Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>ZIMBABWE cannot afford another five years of President Emmerson Mnangagwa\u2019s misrule characterised by toxic political differences, a failed economy and social strife, former Zanu PF stalwart Saviour Kasukuwere said on Monday.<\/p>\n

In a statement to officially announce plans to submit his papers to the nomination court sitting tomorrow, Kasukuwere, commonly known as Tyson in Zanu PF circles, said once elected, he would seek to unite the politically-fractured country through an \u201cIntra Zimbabwe Dialogue\u201d process that is beyond politics.<\/p>\n

In a long letter addressed to Zimbabweans, the former Zanu PF commissar said his fight was against fear and in pursuit of renewed hope for the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy decision to stand as an independent candidate, painful as it is, arises out of two missed opportunities,\u201d Kasukuwere said.<\/p>\n

\u201cBoth in December 2017 and September 2022, our party congress failed to allow fair competition for the presidency.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a result, it failed to unite the membership, forgive the past, and reconcile for the future of our glorious revolution.<\/p>\n

\u201cUnfortunately, to this day, notwithstanding a promise to let \u2018bygones be bygones\u2019 post-November 2017 and a pledge to \u2018restore the legacy\u2019 and values of our liberation movement, we continue to witness exclusionary politics; persecution of members who loyally served the people, the party, the government, and the late founding President Cde Robert Gabriel Mugabe.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added: \u201cOur position was and remains clear that without intimidation and abuse of State institutions, Cde Mnangagwa could never have won and cannot win any leadership position in a fair and open political process.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kasukuwere, who is exiled in South Africa, said all Zimbabweans had given Mnangagwa and Zanu PF the space to govern after the coup, but he squandered the goodwill and \u201cdismally\u201d failed to live up to his promises.<\/p>\n

The former Local Government minister said Mnangagwa had failed to deliver on his promises of healthcare for all, electricity, youth jobs, educational reforms, a modern railway system, mechanise, modernise and grow the economy; institute security sector reforms that foster international re-engagement.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe question for the party is whether Cde Mnangagwa must be allowed to fail for another five years at the expense of the people of Zimbabwe?<\/p>\n

\u201cThe country cannot afford another five years of toxic political differences, a failed economy, and social strife.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is time to settle this by throwing this matter back to the people through this election for them to make a choice between fear and hope,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Kasukuwere also said Mnangagwa\u2019s conduct as Zanu PF leader and State President was averse to the core values of the liberation movement of inclusive, open, and transparent politics.<\/p>\n

\u201cHis tenure and leadership style so far have left our party structures \u2014 the main wing, the women\u2019s league, and the youth league \u2014 badly exposed and threatened by corrupt, foreign, hero-worshipping \u2018forED\u2019 structures, which undermine elected national, provincial and district leaders and are disrespectful to our traditional leaders,\u201d he charged.<\/p>\n

He said the \u201cforED dodgy groups\u201d had unlimited access to Mnangagwa and resources while the party structures remained unfunded.<\/p>\n

\u201cCde Mnangagwa must give the party a chance to choose between the future and the past, between hope and fear,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Kasukuwere said it was ironic that one of the issues raised to justify Mnangagwa\u2019s attack on the late Mugabe was that the latter was surrounded by criminals.<\/p>\n

\u201cIronically, the Gold Mafia expose\u0301, the arrest of public figures at the airport over gold smuggling, the lavish lifestyles of his family, some of whom have never worked a day in their lives, shows that persons very close to Cde Mnangagwa engage in various illicit businesses,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe allegations that his family and associates have preferential access to foreign currency at the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe have never been challenged or disproved.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is known that from Sandawana (Mberengwa) to Makaha (Mutoko) his family has taken over gold mining, including having shares in government companies.\u201d<\/p>\n

He said government was silent on diamond exports which are unaccounted for and that Mnangagwa\u2019s family had taken over imports distribution, and sale of fuel.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou are all aware that his family and associates are involved in almost all the multi-billion-dollar Belarus deals,\u201d Kasukuwere said.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou have seen the obscenity of their sudden wealth, yet they argued that President Mugabe was surrounded by criminals.<\/p>\n

\u201cDespite a ban on export of lithium, you are aware that persons surrounding Cde Mnangagwa are in possession of export permits and that they are exporting it without any money (going) to the Treasury.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe looting from the State must stop.\u201d<\/p>\n

