It is not surprising that the language used by both Mwonzora and Mnangagwa finds commonality in the notion of “responsible opposition”. Arguably, Mnangagwa and ZANU PF also see themselves as a “responsible ruling party”.

Mnangagwa is using coercion and cooptation
There will be a great facade of “working together” with the coopted faction
There will be no reforms without sustained political pressure

The comments on this post are weird. People are saying the judiciary is captured so it gives every reason for Chiwengwa as the prime witnes not to attend the courts.
Who captured the courts if not the governmen?
Why was he not issued warrant of arrest?
Is he above the law?
By my brother coubsel, the VP is probably the most crucial witness.
He is alleged to have sensationally banged the table & walked out of the court clearly in contempt of court while Senior Counsel Beatrice Mtetwa was in the middle of cross examining him.
He is also alleged to never have returned & to be the one who was holding the proceedings hostage.
If true, we must call a spade a spade my brother. A VP must respect the Judiciary & it's processes, including us, as Officers of the Court when we are executing our duties.
It would appear that he is the one that's responsible for collapsing proceedings in a case that he was the primary witness / complainant.
It's difficult to come to any other conclusion other than that he believes that he is above the Constitution.
If he's behaving in this manner now when he's still a VP, one shudders to think how is likely to behave if he ever assumes the reigns of power.
And can we spare a thought for the harrowing experience Marry has gone through?
She's now one legged, one armed & hasn't seen her own children in 7 years!!! What kind of country are we?
For me, this has got nothing to do with politics. We must focus on our conscience & sense of humanity in this context. This is very damaging for Chiwenga!

Dear Zimbabweans 🇿🇼🇿🇼 and Kenyans 🇰🇪🇰🇪, let me tell you the truth no politician will tell you: you are on your own.
When Wicknell Chivayo's helicopter went down in Marondera on 30 September 2026, presidents typed condolences in less than 24 hours. William Ruto called him "my dear friend" and wrote paragraphs about his warmth and energy.
Mnangagwa's government confirmed and mourned the high-profile businessman before his body was even identified.
But when the Mbuya Nehanda ferry capsized on Lake Kariba on 11 August 2026 and killed 97 people—18 of them children, mothers going to Chalala with food—there was silence.
No hurry. No, "dear friend." That ferry had one working engine and a broken bilge pump; 153 people squeezed into a 90-seater boat. The state knew. The state sent them to die anyway. Mnangagwa only declared a state of disaster after the bodies were counted.
Now look at Eastleigh, Nairobi, 23 October 2026. An 18-storey building that was never approved collapses on 9th Street on top of shops. Workers inside. Traders inside. Seven people are still missing this morning.
And as of this morning, President Ruto—the same man who could write a love letter for Wicknell in hours—has not issued a personal public statement. It is CS Murkomen and Governor Sakaja left to manage dust and blood.
This is the pattern. When money dies, they mourn. When poor people die, they investigate. When a businessman dies, they call him family. When you die in a ferry, in a collapsed building, or on a bad road, you are a statistic.
In Zimbabwe they will tell you about Vision 2030. In Kenya they will tell you about housing projects. But who is housing you? Who is protecting you?
Nobody is coming to save you. Lazarus will have to walk out of the grave by himself...Indeed we need new leaders🇰🇪🇿🇼!
He asked questions to his fellow party members that no one will never answer.
Expecting change from ZANU-PF factions is same as supporting the November 2017 coup.

I don't get it why do people still believe ZANU-PF factions will liberate Zimbabwe? A factional shift is just a reshuffle of the status quo, not liberation.
