FULL VICE-PRESIDENT CONSTANTINO CHIWENGA’S POLITBURO PRESENTATION ON 17 SEPTEMBER 2025

Comrade President, we undertook Operation Restore Legacy with a sacred mandate: to reclaim our nation from the jaws of corruption and to restore the dignity, prosperity, and sovereignty of Zimbabwe for its people.
Comrade President, in November 2017, we took a bold and necessary step to remove former President Robert Mugabe from power, because:
• he sought to manipulate our Constitution for personal gain.
• he allowed certain individuals and family to seize his executive authority and abuse it.
• he ignored the suffering of the people while a corrupt elite looted with impunity.
• he turned ZANU-PF into a personal fiefdom, disregarding its founding values.
During November 2017, we risked everything – our lives, our freedom, our futures – to restore and defend our legacy, the Party and the Constitution.
Today, history is repeating itself in the most shameful way Comrade President. Why we find ourselves in this situation is both shocking and shameful.
Comrade President, on several occasions and even abroad, you have informed the nation that you are a Constitutionalist and yet it is now clear for anyone to see that the so-called 2030 Agenda to extend your term of office is real and alive, and this has now taken us back to the ills that led us to November 2017.
Moreover, the drivers of this so-called 2030 Agenda have now made corruption, looting of our state coffers and bribery of our structures the cornerstone of their contribution to this campaign, and this is now destroying our Party and violating our Constitution.
We are witnessing in shock as some of our officials in the Party and Government have now become a law unto themselves and are even announcing to our people at gatherings that we are no longer holding elections in 2028. These are critical announcements on matters that we as a Presidium and the Central Committee have never discussed nor did we pass a resolution at the last 2022 Congress.
The reality which is clearly emerging is that this 2030 Agenda is being funded and driven by known criminals who have brazenly looted our state coffers with impunity and are now using these resources whose capture and control of our Party is unprecedented and deeply worrying.
We surely cannot fold our hands and watch these criminals like Kudakwashe Tagwirei, Wicknell Chivhayo, Scott Sakupwanya, and Delish Nguwaya, amongst others, structures and in the process destroy our Party.
Comrade President, these criminals and their associates have been engaged in a brazen and systematic campaign and stealing from our Government and to date, they have stolen more than US$3.2 billion of Government funds through:
10.1 the stealing of our US$1.9 billion from the Ministry of Finance to Kudakwashe Tagwirei for selling a 35% stake in Kuvimba Mining House.
10.2 the stealing of state assets like Sandawana Mines and the Zimbabwe Defence Forces’ Great Dyke Investments by Kudakwashe Tagwirei, and inclusion of these assets in his fraudulent stealing of our US$1.9 billion.
10.3 the stealing and concealment by Kudakwashe Tagwirei of the Party’s 45% shareholding in Sakunda Holdings held by Mvuto Investments (Private) Limited, an investment vehicle of the Party held through our National Reconstruction Group, which was purchased in November 2013.
10.4 the stealing by Wicknell Chivhayo of US$45 million of our money from the Zimbabwe Election Commission.
10.5 the stealing by Wicknell Chivhayo of state funds more than US$193 million from our government coffers through one bank in our country and we know that he has stolen some horrific amounts from our Government coffers through other banks in our country.
10.6 the stealing of more than US$800 million from Government coffers by Scott Sakupwanya through the so-called gold incentive scheme, which has now been made into a tollgate fraud.
10.7 the stealing of US$162 million of public funds by Delish Nguwaya through his irregular and inflated Geo Pomona contract with the City of Harare.
10.8 the stealing of more than US$60 million of Government funds by Delish Nguwaya through his irregular and inflated Clean Planet Resources contract with the Ministry of Health/NatPharm.
The actions of these criminals, which also include turning your Private office, Comrade President, into a place where key Government decisions are made, demand that strong action be taken immediately to preserve our Party and stability in our Country.
Comrade President, we discussed issues around the Land Tenure Implementation Committee and we as a Presidium and Cabinet appointed the Party Chairman, Comrade Muchinguri to lead this process and report back on how best we can approach this but to our shock and disbelief, Kudakwashe Tagwirei is now running with this and reversing the Land Reform Program, completely going against the resolutions we made at the 2022 Congress.
Furthermore, Comrade President, these criminals have polluted the concept of Affiliates that we set up to support the Party. The clear intentions that we had of how these Affiliates should complement the Party have now been completely hijacked by these criminals, and we are now seeing Affiliates being more resourced and becoming more powerful and influential than our Organs of the Party.
Comrade President, you recall I brought to your attention the treasonous project which has been penned by Jonathan Moyo for our Parliament to implement, the so-called Breaking Barriers Initiative which is seeking to change our political system and suspend elections to 2035. Not only is this Project treasonous and a huge scandal, and it’s being done and championed by people like Jonathan Moyo, whom we fired from the Party. This Breaking Barriers Initiative has also never been discussed and approved at the Party’s last Congress, nor has it ever been discussed and approved by the Central Committee. We are now watching in shock and disbelief as this project is now being covertly implemented and being funded by these criminals, Kudakwashe Tagwirei, Wicknell Chivhayo, Scott Sakupwanya, and Delish Nguwaya, and their associates.
Comrade President, tirikuti vanhu ava, Kudakwashe Tagwirei, Wicknell Chivhayo, Scott Sakupwanya, and Delish Nguwaya, and their associates, ngavasungwe, immediately for these unprecedented crimes they have committed.
Tingarambe takatarisa vanhu vachiba more than US$3.2 billion in cash from our state coffers while our people are suffering out there? Even mealie meal is now running out because of maize shortages while we are prioritising paying these criminals, ma hospitals are running out of critical medicines and now the same people who are stealing our assets and resources are now using these resources to hijack power, corrupt our structures and destroy our Party?
Comrade President, the time for silence and inaction is over, and we cannot allow these criminals who have stolen from our Government coffers and our Party to start using the same resources to bribe fellow comrades and our structures to get their support, defend and protect them.
These criminals are not just enriching themselves; they are using their stolen wealth to capture our Party, manipulate state institutions, and compromise key officials. They are creating a parallel power structure funded by the very state they are destroying. This cannot be tolerated for a single day longer.
The time for silence and inaction is over, Comrade President. We, as the Party’s Presidium, have serious issues to immediately deal with that will define our future, and we must immediately prioritise cleaning our house, reclaim our State and our Party from the capture by Kudakwashe Tagwirei, Wicknell Chivhayo, Scott Sakupwanya, and Delish Nguwaya and their associates. We need to reaffirm the sacred principles of the revolution and our legacy, the future of our nation, and the faith of our people depend on the decisive actions we take now.
I submit Comrade President.