He also said the reversal of the indigenisation process and landmark land reform process by returning vast tracts of land to farmers connected to Mnangagwa was another sign of the President\u2019s unpreparedness to respect the party structures and resolutions.<\/p>\n

\u201cSuch cardinal decisions and resolutions adopted at congress cannot be reversed at the whims and caprices of an individual no matter their designation,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cZanu PF is not his personal property.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt has become common cause that once gold and other precious minerals are discovered, the Mnangagwa associates and family move in to claim the deposits ahead of others.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kasukuwere said it was clear that the Zimbabwe dollar had lost value and continued on a free-fall.<\/p>\n

He said Zimbabweans were suffering while the Mnangagwa administration was trying to run the economy through propaganda.<\/p>\n

\u201cCde Mnangagwa selectively rewards the elite of the public service, yet the generality of the civil service is wallowing in abject poverty despite their spirited loyalty and patriotism,\u201d the Mugabe loyalist said.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo attempt has been made to explain why Cde Mnangagwa can buy over 800 campaign vehicles, but cannot provide ambulances, cancer machines at our referral hospitals.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis speaks to his indifference to the suffering of Zimbabweans.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kasukuwere called for the return to the values of the liberation struggle that included guaranteeing the \u201cright of our people to choose their own leaders\u201d \u2014 in and outside Zanu PF.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe respite our people felt politically, socially, and economically during the Government of National Unity period of 2009-13 should be a permanent experience borne out of an inclusive governance culture, ushered in by a generational consensus.<\/p>\n

\u201cZimbabweans must find each other through an Intra Zimbabwe Dialogue process beyond the politics of conquest predicated by our highly competitive and often toxic and disputed electoral politics,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Kasukuwere said he intended to lead or \u201cbe an integral part of this constructive engagement process beyond this bid for the highest office.\u201d<\/p>\n

He also called for the renewal of Zimbabwe\u2019s leadership while enshrining a new vision and aspirations to restore the country\u2019s glory.<\/p>\n

\u201cZimbabwe must take its place amongst the world\u2019s community of nations and as a responsible member of the international community.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe need to implement and uphold the Constitution and respect the rights of all citizens,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Calling for reconciliation, Kasukuwere said as Zimbabweans, we should \u201cput our past differences aside and embrace one another while acknowledging our failures and repair the damage that has been caused internally and externally\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe must ensure a united approach to combat the twin evils of sanctions and corruption,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Gukurahundi question requires a permanent resolution, and peaceful closure, as with other past conflicts in our history,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Kasukuwere also called for reforms of Zimbabwe\u2019s national institutions to deliver and benefit the majority in a transparent and accountable manner.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are called upon to strengthen institutions in line with the Constitution and in alignment with the Pan-African and international standards. Abuse of national institutions must stop,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Kasukuwere also said the time had come to revive Zimbabwe in an inclusive economic renaissance that incorporated all and left no one behind.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe must empower the majority to ensure that everyone plays their part as agents of development. Zimbabweans should be at the core of the exploitation of national resources and economic growth. Zimbabwe belongs to all of us,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Kasukuwere said Zimbabwe had a rich heritage of builders manifest in the ancient city of Great Zimbabwe.<\/p>\n

\u201cLet\u2019s ignite the full potential of Zimbabweans to participate in the infrastructural revolution that lies ahead of us,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Kasukuwere recently announced that he would be challenging Mnangagwa in the presidential race on August 23 this year.<\/p>\n

The exiled former Mt Darwin MP was also said to be canvassing for support from within the ruling party.<\/p>\n

Kasukuwere, a former Central Intelligence Organisation operative, rose to prominence after landing key posts in government and the ruling party.<\/p>\n

He served in the Zanu PF politburo and as a Cabinet minister before Zanu PF imploded at the height of the race to succeed Mugabe.<\/p>\n

He fled to exile after the coup, returned briefly in January 2018 where he was arrested on corruption charges, which were later dismissed by a Harare court and that saw him leaving the country again.<\/p>\n

In October 2020, government also sought Kasukuwere\u2019s extradition from South Africa after issuing a warrant for his arrest, which was dismissed as political interference by Interpol.<\/p>\n
