Harare – Zimbabwe’s ruling party on Tuesday accused the army chief of “treasonable conduct” after he challenged President Robert Mugabe over the sacking of the vice president, in the latest sign of worsening instability in the country.
The Zanu-PF party criticised General Constantino Chiwenga who had demanded that Mugabe stop purges of senior party figures, including vice president Emmerson Mnangagwa who was dismissed last week.
In a statement, the party spokesperson said Chiwenga’s stance was “clearly calculated to disturb national peace… and suggests treasonable conduct on his part as this was meant to incite insurrection”.
On Tuesday, several tanks were seen moving near the capital Harare, alarming residents as Chiwenga had warned of possible military intervention.
“When it comes to matters of protecting our revolution, the military will not hesitate to step in,” Chiwenga told a press conference on Monday.
The reason for the military convoys was not immediately clear, but the vehicles may have been on routine manoeuvres.
The military spokesperson was not available to comment.
Mnangagwa had clashed repeatedly with First Lady Grace Mugabe, 52, who was widely seen as vying with him to succeed her 93-year-old husband as president.
Johannesburg – ANC treasurer general Zweli Mkhize says it will do the ANC no good to go into its 54th national elective conference in December divided. Mkhize said those hoping to succeed President Jacob Zuma as ANC president needed to communicate a message of unity ahead of the event.
Mkhize, who was on News24’s Frontline on Tuesday, discussed a number of issues including the process of nominations of presidential candidates by members in ANC branch general meetings (BGMs), the hopes pinned on the looming elective conference and Zuma among many other issues.

He is one of seven ANC officials vying for the position of president in the party when Zuma steps down in just 4 weeks.
Mkhize’s name has not dominated BGMs as much as those of Deputy President Cyril Ramaphosa and former African Union Commission chairperson Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma, but this doesn’t seem to have dented his confidence in his “unity” campaign.
“The branches are going through nominations. We’ve opened ourselves up for nominations and must accept the nominations announced. We have to accept those nominations.”
He added that the results being reported on in the media did not matter as many branches and structures were still engaging each other over the leadership race and there was still an opportunity for nominations to continue once the conference kicks off.
“Ultimately they (branches) are going to guide who will be nominated right up until the conference where they nominate people on the floor,” said Mkhize.
‘I am prepared to lead’
He also told News24 that the presidential hopefuls were talking to one another.
“I know some kinds of discussions are going on in one way or another. I can’t speak for anybody but that’s the only way that is going to help the organisation.”
Mkhize said at some point leaders needed to declare whether they were prepared to lead or to be led.
“I am prepared to lead, to lead everyone, even those who contested against me. I am prepared to lead if I am elected as part of a collective, lead with others even if we have disagreements because we are part of the same organisation. I am prepared to be led by whomever will emerge; if you win and are the leader, we will follow you and support you. If you don’t emerge you must be prepared to follow and support the one who emerges,” he said explaining the different scenarios that some of the hopefuls would have to deal with in December.
“It’s not necessary for an organisation like the ANC to be defined by divisions and infighting,” said Mkhize.
He said while unity needed to be the defining phrase within the ANC, the party needed to be critical of wrongdoing and work for the benefit of South Africans at large.

BLOEMFONTEIN – A father and son appeared in the Bloemfontein Magistrate’s Court on Tuesday, for the attempted murder of two Free State police officers.
Colonel Thandi Mbambo said Kwini Isaac Budutu, 57, and Tshotleho Alfred Makhele, 27, were remanded in custody and their case postponed to November 28, for a formal bail application.
The two allegedly attacked Sergeant Mokone Moroane and Constable Pitso Bulane on Sunday, while the police officers were attending a case at Pampita farm where the complainant asked the police to intervene in the altercation between her and another lady.
“While [the officers were] talking to the complainant, Kwini appeared from nowhere and started insulting both police officers on the scene. They then tried to talk to him, but his son, Tshotleho hit Sergeant Moroane with the fist, and suddenly it became a big fight that included the community of Pampita. Then Kwini stabbed Sgt Moroane on the right-hand side of the back with a knife and Constable Bulane at the back.”
The police officer called for back-up and two men were arrested on the scene.
“Both police officers were then rushed to Rosepark hospital for medical attention.”

Johannesburg – Former Springbok coach Nick Mallett believes hosting the 2023 Rugby World Cup would be a “fantastic thing” for South Africa and the country would afford tourists from all over the world an incredible welcome.

Mallett, who is an analyst on SuperSport these days, said he was definitely behind South Africa’s bid when the voting process takes place on Wednesday to appoint the host of the showpiece tournament.
South Africa are up against France and Ireland, who have been doing a lot of last minute lobbying to try and change the minds of delegates.
Mallett said South Africans should be celebrating the fact that an independent committee rated its bid as the preferred one, a recommendation that should, given the transparency, give the bid an advantage at Wednesday’s vote.
“I think South Africans should all be celebrating the fact that we have come out on top of the initial selection process. We’re hoping like anything that all the other unions that vote, will take cognisance of the fact that an independent objective selection process put us out ahead of Ireland and France.
“That’s the first thing, but secondly from a South African perspective we’ve done big tournaments like this very well. We’ve hosted the 2010 Fifa World Cup, and obviously we did a magnificent 1995 tournament that was a very special event.
“We have the Lions coming out in 2021 and we will have the World Cup in 2023. Those are also a fantastic couple of occasions to look forward to.”
As a country, we are excellently positioned to produce an incredible Rugby World Cup in 2023. We have so many advantages. First of all, the Rand is generally weak against other currencies. For people coming to tour here it is a fantastic holiday.
“We have some of the most unbelievable places to visit, apart from rugby fields. We have beautiful beaches, beautiful mountains and beautiful game parks and I think the country warms to tourists when they come out here.
“Everyone was very happy about the Soccer World Cup and it is about time for us now to have another major event. I mean 1995, then 2010 and now 2023, there has been 10/15 years between each one and I think the country will rally round.”
“South Africa is a remarkable place as the 1995 World Cup, the 1996 African Cup of Nations and 2010 Fifa World Cup showed. The country hosted successful tournaments and was overcome by a magical feeling of unity as it showcased some of its best aspects to an adoring world audience.
“That is why Ireland and France are so disappointed at not getting it. They know what it would do for their country and how they can show off their country. Both would have gone out of their way to make people incredibly welcome there and there is no difference whatsoever in South Africa.
“I think that every touring side in history has always said it is one of the greatest tours you can go on – to South Africa. The people are just incredibly warm and welcoming. The Euro, Dollar, Pound and Yen are expensive currencies for South Africans so for those people to come here on holiday, it is much cheaper.”

Mallett praised Deputy President Cyril Ramaphosa and the Minister of Sport and Recreation Thulas Nxesi for their support and said it made a big difference for the bid presentation
“It goes without saying that sport needs the support of Government. What people have to understand is that the whole Mandela experience was a very powerful one. I was in London and it was the same time that we did our bid presentation along with France and Ireland.
“I was there the day after everyone had done their presentations. What was astounding was how impressive we were. Bill Beaumont said the most impressive person who presented out of everyone was Cyril Ramaphosa. I don’t think South Africans are aware of how much that matters to World Rugby. That the government is behind and supports the bid.
“That is probably one of the reasons we sneaked ahead of France and Ireland, just on the presentation, professionalism and on the fact he and our Minister of Sport made a visible support and contribution to the bid.”
Wednesday’s vote will take place as follows. The vote will be live on SuperSport from 14:30.
