September 29, 2025 – Zimbabwe’s political scene is ablaze with a scandal so juicy it’s got the whole nation glued to their screens. Temba Mliswa, the former Norton MP known for his no-holds-barred style, has unleashed a firestorm on X, accusing Vice President Constantino Chiwenga – the military strongman behind the 2017 Mugabe ouster – of pocketing millions from tender tycoon Wicknell Chivayo. But here’s the twist: Mliswa says Chiwenga’s high-profile anti-corruption crusade isn’t about justice – it’s a personal vendetta because Chivayo allegedly failed to pay up on a $450,000 apartment deal for the VP’s kids. With over 300,000 views on X in just 48 hours, these claims are viral dynamite. If Mliswa’s lying, Chiwenga needs to sue him yesterday to clear his name. If not? Zimbabwe’s power elite might be in for a reckoning.The Allegations: Cash, Cars, and a Honeymoon HustleMliswa didn’t come to play. In a series of X posts that read like a political thriller, he laid out a jaw-dropping list of alleged payouts from Chivayo to Chiwenga:
These aren’t whispers in a Harare bar – they’re public accusations from a ZANU-PF insider with a history of flipping sides. Mliswa’s posts promise “more episodes” if Chiwenga doesn’t respond or resign, and the internet is eating it up.The Stakes: ZANU-PF’s Power Struggle Goes NuclearThis isn’t just gossip; it’s a seismic crack in ZANU-PF’s foundation. Chiwenga, the coup architect turned VP, has been locking horns with President Emmerson Mnangagwa over “party capture” by tycoons like Chivayo, who’s infamous for the $173 million Gwanda Solar Project flop and splashing cash on cars for celebrities and loyalists. At a tense State House showdown, Chiwenga reportedly snapped at Mnangagwa: “We see Wicknell Chivayo holding your cellphones – carrying all our secrets.” Mnangagwa’s defense of his “friends” only widened the rift.Mliswa’s timing is suspect. Critics like Blessed Geza accuse him of being a Mnangagwa mouthpiece, paid to smear Chiwenga and protect the cartel. His track record doesn’t help – one day he’s cheering Chiwenga’s anti-graft stance, the next he’s calling it a sham. As one X user quipped, “Temba’s a political chameleon – where’s the loyalty?”For Zimbabweans, this is more than elite drama. With inflation at 500%, power cuts stretching 18 hours, and youth unemployment over 80%, the idea of leaders squabbling over millions while the nation starves is a gut punch. If Chiwenga took the cash, his anti-corruption halo is shattered. If Mliswa’s lying, he’s weaponizing slander to shield the real crooks.The Ultimatum: Chiwenga, Sue or Step Aside!Chiwenga’s no stranger to lawsuits. He’s hauled journalists like Hopewell Chin’ono to court over less. So why the silence now? If Mliswa’s claims are false, Chiwenga has every reason to drag him to court and expose the lies. A defamation suit could:
Mliswa’s doubling down, teasing “four more episodes” of dirt. If Chiwenga doesn’t act, he risks looking guilty – or weak. Either way, the public’s watching. #SueMliswa is trending with over 75,000 posts, and diaspora groups are amplifying the call for justice. ZimEye called it “explosive”; NewZimbabwe labeled Mliswa’s dare a “sarcastic plea.”Why This Matters – And Why You Should CareThis isn’t just a ZANU-PF soap opera; it’s a litmus test for Zimbabwe’s future. Chivayo’s unchecked wealth, Chiwenga’s moral posturing, Mliswa’s flip-flopping – it’s all a symptom of a system where power trumps principle. As one analyst put it, “We’re spectators to our own looting.” But X is changing the game, giving ordinary Zimbabweans a voice to demand answers.So, General Chiwenga, what’s it gonna be? Sue Temba Mliswa and prove him wrong, or step down if there’s truth to the claims. Zimbabwe’s watching. Share this if you’re tired of the lies and ready for accountability. Drop your thoughts below – is Mliswa a truth-teller or a hired gun? Let’s get #SueMliswa trending worldwide.Stay tuned for updates. Zimbabwe deserves the truth – let’s demand it now.
