Robert Junior Mugabe has endorsed Zanu PF ahead of by-elections on Saturday.Robert Mugabe senior died a bitter man and voted for the opposition led by Nelson Chamisa in 2018.
"I thought I should come and support the party... it's a family tradition. Since I was born, all I knew was Zanu PF," Robert Junior, 30, told journalists upon his arrival at President Emmerson Mnangagwa and Zanu PF's rally in St Mary's Chitungwiza about 25km east of Harare.His appearance at the rally and support for Zanu PF is contrary to that of his father shortly before his death.
"I can't vote for those who have caused me to be in this condition," the late Mugabe declared at a news conference on 29 July 2018, two days before the elections. Tankers rolled into the streets of Harare a few days after Mugabe had fired his then-deputy Emmerson Mnangagwa, who, in a letter addressed to the president, declared that he would be back in three weeks to"take the levers of power".Prosperity preacher and socialite Passion Java has been credited with persuading Mugabe's son to support Zanu PF since the two have appeared on social media together.
