Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>Alpha Media Holdings chairman Trevor Ncube has publicly admitted that he was naive and wrong to join the \u201cgive him a chance brigade\u201d when President Emmerson Mnangagwa became the country\u2019s leader on the back of the November 2017 military coup.<\/p>\n

Ncube said he resigned from the Presidential Advisory Council (PAC) after realising that the coup project won\u2019t end well. He said:<\/p>\n

I was one of those people who stood up and said give Emmerson Mnangagwa a chance and how wrong I was! But why did I say that?<\/p>\n

I said that because this man has sat in the same room with Robert Mugabe, he has seen what Robert Mugabe did in the country.<\/p>\n

Maybe, he is really interested in turning things around\u2026 This man played a role as far as Gukurahundi is concerned, the massacre of over 20 000 people in Matabeleland.<\/p>\n

Maybe, it\u2019s time for him to make amends for that. So I was generous in my spirit as a God-fearing man that this man was about to do a turnaround. Again was I disappointed!<\/p>\n

I was actually approached and I agreed to serve in the presidential advisory council, so I sat at close range with the President advising him on a number of issues but I have since retired, stepped down because I can see this thing is not going to end well.<\/p>\n

The lesson that we have gotten, all of us, is that anyone who embarks on a coup does not usually do so because they want to promote democracy, widen economic prosperity and so forth.<\/p>\n

The people that launched the coup in Zimbabwe were interested in protecting their small personal interests, ethnic interests, business interests and economic interests.<\/p>\n
