ZANU PF Harare Province Endorses Kudakwashe Tagwirei For Central Committee

The ZANU PF Harare Province has decided to recommend businessman Kudakwashe Tagwirei for a position in the ruling party’s Central Committee.

The Central Committee is the party’s top decision-making body when Congress is not in session, with powers to amend the constitution, implement policies, and manage party and government activities.

During a meeting on Monday afternoon (31 March) at the party’s provincial headquarters, provincial chairperson Godwills Masimirembwa described Tagwirei as a visionary business leader. He said:

Members of the Central Committee in Harare have proposed that Cde Tagwirei be recommended for co-option into the Central Committee of ZANU PF.

Cde Tagwirei is a party member in the Harare Metropolitan Province. He is a business strategist; a visionary business leader.

So the proposal was put forward and the PCC unanimously agreed to recommend him for co-option into the Central Committee of ZANU PF.

We are going to submit this recommendation to the party’s Secretary-General, Dr Obert Mpofu.

Journalist Hopewell Chin’ono has speculated that Tagwirei is on a path to be appointed to the ZANU PF politburo, potentially positioning him to succeed President Emmerson Mnangagwa as the party’s leader when the time comes.

Chin’ono suggested that this agenda serves as a tactical maneuver to prevent General Constantino Chiwenga from ascending to the presidency, allowing Mnangagwa to install his preferred successor instead.

Chin’ono also claimed that Mnangagwa is planning to retire his “clansman”, General Philip Valerio Sibanda, from the army and bring him in as a replacement for Vice-President Kembo Mohadi.
