Chris Mutsvangwa Blames Chiwenga For Son's Arrest, Absolves Mnangagwa

ZANU PF spokesperson Christopher Mutsvangwa has intimated that Vice President Constantino Chiwenga was to blame for his son’s arrest last week.

Mutsvangwa’s son, Neville, was arrested on Wednesday and subsequently appeared in court on Friday, 10 May, facing one count of contravening section 5(1)(a)(ii) of the Exchange Control Act [Chapter 22:05] as read with section 4(1)(a)(1) of the Exchange Control Regulations SI 109 of 1996 “Dealing in foreign currency”, one count of contravening the Bank Use Promotion and Suppression of Money Laundering Act and another count of contravening the Money Laundering and Proceeds of Crime Act, and contravening the Postal and Telecommunication Act.

In an interview with The Standard, as cited by ZimLive, Mutsvangwa did not name Chiwenga but left enough clues about the target of his attack.

He questioned Chiwenga’s liberation war credentials while insisting on his 44-year-old son’s innocence.

Mutsvangwa claimed that his son’s arrest was the work of adversaries who were “trying to abuse the judiciary system, hoping that I can have an attitude against the state.”

Last week, Mutsvangwa’s wife, the Minister of Women’s Affairs, Community, Small and Medium Enterprises Development Monica Mutsvangwa, claimed her son’s arrest was politically motivated.

Mutsvangwa also said he had “established beyond any doubt” that Mnangagwa had not instigated the arrest. He added:

… so it is somebody else who thinks that he is wearing the shoes of the head of state to manipulate the relationship between me and the president.

You know, the gate to power according to the Constitution is through an election, not through games and shenanigans and subterfuge… I don’t answer to ambitious individuals.

His mention of “ambitious individuals” has been interpreted as a reference to Chiwenga’s reported ambitions to lead ZANU PF and become the country’s next leader when Mnangagwa’s second and final term ends in 2028.

Mutsvangwa also claimed his relationship with Mnangagwa was close, saying he was one of Mnangagwa’s “pioneer recruits to his office of personal assistant” at the age of 22 in 1978. He said:

I was already working with the president. I think that proximity to him, my proximity to the president, they think through their post-independence proximity to the president they can influence him against me, or me against him.

It’s an impossibly long shot for the power ambitious ever to think they can drive a wedge into such a long, strong and revolutionary acquaintance between me and the president.

Persecuting my son as a carrot and stick to that nefarious enterprise will never yield the much-craved outcome.

However, according to self-exiled former cabinet minister Walter Mzembi, no political or high-profile arrest happens in Zimbabwe unless they are authorised by the President. He wrote on X (formerly Twitter):

No political or high-profile arrests in Zimbabwe happen unless authorised by the President. This is from Mugabe’s time to his successor. Get it from me, I speak with the authority of a victim and former Minister.

A Vice President unless Acting President cannot authorise the arrest of anyone, even as Acting unless he is of a sovereign & strong mind will consult the President on the phone.

The President will also never admit that he plays this nefarious role, in public, to his direct or indirect victims nor to enquiring relatives or the public. The standard answer has always been ” Handisini, handizvizivi”.

Of course, it’s never him. That is the correct and standardized constitutional answer. Does any sane mind expect him to?

Neville’s arrest came after the Government vowed to eradicate the illegal trade in currencies as it tries to shore up its new currency, the ZiG.

Mutsvangwa and his co-accused Ellis Majachani and Simbarashe Tichingana appeared before Harare magistrate Dennis Mangosi on Friday, 10 May. Their bail hearing was pushed to Monday, 13 May.

