*I Was Fooled Into Believing Mnangagwa Will Bring Change - Tsenengamu* *Follow Pindula on WhatsApp for daily new updates* https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029Va84dngJP21B2nWeyM3v?pb Former ZANU PF Youth League Political Commissar Godfrey Tsenengamu said that President Emmerson Mnangagwa has disappointed millions of Zimbabweans and other individuals who risked their lives in supporting his bid to succeed the late former President Robert Mugabe. Mnangagwa took over from Mugabe following the 17 November 2017 military coup that ousted the latter following bitter factionalism within ZANU PF. ---------- Latest itel S24 available on Pindula: 128GB storage, 4GB RAM $119 USD WhatsApp: +263715068543 Calls: 0772464000 Buy Online: https://www.pindula.co.zw/market/itel-s24-128gb-22-20240426142756795795/?s=wanews ---------- Tsengengamu made the remarks while speaking during an interview with Alpha Media Holdings chairman Trevor Ncube on the platform In Conversation with Trevor. He said he believed Mnangagwa was a national leader capable of eradicating high-profile corruption in the country. Said Tsenengamu: > I was clear from the time Mai (Joice) Mujuru went down saying I think the one who is going to be the next president was Emmerson Mnangagwa and it was taboo to say that. > Where I was coming from in Mashonaland Central there were a lot of fights that were going on within ZANU PF, the maZezurus versus the Karangas, so naturally I was not expected to be siding with the Zezurus. > When I was looking at Mnangagwa, I was not seeing a Karanga. I was seeing somebody with the potential to become a national leader, so I did not subscribe to this notion of tribal supremacy as it was happening in ZANU PF. > I got myself suspended because I had used the church platform to bring Mnangagwa at Gora to the late VaWimbo. > By then the provincial gurus had said Mnangagwa should not come to Mashonaland Central. > I thought that Mnangagwa deserved to be given a chance to prove what he had said that he was a better leader and I was looking at him as somebody who was very loyal for some time to the then President Robert Mugabe and I thought that he had learned a number of things from the way Mugabe did his things, what he did right and what he did wrong. > I also thought that maybe he was going to be the bridge between the old madhalas (guard) and the young people coming as a transitional leader. > In my mind, I would say that if Mugabe steps down, Mnangagwa would come in and after him, I had two options between Saviour Kasukuwere and Walter Mzembi. Tsenengamu, who now leads the Front for Economic Emancipation of Zimbabwe (FEEZ), added: > From our engagements pre-November 2017, he would appear like someone who was sincere and when he got into power I expected that he was going to keep his word, he was going to do as we had been discussing before he got into power. > When I realised that this was not happening, at first I thought that those who were around him were the problem, but I said, no we are going into the same trap or scenario as we did with Mugabe when we thought that he himself was okay, only those who were surrounding him were the problem. > But I said no, these people who are surrounding Mnangagwa did not come from heaven, he appointed them and he is comfortable working with them, he is pushing through his agenda and whatever that he seeks to do through them. Tsenengamu launched the FEEZ party in 2021, a year after he was suspended by ZANU PF alongside the party’s then youth secretary Lewis Matutu for indiscipline in 2020. The duo had accused ZANU PF benefactors Kuda Tagwirei, Tafadzwa Musarara and Billy Rautenbach of having captured State institutions. Mnangagwa and his family were recently implicated in gold smuggling and money laundering by Al Jazeera, in a documentary called “Gold Mafia”.
