In the great plains of our motherland, when a mighty beast is wounded and ailing, the vultures begin to circle. They do not kill it. They wait, with unnerving patience, for the moment it can no longer stand. Our nation, our Constitution, is that wounded beast. And as it stumbles, a coterie of political vultures, emboldened by the scent of decay, is gathering for a feast. Their plan is not to heal the nation, but to carve up its dying body for their own gluttonous benefit.
This is the grim reality of the “Revived 2030 Bid.” It is not a political strategy; it is a vulture’s banquet, hosted by a desperate President and financed by a corrupt kingmaker.
The Path Blocked by Principle
The Zvigananda faction’s first attempt to seize power through the front door was cut off not by chance, but by a firm stance of principle. It was Vice President Constantino Chiwenga—who has at every opportunity spoken out against corruption and the “zvigananda,” and who recently warned them that a “day of reckoning is inevitable”—who personally took action and ejected Kudakwashe Tagwirei from the Central Committee meeting.
This decisive act of leadership was then swiftly endorsed and institutionalized by the party’s Chairman, Obert Mpofu. His office issued the now-famous circular dated 05 June 2025, a document that served as a constitutional firewall. By reaffirming the party’s sacred rule that any member aspiring to the Central Committee must have served the people for at least five years in a senior provincial position, the Chairman’s circular confirmed for all to see that Tagwirei was utterly and completely ineligible.
Together, these two actions, the principled ejection by the Vice President and the constitutional affirmation by the Chairman, slammed the door shut on any legitimate path to power for the Zvigananda faction’s financier. Blocked, humiliated, and with no legitimate path forward, the faction has now reverted to its final, terrifying option: to burn down the entire house. The defiant cries from provinces like Midlands for a Mnangagwa third term are the shrieks of these vultures growing impatient, signalling that the feast of treason is about to begin.
The Treason Pact: A Feast on the Law
Chilling intelligence reports lay out the menu. The reports confirm President Mnangagwa’s advisors know he is deeply unpopular, facing a staggering 70-80% rejection rate from the people. A democratic referendum on a third term would be a humiliating defeat.
Their appalling solution? To manufacture a national crisis. The plan is to incite a “security threat” to create chaos and fear, then use that chaos as an excuse to declare a state of emergency and suspend the Constitution to illegally extend his term. In this lawless environment, they would bulldoze the 2030 bid into reality. For their roles in this plot against Zimbabwe, the key players have already been promised their cuts of the meat.
The Architects of Ruin: A Guide for the People
- The Patron of the Feast: President Emmerson Mnangagwa
The President is like the old lion of the pride. He is supposed to be the strongest, the guardian of the kingdom. But this lion is wounded by his own unpopularity and terrified of losing his throne. So, instead of chasing away the scavengers, he has invited them to the feast. He has agreed to let them tear apart the kingdom’s laws in exchange for their help in keeping him in power. A leader who must destroy his country’s constitution to remain its leader has betrayed his people. His is the ultimate weakness, sacrificing the nation for his own ambition.
- The Chief Vulture: Kudakwashe Tagwirei
He is the financier of this feast. His immense wealth, which previous reports have shown was looted from the state through corrupt deals, is the currency of this treason. Having been blocked from the house by principled leadership, he is now paying to have the walls torn down. The intelligence report states his reward for funding this plot is to be appointed First Vice President, replacing VP Chiwenga. It is his final act of capture: to move from simply owning the nation’s assets to owning its second-highest office. But we all know this is a temporary price, the grand price is taking over the reins from ED at some point.
- The Parliamentary Butcher: Jacob Mudenda
The Speaker of Parliament is like the headmaster of a school, whose most sacred duty is to ensure the school’s rules are followed fairly for everyone. But the report alleges Mr. Mudenda has agreed to become the butcher of the rulebook. His job will be to allow the illegal constitutional changes to pass through Parliament, giving this crime a false cloak of legitimacy. For this betrayal of his office, he has been promised the post of Second Vice President.
- The Legal Scavengers: Ziyambi Ziyambi and Virginia Mabhiza
Imagine the most respected legal minds in your village, the ones people trust to interpret the laws and ensure justice. Now imagine they were paid to publicly declare that theft is now legal. This is the alleged role of Ziyambi Ziyambi and Virginia Mabhiza. The report says Ziyambi, the current Justice Minister, will be moved to Speaker to force the plot through, while Mabhiza will become the new Justice Minister to justify the unjustifiable. Their job is to use their knowledge of the law to kill the law.
- The Agent of Chaos: Wicknell Chivayo
His alleged task is to “arrange the security threat” that will start the fire. He is the man paid to shout ‘Fire!’ in a crowded theatre, not because there is a fire, but so his friends can pick the pockets of the panicking crowd. By creating chaos, he gives the others the excuse they need to impose their illegal rule. His reward for this evil work, according to the report, is the promise of more “multibillion-dollar government contracts and looting opportunities”.
While these six plan their feast, the people of Zimbabwe starve. While they are promised Vice Presidencies and Ministries, you are promised another five years of this agony.
This is not a distant political game. This is a direct, calculated assault on your children’s future. The plan to burn the constitution is a plan to burn down your house, your job, and your last remaining hope. The true custodians of ZANU-PF and the citizens of this nation must recognize this for what it is: a final, desperate plot by a cabal of vultures to ensure their banquet never ends.
