Kasukuwere accused Mnangagwa of presiding over what he called a “car-laden corrupt system” while the majority of Zimbabweans live in poverty.ED’s time is up and he must go,” Kasukuwere said in a short statement on X.“When the rest of the nation is living in abject poverty whilst him and his cronies live as if they are in Monaco is unacceptable… He has volunteered that he wants to resign, if he does not, we will assist him. That’s the best decision and he has to go. It’s over.”

Kasukuwere was a cabinet minister in November 2017 when he fled the country during the military coup. Him and other senior Zanu-PF figures who were opposed to Mnangagwa’s
