Mnangagwa warns aggrieved war veterans calling out their demands as ‘treasonous’

President Emmerson Mnangagwa on Thursday said demands by a group of war veterans for him to step down were “treasonous” as he vowed to crush planned protests on March 31. The Zanu PF leader also denounced “chameleon-like characters” in his party, a rare admission of rampant factionalism. Mnangagwa told the Zanu PF central committee in Harare: “It is most unfortunate that a retrogressive trend has emerged, with some members of our party showing their chameleon-like characters as willing accessories to our detractors for the purpose of desecrating our rich revolutionary heritage. Down with them!”
