Godfrey Tsenengamu, the former Zanu PF Youth League Political Commissar, has made a dramatic return to politics, announcing his decision to lead the Front for Economic Emancipation in Zimbabwe (FEEZ) at a press conference in Harare on Tuesday. Tsenengamu, a vocal critic of President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s administration, urged the president to “step down because it’s best for you and your family”.
Tsenengamu’s return to politics comes after a brief hiatus, during which he focused on fighting corruption and promoting economic empowerment. However, he has now realized that politics and governance directly impact these efforts, leading him to reconsider his decision to quit politics.
The press conference was disrupted by an unidentified man who accused Tsenengamu of owing him two goats. Tsenengamu dismissed the accusation as an attempt to distract from his message, but the incident highlighted the challenges he faces as he positions himself as an opposition figure.
As the leader of FEEZ, Tsenengamu has promised to push for greater accountability and challenge what he sees as the ruling party’s misuse of state resources. His renewed political activism comes at a time when Zimbabwe is facing mounting political and economic challenges, with critics accusing Mnangagwa’s administration of corruption and failing to deliver on promises of economic reform.
Tsenengamu’s decision to return to politics has sparked interest, with many wondering if his renewed activism will gain traction in Zimbabwe’s polarized political climate. One thing is certain, however: Tsenengamu is determined to make his voice heard and bring about change in Zimbabwe.
