Mnangagwa declares Mugabe supreme leader
Published: July 22, 2009
HARARE(ZimEye)-Emmerson Mnangagwa, one of the Zanu PF high ranking official has re-ignited the party’s succession debate by declaring that his province Midlands has endorsed President Mugabe as the supreme leader ahead of the party’ youth, women and national congress.
Addressing party supporters in Gweru, Mnangagwa said the Midlands Province Coordinating Committee has endorsed President Mugabe as the supreme leader ahead of the youth and women conferences as well as the national congress to be held in December.
Mnangagwa said as a province they agreed that they are satisfied and committed to the leadership of Mugabe who is also the Party’s First Secretary.
A similar test for Mugabe’ leadership was started a few years ago, when some provinces started declaring Mugabe as their candidate for last year’s elections.
A fierce fight arose as other provinces that were aligned to the Mujuru camp opposed the idea leading to the reversals of the decision during the party’s conference held in Goromonzi two years ago.
Ray Kaukonde who was leading the Mujuru camp at a time when he was the Governor of Mashonaland East later skipped the country after an assassination attempt on him.
Zanu PF is expected to hold a youth conference next month, followed by the women conference.
A final national congress in December that is supposed to deal with the succession of Mugabe.
After a frosty relationship in 2005, Mnangagwa is now one of Mugabe’s favoured candidates to replace him.
However the Mujuru camp is also fighting for the control of the party. (ZimEye, Zimbabwe)

Mnangagwa shall certainly rule, but so that he can die within 60 days. He shall rule with an iron finger. In that day Tsvangirai’s eyes shall turn into a pool of tears, in the day Simba Makoni shall enter State House. I have spoken!

definatelly mugabe is a supreme leader, Mnangagwa wabaya dede ne kuma.s.h.u.r.e.Hapana umwe anogona kutonga sa Mugabe pasi rino uye ane hushingi sa mudhara bhobho.Off course mnangagwa hake angangoita mbavha asi apa ndinomurumbidza kuti anogona kuona.thats these pigs hate mugabe, they know that he is the only brave and strongest black african leader in the world. As long as he is alive,whites won’t fool around blacks. he is their lion, even G Bush knew him very well.
