Kasukuwere accused of staging Mudzidzi Wimbo's "abduction" to use prophet to succeed Mugabe

Zanu-PF national political commissar Saviour Kasukuwere has been accused of being the brains behind the “abduction” of Mudzidzi Wimbo (Mr Aaron Mhukuta) of the Vadzidzi VaJeso church after the cleric refused to make a false prophecy that Kasukuwere would succeed President Robert Mugabe.

Speaking to The Herald, one of Wimbo’s sons, Mr Zvadashe Gomo, said Kasukuwere, working with Ishmael Magodi (national leader), Shephard Chingwena (secretary-general), Zex Pamacheche (first committee member) and Edison Mukohwa (second committee member), was fabricating claims that his father was kidnapped by four of his assistants. Said Gomo:

I want to make it very clear that my father was never kidnapped as alleged in the private media. Everyone else knows that my father made a prophecy in 1957 predicting that President Mugabe will be the first black President of an independent Zimbabwe. Now, Cde Kasukuwere, working with some of my brothers and his Zanu-PF loyalists, wants to force my father to go back to that home and make a false prophecy anointing him as the next President. They know that Mudzidzi Wimbo is well respected, and they now want to take advantage of his advanced age to fulfil their political ambitions. They are the ones who are behind the stories claiming that Mudzidzi Wimbo was kidnapped, which are not true.
