Zimbabwe Politics Chat, October 9 2026 (Part 1)

Zimbabwe Politics Chat, October 9 2026 With Dr Clarence on tv7 Live Zimbabwe's politics in 2026 is not what you think. After 44 years of ZANU-PF rule, a new constitution, a coup in 2017, and a disputed 2023 election, President Emmerson Mnangagwa has just extended his term to 2030, scrapped direct presidential elections, and triggered the biggest constitutional crisis since independence.

IN THIS VIDEO: We go deep into the liberation war legacy, Gukurahundi, why ZANU-PF never loses, why the opposition CCC collapsed after winning 103 seats, the Mnangagwa vs Chiwenga succession war, the rise of Kudakwashe Tagwirei, Nelson Chamisa's comeback with Agenda 2026, the ED2030 and 2040 slogans, Constitution Amendment No.3, the economy, the ZiG currency, lithium, gold mafia, and what happens next.
