Mliswa Claims Senior Military Officials Met Over Political Disputes
Former Norton legislator Themba Mliswa has alleged that a clandestine gathering involving several high-ranking military officials took place recently, during which he was reportedly a focal point of discussion. According to Mliswa, the meeting was followed by a visit to the residence of Vice President Constantino Chiwenga.
Mliswa suggested that the alleged meeting was driven by dissatisfaction with his continued public criticism of what he describes as misconduct, abuse of office, and dereliction of duty attributed to the Vice President. He further claimed awareness of additional covert political meetings involving military personnel.
At the time of publication, no official confirmation has been issued by the Zimbabwe Defence Forces or the Office of the Vice President regarding the alleged gathering. The claims remain statements made by Mliswa and have not been independently verified through official documentation.
Mliswa emphasized that the Vice President, now serving in a political capacity, is subject to public scrutiny like any other public official. He argued that political accountability and adherence to party discipline are fundamental to governance and internal party stability.
The remarks come amid broader internal debates within political circles, particularly surrounding party resolutions and questions of leadership direction. Analysts caution that allegations involving military institutions carry serious constitutional implications and require careful verification.
