President Emmerson Mnangagwa's leadership in Zimbabwe is being challenged from inside his own ZANU-PF party. Sources within the party have urged supporters to participate in mass protests, signaling a significant crack in Mnangagwa's support base. This internal opposition comes nearly eight years after Mnangagwa rose to power following a military coup.
The calls for his removal stem from widespread discontent over the country's economic struggles and perceived lack of progress under his leadership. Critics argue that Mnangagwa has failed to deliver on promises of economic reform and improved living standards. The protests, if they materialize, could pose a serious threat to his hold on power.
Mnangagwa's supporters, however, remain loyal and dismiss the internal opposition as a small faction seeking to destabilize the government. They maintain that Mnangagwa is working to address the country's challenges and needs more time to implement his policies. The coming weeks will be crucial in determining the outcome of this power struggle within ZANU-PF and its implications for Zimbabwe's future.
