Ziyambi's Rebuttal: Unpacking Mnangagwa's "Legal Coup" Against VP Chiwenga
Justice Minister Ziyambi Ziyambi presented a formal rebuttal to Vice President Constantino Chiwenga's allegations before the ZANU PF Politburo. This rebuttal was a declaration of political war disguised as a legal defence.
The statement, couched in constitutionalism and party discipline, aimed to reassert control, criminalise dissent, and dismantle the military-civilian compact in Zimbabwean politics since the 2017 coup.
This was not just a statement of defence; it was a manifesto of dominance.
By confronting his deputy, President Emmerson Mnangagwa abandoned the fiction of unity, signalling the arrival of the reckoning between the civilian leadership and the military elite.
Author's summary: Mnangagwa reasserts control through Ziyambi's rebuttal.
