Chiwenga laughs off Mnangagwa 2030 ambition
Vice President Constantino Chiwenga
In a captivating and unscripted moment at the 21st Movement function in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe’s Vice President Constantino Chiwenga was caught on camera openly laughing off President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s boastful claim that he’ll succeed in violating the constitution and cancelling future elections.
The scene, now making waves on social media, offers a rare glimpse into the brewing tensions at the highest levels of Zimbabwe’s political hierarchy.
Dressed in a crisp white shirt adorned with bold, traditional prints, Chiwenga exuded confidence as he paced on outside the Ministry of Industry and Commerce building.
His entourage surrounded him, but it was his reaction to the 2030 presidency talk that stole the show. As a journalist Annahstacia Ndlovu posed a question about Mnangagwa’s ambitions to extend his rule indefinitely, Chiwenga’s face broke into a broad grin, his laughter unmistakable.
The video captures Chiwenga chuckling with genuine amusement, a stark contrast to the stoic and often controlled expressions typical of Zimbabwean political figures. The laughter wasn’t just a passing reaction—it was a powerful statement.
It spoke volumes about the skepticism within the corridors of power regarding Mnangagwa’s intentions and the reality of his grasp over the ruling ZANU PF party.
As he strolled away, still smiling, Chiwenga’s demeanor seemed to say it all: the idea of Mnangagwa bending the constitution to his will is nothing short of laughable. Behind him, a sea of aides and officials exchanged knowing glances, as if acknowledging the unspoken truth that not everyone within the party was marching to Mnangagwa’s beat.
This public display of mirth from Zimbabwe’s vice president is already fueling speculation about the future of the nation’s leadership.
Will the masses allow this to happen? Anything can happen anytime from now.
With whispers of internal party disputes and increasing calls for Mnangagwa to step down, Chiwenga’s laughter might just be the sound of an impending political shift.
Whether this moment marks the beginning of the end for Mnangagwa’s controversial rule remains to be seen, but one thing is certain: the laughter of a vice president can sometimes echo louder than the proclamations of a president.
