Fellow Zimbabweans, comrades, and all who love this nation,I speak to you today not as a politician seeking power, but as a retired Lieutenant General who has spent decades in uniform defending the sovereignty and dignity of Zimbabwe. I have seen war, I have commanded troops, I have studied systems of order, discipline, and national command at the highest levels. What I see now pains me deeply.Zimbabwe is under siege. Not from foreign armies on our borders, but from within from the disastrous leadership of President Emmerson Mnangagwa and the destructive Zvigananda cabal. Their rule has brought economic strangulation, institutional decay, corruption on an industrial scale, and a complete breakdown of the very systems that once held this country together. The people are suffering. The military ethos of service, sacrifice, and national interest has been replaced by greed, factionalism, and personal enrichment. Zimbabwe does not need more of the same. We need a leader who truly understands what it means to be President. We need a leader who understands command. We need a leader who understands systems how to build them, how to enforce them, and how to make them work for the nation rather than against it. That leader is General Constantino Chiwenga.General Chiwenga is not a civilian politician who learned about power from textbooks or foreign handlers. He is a soldier’s soldier. He has commanded divisions. He has managed complex operations under pressure. He understands chain of command, accountability, logistics, and strategic decision-making. These are not abstract concepts to him they are the tools he has used his entire adult life to protect Zimbabwe.A president must command respect from the security sector, not fear it or be captured by it. A president must impose order on chaos, not preside over it. A president must build and defend functional systems in the economy, in governance, in the civil service, and in national security. General Chiwenga has demonstrated he possesses exactly that capacity.The current arrangement under Mnangagwa and the Zvigananda has failed. It has failed the veterans, it has failed the youth, it has failed the ordinary citizen who simply wants to work, eat, and live in peace. Zimbabwe cannot continue on this path of managed decline. It is time for a return to disciplined, system-driven leadership. It is time for a leader who knows how to command. It is time for General Constantino Chiwenga. I, Retired Lieutenant General Winston Sigauke Mapuranga, make this call not out of personal ambition, but out of love for the uniform I once wore and the country I still serve in my retirement. The choice before us is clear: continued siege under weak, self-serving rule or decisive, structured leadership that can actually deliver results.Zimbabwe deserves better. Zimbabwe needs General Chiwenga. May God protect and guide our nation. Retired Lieutenant General Winston Sigauke Mapuranga. #defendtheconstitution #edmustgo #saynoto2030 #mkanyachiwenga #retiredgenerals - @cdesistermwenewazvo
