Controversial businessman Kudakwashe Tagwirei has officially joined the ZANU PF Central Committee, the ruling party’s highest decision-making body outside of congress.
The move, confirmed by party secretary for legal affairs Patrick Chinamasa, marks a significant political elevation for the prominent tycoon and long-time party benefactor.
Tagwirei’s co-option comes amid growing speculation about ZANU PF’s succession race, with President Emmerson Mnangagwa entering the final three years of his second and constitutionally final term.
With his new role, Tagwirei is now considered one of the potential contenders to take over the party leadership in the future.
Although the initial recommendation for his appointment came from ZANU PF’s Masvingo province, it was Harare province that ultimately made space for him in the powerful 300-member committee.
Chinamasa described Tagwirei as “a dormant but committed ZANU PF party cadre,” saying the businessman has long worked behind the scenes in a low-profile party role within Harare province.
He praised Tagwirei’s loyalty and continued support for the party, even while staying out of the public spotlight.
Tagwirei’s entry into formal politics marks a new chapter for the businessman, who has previously wielded considerable influence through his business empire and close ties to top government officials. Said Chinamasa:
From being, for a long time, a dormant but committed Zanupf Party Cadre, loyally working quietly and outside the public limelight or glare, holding some low-ranking position in some Zanupf Party District under Harare Province, your recent cooption into the Zanupf Central Committee is a breath of fresh air and will certainly be impactful to Zanupf’s political fortunes in Harare City and perhaps in other urban settings as well.
I am, of course, referring to Cde Dr Kudakwashe Tagwirei, who has recently been coopted into the Zanupf Central Committee by the Zanupf Harare Provincial Council.
I have no hesitation in assuring those of us who are skeptics that Harare Province will never be the same again.
Cde Tagwirei, who has erupted from his dormant state like a volcano, is destined to add value to our deliberations as a Zanupf Central Committee.
Welcome aboard, Cde Tagwirei, and brace yourself to the fact that there will be malcontents out there who will bay for your blood and try to throw mud at you with a view to seeking to tarnish your reputation.
I know you are made of sterner stuff and that you can take any brickbats and insults in your stride.
🙏
