Zanu PF dismisses reports of rally at President Mnangagwa’s Precabe Farm, says only Politburo & CC members allowed
ZANU PF has strongly dismissed claims that a star rally is planned for President Mnangagwa’s Precabe Farm, saying the only event taking place involves top leadership — not the public.
In a statement posted on X (formerly Twitter), party official Farai Muroiwa Marapira labelled circulating rally posters as fake.
“The poster below is fake. Only Politburo and Central Committee Members will be visiting the President’s farm tomorrow,”
wrote Marapira on 24 May 2025.
He added that the visit was to “drive and establish a manufacturing economy backed by the throughput of a vibrant farming and mining industry.”
ZACC account controversy adds fuel to the fire
The situation took a twist when a post from an account purporting to belong to the Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission (@ZACConline) alleged a deeper agenda.
“Why did @marapira_farai wait until this morning to deny a @ZANUPF_Official star rally planned for Precabe Farm?”
the post questioned.
The post, which has since gone viral, alleged that the event was a covert operation to elevate controversial businessman Kuda Tagwirei to the ZANU PF Politburo and eventually the Presidium.
“Who is funding this jaunt at Precabe — obviously it’s Tagwirei… We cannot watch quietly a process to elevate the man behind the massive corruption and grand theft of national funds and minerals,”
the post continued.
It ended by urging Politburo members to reject the move and instead “pass a resolution for the arrest of Tagwirei and his accomplices.”
‘That account was hijacked’
However, hours before the controversial post went out, another account claiming to be the official ZACC handle, @ZACConline_, issued a warning.
“Kindly note that the account @ZACConline was hijacked in June 2024, and efforts to reclaim it have been futile,”
it stated on 23 May 2025.
This means the dramatic statement may not be from ZACC at all — though it had already sparked intense debate online.
Chin’ono wades in
Award-winning journalist Hopewell Chin’ono didn’t miss the moment to weigh in on the confusion.
“Efforts to recover it were futile because you are a bunch of incompetent people appointed based on where you come from or who you are related to… Useless people!!”
he posted, referring to government appointees.
The alleged rally, the hijacked ZACC account, and the accusations around Tagwirei have all collided into a cloud of confusion, with no clear resolution in sight.
ZANU PF has not commented further beyond Marapira’s initial statement.
