Let this serve as a reminder to another arrogant political performer:
Attacking me through proxies and hired political urchins will not earn you legitimacy. This recent wave of unprovoked, misguided activism organizing clandestine kangaroo meetings in direct defiance of party discipline, spewing division, and grandstanding as if you are the sole miracle to ZANU PF and the President is nothing short of political suicide.
To ferry people across provinces to listen to your hollow, ideologically bankrupt, and garrulous monologues is a new low, even for you.
It is even more pathetic when you target proven comrades who sacrificed for the 2018 and 2023 victories campaigns you were conspicuously absent from, both on the ballot and in the trenches. The Second Republic was built by the sweat and unity of known, dedicated cadres and leaders. Your whereabouts during those defining moments remain unexplained a ghost in our own history.
Now, instead of using your appointed role to demonstrate humble service, you demand gun salutes, red carpets, and audaciously create a false equivalence with His Excellency the President. You intimidate those who question your juvenile political theatrics as if dissenting against you is dissenting against the Principal.
Let me be direct. Unlike you—who hides behind ghost accounts and hired social media martyrs—I remain TAFADZWA MUGWADI. I do not and will never worship your comic, theatrical performances. Your threats are not news to me.
You are not the standard for Presidential appointees. We have Politburo members, Ministers, Permanent Secretaries, Ambassadors, and commanders all senior appointees of His Excellency who are held accountable in Parliament and other forums without incessantly name-dropping the President to cover their tracks.
Make no mistake, Tungwarara: you are nowhere near the President’s equivalence to issue veiled threats against party deployees. Who do you think you are?
I am a politician, a lawyer, and a political scientist by training not a prayer warrior. If you challenge me, I will respond politically, not spiritually. What we endured before 2017 is known to the President. Our loyalty is known to him—not certified by you, mwana wevhu.
We voted and fought in your absence. Now you expect seasoned leaders to tremble at your sight? Ah, no, mwana. If you’re testing the waters, know that I am ready. By whose authority do you threaten ZANU PF members with expulsion?
You should first be enrolled at the Chitepo School of Ideology before you chase a microphone to vomit such garbage. I served diligently as the Party’s Director of Information and Publicity before my redeployment to Parliament a role granted on the basis of trust and reliability to the Principal.
And now here you are a serial name-dropper imagining yourself as the President’s incarnation in Manicaland? No. Step aside, Mr. John-come-lately especially from my path.
My politics is pound for pound, measure for measure. Bring whatever you have. I am no prophet nor a prophet’s son I am a politician, and I answer in kind.
