This video has gone viral on social media because of what it is communicating. Zimbabwean businessman Kuda Tagwirei is very intentional. The video was released to show Chiwenga’s faction—and Zimbabweans at large—just how close Tagwirei is to President Emmerson Mnangagwa, following ZANUPF spokesman Chris Mutsvangwa’s public dressing down of Tagwirei at a press conference this week. Mnangagwa has three plans in place; Kuda Tagwirei takes over—not his deputy, General Constantino Chiwenga; or Mnangagwa secures a term extension and dies in office; or a dark horse—the foreign minister—steps in to block Chiwenga. General Chiwenga is not going to take over as president of Zimbabwe unless he fights back with the help of the army. After Mutsvangwa’s dismissal of Tagwirei, this was meant to show people in ZANUPF and others that they are trying to stop what, according to Mnangagwa’s camp, is unstoppable. In Mnangagwa’s Zimbabwe, power is not transferred—it is either inherited (Tagwirei or the foreign minister), extended (for himself, Mnangagwa), or taken by force (the only route for Chiwenga). Now to the trending issue from this video on social media; This video lays bare Kuda Tagwirei’s unsettling proximity to the president. When a notoriously corrupt businessman like Tagwirei is seen playing golf with the president—another man deeply tainted by corruption—it is not just a golf game. It is a brazen public obscene theatre of power. But when Tagwirei goes on to pet the president in front of the cameras, like a boy showing off his closeness to his uncle, it becomes something more politically disturbing. This is not the behaviour of a future statesman since Tagwirei wants to be President too. It is the behaviour of a man drunk on proximity to power; trying to project dominance through forced intimacy. It is undignified. It is unpresidential. It reveals not strength, but a desperate need to be seen as powerful by association with Mnangagwa. When Mnangagwa allows Tagwirei to publicly pet him like a favoured uncle, it reveals a startling lack of boundaries between the head of state and a corrupt businessman. We know they are both corrupt, but Mnangagwa occupies the highest office in the land of Zimbabwe. This is not mere familiarity; it is symbolic. It shows the world and particularly Zimbabweans that Mnangagwa no longer sees the presidency as an institution that must maintain distance, dignity, and authority. Instead, he is comfortable being treated casually as in this video, almost submissively, by someone who has gained immense wealth through state-connected tenders and corrupt deals. It signals that Tagwirei is not just close to Mnangagwa; but that he is thoroughly embedded in the system and powerful enough to blur the lines between private capital and state power. For Mnangagwa to publicly tolerate such behaviour is to admit, knowingly or not, that the presidency has been personalised and compromised and commands no respect in the eyes of the ordinary citizens. Chafumuka, or as Temba Mliswa once said; Chaora!! There are many presidents I talk to and can call at any time of the day and hug them when we meet at public gatherings, but I do not do that because I must respect the office they hold. We joke about things privately, but publicly I would never display unbridled familiarity. Doing so shows a lack of sophistication and a poor understanding of statecraft. What we have seen today is not leadership. This is a regime trying to turn cronyism into currency; and hoping the people are too tired or too scared to notice and talk about it. It is embarrassing, and that is why it is the talk of the town in Harare’s diplomatic circles tonight. They are laughing at us—not just at Mnangagwa and Tagwirei, but at the sheer lack of decorum!
