A recent exchange between President Emmerson Mnangagwa's and Vice-President Constantino Chiwenga's camps has revealed deep-seated divisions within Zanu-PF.
This feud is not only about succession but also exposes the secret financiers and power dynamics behind the 2017 military coup that toppled Robert Mugabe.
The conflict centers around the "ED2030" proposal, which aims to extend Mnangagwa's rule beyond the constitutional two-term limit ending in 2028.
The proposal has sparked a bitter succession feud ahead of the party's Mutare conference.
