Zimbabwe's succession battles have reached
critical levels after Sport and Recreation Minister
Makhosini Hlongwane reportedly discovered a live
bullet in his hotel room on Monday night.
According to News Day, Hlongwane, a former ally
of Vice President Emmerson Mnangagwa, said he
was 'worried' about the latest developments,
adding this could "expose his family to imminent
danger".
"I am not afraid to do my lawfully assigned duties,
but this is worrying and very disturbing,"
Hlongwane was quoted saying.
Police were yet to verify the reports before making
an official statement, the report said.
Sources from the ruling Zanu-PF claimed that the
discovery of the bullets in Hlongwane's room had
caused fear within the party as the factional wars
escalate.
According to Zimbabwe Independent , Hlongwane,
together with two other ministers, Tapiwa
Matangaidze and Annastacia Ndlovu recently got
appointed to ministerial positions. The
development allegedly led them to defect to the
group of young Turks, referred to as Generation 40
(G40), which is reportedly led by Grace Mugabe
and Vice President Phekezela Mphoko.
The report revealed that the trio believed Grace
was instrumental in their appointments.
