Fort Hare lecturer Willie says the apparent coup in Zimbabwe is an indirect endorsement for former vice president Emmerson Mnangagwa to take over the reins.
There’s uncertainty around political tensions in Zimbabwe with the army confirming its pursuing individuals it believes are infiltrating government, referring to them as 'criminals' around Mugabe.
According to reports Mnangagwa landed at Manyame Airforce Base to take control of the country’s government, although this has not been officially confirmed.

In my own analysis, based on my experience having been in Zimbabwe is few weeks ago. What we are seeing is the unfolding of politics of person where the military has a preference as to who should run Zimbabwe

Willie has criticised the military's intentions.
But the very same military has been quiet when there has been political killings in the country, th every same military has been recorded by citizens abusing ordinary villagers.

It's a tad bit too late for them to come out to try and claim and represent the interests of Zimbabweans when their hands are actually filled with the blood of ordinary citizens.
