Former Zimbabwean minister Saviour Kasukuwere is living in fear in Johannesburg, South Africa, amid revelations a Serbian multi-disciplinary hit squad has been deployed by local deep state actors, whose source of authority is shadowy, to target him for capture, or elimination.

Kasukuwere, together with his friend Jonathan Moyo and their families, narrowly escaped a night military raid in Harare during the 2017 coup. He fled to Mozambique, Kenya and then South Africa where he is being hunted down by security agents and a hit squad for political reasons.

In 2018, Kasukuwere came back home and tried to negotiate peace with President Emmerson Mnangagwa's government, but it ended badly as he left fleeing when they tried to jail him and seize his properties.
He was accused of being part of the White City grenade attack in Bulawayo.

What started as a bid to mend a toxic relationship with the mother of his child, Chantelle Muteswa, has turned into a nightmare for South African-based Zimbabwean tycoon Frank Buyanga who has been arrested for child trafficking, immigration violations and forgery.

Buyanga has accused President Emmerson Mnangagwa's twin son Collins of having a relationship with his ex-girlfriend, Chantelle, and even written to the President himself pleading with him and his wife Auxillia to intervene in the matter, creating a messy and convoluted affair.

South African Police Services confirmed Buyanga's arrest at around 4am at a luxurious hotel in Sandton, Johannesburg, during a joint raid involving Interpol South Africa.
Buyanga stays at an upmarket penthouse at Michelangelo Towers in Sandton, Africa's richest square mile.

As Zanu PF opened its congress today, the late ex-president Robert Mugabe’s warning to Vice-President Constantino Chiwenga amid the 2017 coup has now come to pass.
Mugabe warned Chiwenga President Emmerson Mnangagwa would use and dump coup leaders unless he seized power himself.

Mugabe told journalists at his Borrowdale mansion on 15 March 2018 in his last interview that he warned Chiwenga that imposing Mnangagwa would end in grief as he would later purge coup plotters.
Mugabe advised Chiwenga to take over himself, but the then army commander balked.

After the coup, Mnangagwa, as Mugabe warned, went on to purge the coup leaders; dismantling the coalition that brought him to power.
Most of Chiwenga's factional allies have been removed, dumped and others have died mysteriously. Chiwenga himself nearly died of feared poisoning.
