Christopher Mutsvangwa, Zanu PF spokesperson, openly criticizes Vice President Constantino Chiwenga despite being brothers. Their rivalry is rooted in historical family feuds and personal ambitions for political supremacy. Mutsvangwa’s jealousy and desire to reclaim familial stature push him to challenge Chiwenga, who remains a frontrunner for the presidency.
In Harare, it has been revealed that Vice President Constantino Chiwenga and Christopher Mutsvangwa, the Zanu PF spokesperson, share a complicated relationship that transcends political rivalry, as they are reportedly brothers. Mutsvangwa has been vocal in his criticisms of Chiwenga, who is poised to succeed President Emmerson Mnangagwa when his term ends in 2028, fueled by personal ambitions and deep-seated family conflicts.
Sources indicate that Mutsvangwa’s animosity stems from a toxic blend of jealousy stemming from historical family feuds, which led to the relocation of his grandfather from Wedza to Mhondoro. These conflicts date back to a feud among their ancestors, which severely fractured the family, leading to a struggle over heritage and legacy.
A source disclosed that the confrontation among three siblings, including the grandfathers of Mutsvangwa, the late defence minister Moven Mahachi, and Chiwenga, resulted in significant familial strife. As a consequence, Mutsvangwa’s grandfather changed his name while Chiwenga’s branch managed to retain prominence, perpetuating a rivalry marked by an obsession for familial recognition and success.
Mutsvangwa’s fixation on surpassing Chiwenga includes aspirations for higher educational achievements and political success as a means of reclaiming his family’s past dignity. He perceives himself as the more accomplished brother and aims to rectify familial disgrace, although Chiwenga’s accomplishments pose a considerable challenge to these aspirations.
Recently, Mutsvangwa launched scathing remarks against Chiwenga, labeling him illiterate and unelectable, yet Chiwenga’s supporters highlighted Mutsvangwa’s disappointing electoral performance. The ongoing family feud has prompted Chiwenga to urge President Mnangagwa to intervene and mitigate Mutsvangwa’s antagonism as tensions escalate within the party.
In conclusion, the rivalry between Vice President Constantino Chiwenga and Zanu PF spokesperson Christopher Mutsvangwa reflects deeper familial conflicts and historical grievances. Their personal animosities are intertwined with political ambitions, as Mutsvangwa attempts to assert dominance over Chiwenga. This ongoing feud not only illustrates the complexities within Zimbabwean politics but also highlights the influence of heritage and legacy in shaping their current dynamics.
