The Spokesperson for Zimbabwe’s National Liberation War Veterans Association (ZNLWVA) Douglas Mahiya has warned that they will do everything within their powers to stop beleaguered President Robert Mugabe from creating a dynasty.
The group on Sunday threatened to sack Mr Mugabe if the military fails to kick him out of office.
According to him, they will resist attempts by the President to make his wife Grace Mugabe a successor to the presidency.
The Association has been embarking on sit down demonstration asking the President to bow out.
The military last week took over power after the President ousted the Vice President Emmerson Mnangagwa and made his wife the Vice.
Speaking on Ultimate Breakfast Show hosted by Lantam Papanko, Mr Mahiya explained that they are fighting in the interests of the citizens who have had enough of Mugabe’s ruling.
He lashed out at Mugabe for mismanaging Zimbabwean economy adding that the 93-year old President has failed the idealogies on which he became a President.
He said the ousted Vice President who is acquainted with the democratic system of Zimbabwe is the best person for the country.
‘We are moblising all our people from the communities to Harare because the impeachment is on at the Parliament house of Zimbabwe tomorrow Tuesday. All the people will be gathered outside to ensure that the legislators start the processes. Failure which the people will be forced to go to State House to bring these things to its finality.
‘…We are fighting for the interests of the citizens, Mugabe failed to fulfil principles of the war we fought,… he failed to manage the economy, the economy of Zimbabwe has gone down such that people find it difficult to buy, this is not what we expected, we expected our economy to be sound and benefit its people… We are protesting because we have discovered that Mugabe wants to create a dynasty, but we will not allow him. People will be subjects if dynasty is created,’ he explained.
He discounted claims that Emmerson will create a dynasty when he takes over power.
The Spokesperson for ZNLWVA dispelled rumours that some unseen western hands (imperialists) are behind the impeachment of Mugabe.
‘No Western hands is behind the impeachment of Mugabe, not that I know of,’ he said.
The ousted Vice President is now the leader of the ruling party Zanu-PF.
Majority of African countries have created dynasties where some Presidents have succeeded their fathers, wives or husbands. Some of the dynasties were borne out of coups, rebellions or assassinations.
