Harare, Zimbabwe (News of the South)-Vice President Emmerson Mnangagwa has been accused of being afraid of elections leading to his Lacoste faction pursuing a faulty successionist agenda in the ZANU PF party.
The veiled accusation by Prof Jonathan Moyo comes a few days after Patrick Zhuwao, Pres Mugabe’s nephew also attacked Mnangagwa and his faction for bringing disrepute to the party.
“Driven by their sense of entitlement, power hungry successionists & their clueless media mouthpieces are fatally allergic to elections. Sad!’
Moyo wrote on his social account that the move by Lacoste is idiotic.
“What is idiotic? Entitlement based succession is what is idiotic”.
“President Mugabe was elected & not anointed. His term of office is live!’
“Anyone who aspires for higher office must seek the people’s mandate via elections & not idiotically treat an appointment as an anointment”, Prof Moyo added.
Responding to a question Moyo however refused that he harboured ill-feelings for the VP.
“No hatred from me”.
“But folks can’t capture & abuse state institutions to threaten liberties, livelihoods & lives & expect congratulations!’ he said.
