Exiled G40 bigwigs had plotted for ex president, Robert Mugabe to be in China at the same time as President Mnangagwa.
This was revealed by George Charamba who said the exiles were scuttling plans by Mnangagwa and Mugabe to meet.
“There is also something that is so provocative that happened just before Mnangagwa was supposed to leave for China: The G40 cabal tried to make the former president go to China the same day that the president left,” Charamba told the Standard.
“The ostensible reason was that he wanted to buy tiles for his house. They were going to leave for China and then Singapore for a genuine medical check-up. Originally the president was supposed to visit Singapore as well, but there were budgetary constraints.
“This means the G40 cabal had planned to have the two leaders in China and Singapore at the same time and how would you expect to manage the two leaders in the same country at the same time?”
Mugabe complained bitterly in a recent interview about his alleged ill treatment by Mnangagwa’s government.
Charamba said the exiled G40 members feared a meeting between Mugabe and Mnangagwa would scuttle their comeback into politics.
“It was also an issue of G40 people in exile who fear a meeting between the former president and his successor,” he said.
“Their calculation, which is rather foolish, is to appropriate the symbolism of Mugabe and use it to relaunch themselves politically, therefore, they don’t want any meeting to take place”.Meanwhile, Charamba revealed that Mugabe was heading to Singapore for treatment.
