Christopher Mutsvangwa vehemently criticizes Vice President Constantino Chiwenga, revealing their longstanding sibling rivalry rooted in historical family strife. Mutsvangwa aims to surpass Chiwenga politically due to feelings of jealousy and an obsession with reclaiming family honor, while Chiwenga continues to rise in political stature despite limited education. The tensions escalate as Mutsvangwa makes derogatory remarks about his brother’s qualifications and electability.
HARARE – Christopher Mutsvangwa, spokesperson for Zanu PF, openly criticizes Vice President Constantino Chiwenga, revealing their conflict extends beyond politics due to their familial ties. Sources indicate that Mutsvangwa’s political ambitions and longstanding family grievances exacerbate their animosity, with rivalry stemming from a historical family split.
Mutsvangwa’s grandfather and Chiwenga’s grandfather are said to have had a significant fallout that led to relocation and enduring family rifts. A source indicated that while one branch of the family remained in Wedza, the others dispersed, leading to a chronic sense of rivalry still felt today.
The source continues, noting that Mutsvangwa’s ambition is driven by a desire to reclaim the family’s past prestige and to surpass Chiwenga in status. Mutsvangwa openly seeks to validate his worth through education, military service, and ultimately the presidency, as Chiwenga ascends despite having limited educational credentials.
Recently, Mutsvangwa has intensified his attacks on Chiwenga, labeling him as illiterate and unelectable. However, supporters of Chiwenga highlight Mutsvangwa’s poor electoral performance as a significant barrier to his presidential aspirations, emphasizing that ambitions alone do not equate to success in politics.
The fierce rivalry between Christopher Mutsvangwa and Vice President Constantino Chiwenga highlights the intersection of personal history and political ambition within Zimbabwe’s Zanu PF. As grievances from their lineage fuel contemporary conflicts, Mutsvangwa’s recent comments incite deeper tensions. Ultimately, Mutsvangwa’s dreams of the presidency may remain unattainable in a landscape where electoral performance weighs heavily against him.
