Zimbabwean President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s push for a life presidency was this week endorsed by the Zanu-PF youth league ahead of the party’s national conference.

Addressing journalists in Harare, the youth league’s acting deputy secretary Tendai Chirau said they will push for a constitutional amendment to remove presidential term limits so that Mnangagwa, 79, stays in power as long as he needs to.

Legally, if Mnangagwa represents Zanu-PF in the 2023 presidential polls and wins, it will be his last term in office. However, despite publicly denying their rift, the two through proxies have been battling for control of Zanu-PF. Mnangagwa reassigned military personnel deemed loyal to Chiwenga through retirements and diplomatic posts abroad.

Yet Zimbos are out here telling how to run our country lol

Let them do their nonsense there in their zimbombo, I don't care.

They will turn around and blame South Africa when things don't work out

There’s no place for lifetime presidencies in Africa. That’s just retrogressive and I doubt that the ZANU-PF youth speaks for the entire Zimbabwean youth. African presidents must learn to retire in peace and give others a chance.

Predictable 'bs' by shameless, bloodthirsty & corrupt hyenas. Africa is BADLY & INCOMPENTLY led. Tragic!

Zimbabwe lives in poverty created by this dictatorship

it has to be in Africa. Even Cyril can easily be life President if he wants. With the current youth we have!

Drunk on power and still wanting to drink more. Why should anyone in their right minds take Sadec seriously?

These youths should be drugies

There is no opposition in Zimbabwe all members of MDC are here in South Africa

SandileMadonse I tink its gud move ,de like it

But here Zimbabweans they're taking RSA to court as they want permanent residency It is time to speak truth to this human right's people to say people must go home an fix their countries PutSouthAficansFirst

Another Mugabe..... what is it with Africans and presidency for life scenarios!🤔

Mugabe 2.0

And we are silent about this down south?

Yet another typical African dictator. Is there any hope for this promising continent with so much untapped potential?

Also known as a Dictatorship.

Zimbabweans.. Clarion call.. Your country needs you now more than ever..

No endorsement he is the same Mugabe

By the way, they are referring to 60 something old as Youth in Zanu-PF, while we refer 30 something old as MK Veterans..

Cyril must do that as well

Mugabe v 2.0

Deport all illegal foreigners!!! You will reduce crime by 80%!!! PutSouthAficansFirst

This can only mean lifetime of poverty for the people of Zimbabwe 😢

Does this mean Nelson Chamisa will wait until Mnanganwa passes on for him to run for Presidency? 😳😳😳

Where is the army which 'put an end' to dictatorship?

Those youth leaders are the ones benefiting

🍌 republic tendencies...

Another Mugabe in the making

Dictator tendencies

Meanwhile his fellow country men are in South Africa demanding citizenship,lifetime Presidency endorsed by the youth whose future is being wasted by the same leader they're endorsing.

And one wonders why zimbabwe keeps going backwards and backwards mxm!

Africa is cursed

💔

Life president yho!
