In his address to the Zanu-PF Women’s League National Assembly meeting at the party’s headquarters in Harare yesterday, President Robert Mugabe said that the military has no right to interfere in Zanu-PF succession debate stating that politics leads the gun. Said Mugabe:
Ko mamanoeuvres aya anozoitwa nerweseri and organisations twese tumwe even of young people vatakange tinavo kuhondo kuti vaswere kunditsoropodza mumapaper? It is not vananaMutsvangwa per se. They are not alone they are being sent by those at the top.
The military vese have no right you know, to be interfering with the political processes. Theirs is to support. They can give their own views within the Constitution and according to also the principle that politics shall always lead the gun and not the gun politics. Iyoyo inenge yava coup iyo. Zvino chiona zvimwe zvirikuitika zvichibva ikoko kuvakuru varikoko kuti President ngaachibva. Ngaachibva kuchipinda ani? Ndiani akatarirwa kuti ndiye anosungirwa kupinda.
