Zimbabwe African National Union – Patriotic Front
Zimbabwe (), officially the Republic of Zimbabwe, is a landlocked country located in Southeast Africa, between the Zambezi and Limpopo Rivers, bordered by South Africa to the south, Botswana to the south-west, Zambia to the north, and Mozambique to the east. The capital and largest city is Harare. The second largest city is Bulawayo. A country of roughly 15 million people, Zimbabwe has 16 official languages, with English, Shona, and Ndebele the most common. Beginning in the 9th century, during its late Iron Age, the Bantu people (who would become the ethnic Shona) built the city-state of Great Zimbabwe which became one of the major African trade centres by the 11th century, controlling the gold, ivory and copper trades with the Swahili coast, which were connected to Arab and Indian states. By the mid 15th century, the city-state had been abandoned. From there, the Kingdom of Zimbabwe was established, followed by the Rozvi and Mutapa empires. The British South Africa Comp ...

G40 Faction
Generation 40 (G40) was a faction of the Zimbabwe African National Union – Patriotic Front (ZANU–PF). The G40 was an informal group of ZANU–PF politicians working on generation change by replacing the older officials of the party. The group promoted itself as the younger, savvy, and well educated ZANU–PF members. It was said to be led by Jonathan Moyo and ZANU–PF political commissar, Saviour Kasukuwere but fronted by Grace Mugabe, the former First Lady of Zimbabwe. Moyo has claimed he coined the term that was now wrongly used to refer to a ZANU–PF faction. He stated that he first used it in the state-controlled '' Sunday Mail'' in August 2011. He stated that he was referring to younger generation of all political affiliations and gender. Among some of those believed to have been linked to the group were the nephew of Robert Mugabe and the Youth and Indigenisation Minister Patrick Zhuwao, Sports Minister Makhosini Hlongwane, Deputy Minister of Public Service Tapiwa ...

National Patriotic Front (Zimbabwe)
The National Patriotic Front (NPF) is a Zimbabwean political party founded on 19 November 2017 by leaders of the expelled G40 faction of the ZANU-PF party, which included the exiled Jonathan Moyo, Patrick Zhuwao and Saviour Kasukuwere. The party denounced the military takeover in November 2017, known as Operation Restore Legacy, that led to President Robert Mugabe's resignation. In March 2018, retired Brigadier Ambrose Mutinhiri resigned from parliament and left the ZANU-PF to become president of the NPF, and shortly thereafter Ambrose Mutinhiri was announced as the party's presidential candidate for the 2018 general elections. In late May 2018 a video of Jonathan Moyo and Patrick Zhuwawo discussing the NPF's internal problems was live-streamed online. In the video the two former G40 leaders alleged the possible abuse of party funds by its spokesperson Jealousy Mawarire and party president Ambrose Mutinhiri. Mawarire reacted by calling Moyo a "bloody liar and petty thief." ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
