Maimane Accuses Mnangagwa Of Fueling Regional Crisis – Eduzim News

Tinashe Sambiri– South African opposition figure Mmusi Maimane sharply criticised Emmerson Mnangagwa and his administration over the weekend, accusing Zanu PF of being at the centre of the region’s crises.

Writing on X, Maimane condemned the government in Harare for contributing to widespread instability and migration issues. “Unless we condemn this evil and support real democracy in the SADC region we will not be able to stop the immigration crisis,” he said.

He also targeted the African National Congress (ANC), warning against supporting Mnangagwa. “The ANC should not back Zanu PF and @edmnangagwa in this pursuit of turning Zimbabwe into the Mnangagwa Kingdom,” Maimane said.

Reflecting on the broader impact of past leadership, Maimane said both former President Robert Mugabe and Mnangagwa were responsible for the current migration pressures affecting South Africa.

“Mugabe and Mnangagwa caused the immigration crisis in South Africa. Any ANC minister who speaks loudly about borders but whispers about the evil regime in Zimbabwe is not telling South Africans the truth,” he added.

Critics of Mnangagwa have also highlighted his apparent desire to extend his tenure indefinitely, with many referring to him as Zimbabwe’s ‘Crocodile’ leader, eyeing a role as president for life.
