“Are we not repeating the same mistakes which caused the second republic to be there.”

Chiwenga was prominent in Operation Restore Legacy, the military intervention which validated its topple of Mugabe’s federal government on the premises that there was endemic corruption in federal government by ‘wrongdoers surrounding Mugabe’, then called G40.

Mnangagwa alerted that failure to toe the celebration line has repercussions.
“Any revolutionary party will always have people that fail to run the correct line and fall by the wayside,” he included.
Provincial chairpersons, consisting of Daniel Garwe of Mashonaland East and Midlands’ Edson Chiherenge, took turns to use messages of uniformity to Mnangagwa following the celebration’s resolutions and did not miss out on the chance to straight fire salvos at the retired army general who is opposed to Mnangagwa’s quote to extend his incumbency to 2030.
