*Chamisa Survives Mnangagwa Covid Assassination Plot – ZimEye* https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029VaLeCqqFCCoeBnaiF743 *Saturday 15 February 2025* *______________________________* Opposition politician Nelson Chamisa narrowly escaped an assassination attempt orchestrated by Zimbabwe’s ruling ZANU PF during the COVID-19 pandemic. Zimbabwe’s Central Intelligence Organisation (CIO) devised a plan in 2020 to eliminate Chamisa and frame his death as a consequence of the coronavirus. Chamisa, who contested the 2018 presidential election and lost narrowly to President Emmerson Mnangagwa, was reportedly identified as the primary threat to ZANU PF’s continued dominance. The plan was, however, thwarted by internal resistance within the CIO. Chamisa was not the only high-profile figure targeted during this period. Several military generals who played key roles in the 2017 coup that ousted longtime ruler Robert Mugabe and installed Mnangagwa also died under mysterious circumstances, particularly during the COVID-19 crisis. These deaths fueled speculation of a systematic purge aimed at consolidating Mnangagwa’s grip on power by eliminating potential challengers within the military and intelligence sectors. https://www.zimeye.net/2025/02/14/chamisa-survives-mnangagwa-covid-assassination-plot/
