facing backlash from the Chiwenga faction. Supporters have labeled him as a traitor and a political opportunist, emphasizing that Zimbabweans are aware of his deceptive tactics. “You are not a kingmaker. You are not a revolutionary. You are a political scavenger, feeding on the scraps left behind by real leaders,” they assert, declaring their commitment to protect the revolution from those they categorize as mercenaries and traitors.
The ongoing conflict within the Zanu PF party highlights significant factionalism as Vice President Chiwenga’s supporters stand firm against the accusations levied by Christopher Mutsvangwa. The GCVSA has publicly denounced Mutsvangwa, alleging espionage ties and labeling his actions as sabotage against Zimbabwe’s values and leadership. As both factions vie for influence, the underlying tensions are indicative of a larger struggle for power as the country approaches critical political milestones.
