Lawyers representing Zanu PF member Sybeth Musengezi who has taken President Emmerson Mnangagwa to court, saying he is illegitimate have lambasted the President's attorney Edwin Manikai for "unethical" and "unprofessional" conduct, and reported him to the Law Society of Zimbabwe. ImageImageImage
In a dramatic escalation of tensions, while acknowledging receipt of Manikai’s earlier letter on 11 November 2021 addressing Mnangagwa's legitimacy issue, Ncube Attorneys wrote in a letter dated 18 November 2021 complaining about Manikai's behaviour and "bullying tactics".
Manikai, who is representing Mnangagwa, is a senior partner at DMH. He chairs Mnangagwa’s moribund Presidential Advisory
Council, which has all but collapsed, amid governance dysfunctionality, as it proved inapt and inept beyond its PR function. Manikai is related to Mnangagwa.

#CrocodileTearsOverSKMoyo
Former Zanu PF provincial chair and MP Temba Mliswa, now independent MP, says Zanu PF leaders and youth activists unleashed by factional bigwigs destroyed the late ruling party spokesman Simon Khaya Moyo in 2014 when he was the national chairperson.
Khaya Moyo died on Sunday. He was declared a national hero and would be buried at Heroes Acre in Harare on Monday.
However, Mliswa says Zanu PF faction led former vice-president Joice Mujuru and Emmerson Mnangagwa, now President, were complicit in destroying Khaya Moyo.
Factional leaders sent runners, Zanu youth activists, Tongai Kasukuwere and Lewis Matutu to do a hatchet job on him in 2014.

#Hypocrisy
When opposition MDC Alliance leader Nelson Chamisa joked he would give President Emmerson Mnangagwa his sister if he won in 2018, women activists were outraged, but when Vice-President Constantino Chiwenga's estranged wife Marry Mubaiwa is being crushed they are quiet. ImageImageImage
Under normal circumstances women's groups should be taking the lead on the Marry issue because of their special interest in women issues, but men also ought to be vocal as well. However, women are quiet, except for muffled protests here and there, but certainly not as outraged.
Again the women and human rights groups were loud and sounded outraged when Chamisa appeared to be grabbing a microphone from his wife at a rally. They immediately reacted with anger and noise, but now they are muted. This has raised questions on their acts and moral principles.

Amid renewed pressure from socially disgruntled and some xenophobic South African elements, mainly the poor feeling the heat of poverty, for foreigners to leave the country, EFF leader Julius Malema is standing firm: I'll never denounce fellow African brothers and sisters.
Some section of South African society has launched a renewed campaign against foreigners, mainly Zimbabweans which includes identifying and naming those who work in high public and private sector positions and may have fraudulent IDs or changed names, for them to be deported.
The new xenophobic campaign is waged through social media and may ignite a fresh wave of violence against foreigners.

The lure of authoritarianism...
For some time now, journalists running The NewsHawks have been reporting that Western countries would prefer President Emmerson Mnangagwa to adopt a Rwandan leadership model of "progressive authoritarianism", which is highly controversial. Image
It started when the British were supporting Mnangagwa before the coup to take over from the late former president Robert Mugabe.
They reasoned a Rwandan model of a strong, competent leadership supported by a securocratic, efficient state would perhaps for work for the country.
Since Mnangagwa came to power through a coup, backed by the British and some Western countries, there have been active and sustained efforts to have Zimbabwe copy the Rwandan model in many respects.

#CorporateBattle
In what is a tale of two brothers, top Zimbabwean businessman Farai Matsika and his cousin brother Moses Chingwena have endured a nasty fallout, with Matsika weeping in court after losing shareholding in Croco Motors run by Chingwena in a fierce legal battle. ImageImage
Matsika had appealed a High Court judgment against him by Justice Owen Tagu, claiming he that he had erred by finding that he wanted to grab the company from Chingwena through the back door.
However, Supreme Court Justice Chinembiri Bhunu dismissed Matsika's appeal with punitive costs, saying he had created fraudulent documents to deceive the court.
This left Matsika not only having lost his shareholding in Croco Motors, but also bruised with a tattered reputation.
