Vice President Constantino Chiwenga is reportedly preparing to confront President Emmerson Mnangagwa at today’s ZANU PF Politburo meeting, with CAB3 top of the agenda. Sources inside the ruling party say the power struggle has entered a decisive phase.
According to political analysts, the long-simmering power struggle between the two leaders has reached a critical juncture, with CAB3 (the contentious third term agenda) at the centre of the dispute.
The Politburo meeting, scheduled for this afternoon, is expected to be one of the most consequential in recent ZANU PF history. Insiders suggest Chiwenga has been building support within the party’s military and administrative wings ahead of the confrontation.
Key issues expected to dominate discussions include:
- CAB3 — The push to extend President Mnangagwa’s term beyond 2028
- Party leadership succession — Growing calls for clarity on the post-Mnangagwa era
- Military loyalty — Recent signals from retired generals backing Chiwenga
This comes just days after retired army generals publicly defended Chiwenga’s position, signalling deepening divisions within the security establishment.