Chris acknowledges there’s persecution of citizen in Zimbabwe? She appeared to have been convinced that his arrest (and presumably denial of bail by the courts) was all part of a carefully crafted political persecution plot. Her son is currently incarcerated, awaiting his bail application, for alleged illegally trading in foreign currency, as well as facilitating services of a yet-to-be-licensed internet service provider, Starlink, When I listened to the viral audio recording, I found myself thinking: Oh, so these people in the ruling elite actually acknowledge there is political persecution in Zimbabwe! That is very interesting! When opposition activists Job Sikhala, Jacob Ngarivhume, amongst others were arrested and jailed on spurious charges, most of us cried ‘political persecution’. In fact, we were so specific in pointing to what is now termed the ‘weaponization of the law’ as the chief tool of political persecution in Zimbabwe. This is when the country’s law enforcement and judiciary are abused to settle political scores or punish perceived political opponents. It is also referred to as ‘lawfare’. Opponents are arrested and charged with various usually nonsensical crimes, after which our courts send them to prison either by denying them their constitutional right to bail or actually finding them guilty. This is exactly what we witnessed in utter shock with Sikhala and Ngarivhume. The former languished in remand prison for nearly 600 days after being repeatedly denied bail, whilst the latter was sentenced to four years in the absence of any prima facie evidence. Fortunately, Ngarivhume’s politically motivated conviction and sentence were eventually overturned by the High Court after appeal – although he had already spent eight months behind bars. In the midst of intense public outrage against this undoubted political persecution, the Zimbabwe regime was at pains distancing itself from these cases. We even had President Emmerson Dambudzo Mnangagwa smugly commenting that he never instructs the judiciary on what to do – as the country’s justice system was independent. As a matter of fact, Monica Mutsvangwa (while still Information Minister) justified the obvious politically motivated arrest of Ngarivhume and journalist Hopewell Chin’ono in 2020. This was after the two had urged Zimbabweans to peacefully demonstrate, on 31 July 2020, against rampant corruption and oppression in the country. Actually, Chin’ono had, at the time, been at the forefront of exposing massive high profile corruption in the procurement of COVID-19 PPEs (personal protective equipment) allegedly between the government of Zimbabwe and Dax International. The company was represented in the country by Delish Nguwaya, who was said to be a close associate of the country’s ‘first family’. Mutsvangwa never interpreted these arrests as political persecution, particularly through the weaponization of the law, but rather the wheels of justice turning. So, what has changed now, Monica? Are the same wheels of justice – which arrested, repeatedly denied bail to perceived opponents, and even finding them guilty – not supposed to turn in regards to her beloved son, Neville? Are the police and our courts suddenly no longer independent simply because her son is now at the receiving end? Since she alleges ‘political persecution’ who does she believe is behind Neville’s arrest? In fact, who has enough influence in the country to order the police and judiciary to ostensibly persecute the son of a cabinet minister, as well as the ruling ZANU PF party spokesman (Christopher Mutsvangwa)? If this is indeed ‘political persecution’, so can Monica and even her motormouth husband finally acknowledge that Sikhala, Ngarivhume, Chin’ono, and many others were similarly persecuted? Are these two willing to retract their statements uttered over the years, whereby they denied any judicial capture and the use of lawfare against opponents? As a matter of fact, all those in the ruling elite acknowledge there has always been the abuse of our justice delivery system in Zimbabwe to settle political scores. Why did Mnangagwa flee the country – to the extent of crossing the border into South Africa illegally – soon after being sacked from the vice presidency by then leader Robert Gabriel Mugabe in early November 2017? He only had the guts to return after being certain Mugabe had been removed from power through a military coup d’état. What was he so terrified of? The same applies to former ZANU PF top officials Jonathan Moyo, as well as Saviour Kasukuwere and his sidekick Walter Mzembi. Where are they now? Are they not holed up in Kenya and South Africa? In fear of what? If there was genuinely no persecution in Zimbabwe, would these high-ranking officials have fled the country after their political fortunes had turned? What is even more curious is that these were not opposition activists but ZANU PF senior members – yet compelled to run for their lives in fear of their own. No one can deny that there is little democracy in Zimbabwe – where the justice delivery system is compromised and can be abused to settle political scores. Therefore, the next time those in power deny the arrest and jailing of opponents as political persecution, they will clearly be lying. They all know the truth…and they can easily also become the next victims. Just ask Monica and Christopher! *Tendai Ruben Mbofana*

Mukoma Chris, all the usual verbosity and pomposity is gone. I don't see it here. I agree with you. Your son is innocent. The VP is the one who is guilty. The VP dumped all the equipment and stuff that was found in your son's possession at your son's house. He is the one who opened all those local and foreign bank accounts. The VP is actually the one who runs those bank accounts and is the sole signatory. Where does young Neville come in?
