Zanu-PF Succession Disputes

Zanu-PF’s internal succession battles raised concerns about Zimbabwe’s stability. Reports said President Emmerson Mnangagwa seeks to extend his rule beyond constitutional limits, sparking a rift with Vice President Constantino Chiwenga. Allegations of corruption, purges, and shifting alliances have intensified the conflict. Analysts and civil society groups warned that prolonged infighting could stall economic growth, disrupt social life, and risk a return to crises seen in 2008 and 2017.
