Auxillia Mnangagwa Audio Exposes ED, Army Tension - Report
First Lady Auxillia Mnangagwa’s rant against a military commander she identifies as “Murombo” has exposed the animosity between President Emmerson Mnangagwa and the military, a report claims.
The 8-minute long audio went viral on social media on Monday.
This comes barely two years after President Mnangagwa was propelled into office through a military coup that overthrew former President Robert Mugabe in November 2017.
NewsDay reports that it attempted to get a comment from the First Lady on Tuesday but she was not answering her phone.
However, permanent secretary in the Ministry of Information, Ndavaningi Nick Mangwana told the publication;

The information I received is that there is a lot of manipulation and simulation of the First Lady’s voice on the audio circulating.
Zimbabwe National Army spokesperson Lieutenant-Colonel Alphios Makotore told NewsDay that he was not aware of the alleged audio that was circulating.
In the audio, the First Lady railed at one Murombo who is suspected to have been using one of her security details to spy on her.
Murombo is believed to be Colonel Samson Murombo, the commander of 1 Presidential Guard Infantry Battalion situated at Josiah Magama Tongogara Barracks (formerly KGVI). She is heard shouting:
You must waylay me on the road. I’m coming from Bulawayo. If you don’t, straight away I’m coming to your office and you can do what you want with me.
You can’t deal with women like this. I’m going to make a story about this. I’m coming to your office to sit there. What threat am I? To who? What threat do I have?.
You draw your confidence from the fact that you have a gun. I’m coming there and you can shoot me. If you don’t shoot me before I get there, we’ll kill each other in your office.
When Murombo attempted to give her side of the story, Mnangagwa raved:
Get away! I’m just a mere woman, a grandmother. Go and shoot Mnangagwa, I ask for a pardon. Don’t shoot me because I’ve children.
Just shoot Mnangagwa, because I know this is all about him. Just go and shoot him, why do you want to shoot me? What have I done? What threat do I pose to you Murombo?
I don’t even know your wife. I don’t discuss politics, I don’t discuss military issues. I’m coming to your office.
It is not known when the incident happened or who was responsible for the leaking of the audio.
One theory suggests that the audio could have been recorded on June 17 this when First Lady Auxillia was in Bulawayo visiting former First Lady Janet Banana, the wife of the late former President Canaan Banana, exactly a month ago.
