TAGWIREI, ED & POWER IN ZIMBABWE 🇿🇼
1/1 Is Kudakwashe Tagwirei just a businessman, a strategic instrument in ED Mnangagwa's political network? The relationship raises hard questions about power, influence and who benefits from Zimbabwe's resources.
End
Money can buy influence. It cannot automatically buy legitimacy, loyalty or the presidency. ED wants to position Tagwirei for Presidency but it’s too late , the outcome is not guaranteed. They don’t know what the men in security and in service has done already.
1/10
Tensions involving VP Chiwenga and ED exposed the divisions surrounding Tagwirei’s rise. Political power depends on more than money, it also depends on party history, liberation credentials and the balance of power within the establishment.
1/9
The plan may look straightforward, build Tagwirei’s influence, strengthen his position in party structures and use his resources to cultivate loyalty. But ZANU-PF is not a business boardroom. Political power depends on more than money, it depends on party history.
1/8🧵 | THE SUCCESSION GAME
Was ED positioning Tagwirei as a potential successor while using his financial muscle to consolidate political influence?Tagwirei is being lined up for the presidency. The question is whether this strategy underestimated the resistance within ZANU-PF.
1/7
Here is the fundamental issue, if politically connected business figures benefit from state contracts, who holds them accountable? Instead of E’D look into these matters he dismissed them cause he is benefiting from the corrupt activities by Tagwirei siphoning billions.
1/6
The reported September 2025 confrontation within ZANU-PF brought these concerns into sharper focus. VP Chiwenga reportedly made serious allegations about Tagwirei’s influence and the alleged misuse of public resources. Those claims are real and prosecution should be made.
1/5
Could Tagwirei’s wealth and business network also serve broader political interests? That is a legitimate question everyone is asking. However, he is deliberately being used by ED to ascend to power , as he is a good political pawn to use for the achievement of E’Ds Kingship.
1/4
Consider Command Agriculture, a programme championed by ED’s administration.The US Treasury cited concerns about public funds and accountability surrounding the programme. Zimbabweans deserve transparent accounts of how public money was spent, who benefited and what came out.
1/3
The bigger question is how business and political power intersect. When a businessman has close ties to the highest levels of government and operates in strategic sectors such as fuel, agriculture and mining, where does private enterprise end and political influence begin?
1/2
In August 2020, the US Treasury sanctioned Tagwirei and Sakunda Holdings, alleging that his relationships with senior government officials helped him secure state contracts and preferential access to foreign currency. These are documented allegations ready for prosecution.
‼️ ‼️ ‼️
I’m going to write the criminal activities of Tagwirei, Auxilia,Tungwarara and how they are trying to push back the VP from becoming a president though they have lost the battle already, details are on the table and none shall be fruitful. MID is way ahead on counter.
@ChiChimugov Mukosho wababa vako, chichaunoziva iwee, we are here kugadzirisa nyika , apa you are busy supporting shit apa wakapedzisira kudya nyama 3months ago.
Warning to Tagwirei ‼️
Bvudzi jena, let me tell you this, don’t underestimate General Chiwenga, it’s the millitary that made you rich through command agriculture and fuel let me warn you again, stop paying small little CIO boys to look for ways to get to VP’s food.Urimutete
Part 6
Then he started moving ammunition. External intelligence in SA picked it up. Ramaphosa had to fly to Zimbabwe on a Sunday, unannounced. He warned the businessman and E.D. that their dealings could cost them. Some money was moving through SA banks. Had big implications
On the succession battle.
The CAB3 bill would extend presidential terms and shift presidential election to parliamentary vote, widely analyzed as a move to block Chiwenga's 2028 ascent.
Chiwenga remains "the undisputed frontrunner" structurally.
CAB3,It’s going to be reversed.
