President Emmerson Mnangagwa is reportedly set to visit the United Kingdom soon, a development that has set immense joy in the ruling ZANU PF party.
Zimbabwe’s leaders have not been able to travel freely to Britain and a number of European Union (EU) countries in years after the West imposed travel restrictions against senior government leaders over Harare bad human rights record.
ZANU PF Politburo member and former presidential advisor Chris Mutsvangwa also confirmed the visit.
The war veterans leader said Mnangagwa’s visit to the UK would break a decades-old jinx adding the proposed visit had riled former ZANU PF ministers who were members of the vanquished G40 faction. He said:
Now EDM (Emmerson Dambudzo Mnangagwa), their (G40) nemesis will likely fly to London soon.
G40 elements peeved by the progress being made by the Second Republic through its resounding successful engagement have taken to Twitter in an act of cowardice and desperation.
Jonathan Moyo is bereft of both attention and readership on his social media account. Addicted to the limelight, he then clones my name and imposts.
It is a despicable act of cowardice and irrelevance for a G40 pundit whose lifelong desire for apex power in Zimbabwe fell a thundering thud in November 2017, Operation Restore Legacy.
Now EDM, their nemesis will likely fly to London soon. The three-decade jinx in diplomatic relations between Harare and London is set to break as to usher a new epoch of bonhomie. With Jonathan Moyo in this hour when the Taliban is back in Kabul.
Fawning acolytes of misguided perfidy are licking wounds of unrewarding treachery against their own people and home country. Lonely exile has exacted its painful price.
