Source: Tagwirei splurges $21 million on Zanu PF vehicles amid state capture storm – Zimbabwe News NowHARARE – Petroleum tycoon Kudakwashe Tagwirei has splashed out more than US$21 million on vehicles for Zanu PF’s central committee members, reigniting uproar over his alleged capture of the ruling party and deepening internal divisions over succession.
Tagwirei’s earlier attempt to make the donation had been blocked by senior Zanu PF figures, including Vice President Constantino Chiwenga and secretary general Obert Mpofu.
A compromise has now been struck: the vehicles will be registered as Zanu PF assets, giving Mpofu authority to recall them should disputes arise.
The confrontation has widened rifts in Zanu PF, where speculation is rife about who will succeed Mnangagwa, now 83.
Mnangagwa, addressing central committee members on Friday, told them: “You are representing your province.
