The Zimbabwe war veterans have reaffirmed their support for Vice President Emmerson Mnangangwa. They said that Mnangangwa is the only official with the necessary attributes to take over from President Rober Mugabe. They also questioned why the VP office is the only one which should be subject to elections, instead of all offices.
The veterans are against the G40 group which is said to be against Emmerson Mnangagwa taking over from Rober Mugabe. Zimbabwe National Liberation War Veterans Association (ZNLWVA) secretary general Victor Matemadanda speaking to the Daily News said:
If G40 thinks that it can use some useless resolutions as their new strategy to fight Mnangagwa, they are losing the plot because it is their own candidates such as (Vice President Phelekezela) Mphoko who will lose
If vice presidents are supposed to be elected, then that should apply to every other member of the politburo, including the president. We should not hear about other offices being protected by having to be endorsed by provinces, while others are made vulnerable
