GENERATION 40 (G40) are reportedly making frantic efforts to revive their political fortunes, amid sticking corruption charges.
G40 group is fronted by Jonathan Moyo, Saviour Kasukuwere and Patrick Zhuwawo.
The trio has allegedly roped in South Africa’s Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) leader, Julius Malema, to help mid wife their rebirth efforts.
Reports reaching Zim Morning Post suggest that the former Zanu PF faction is fretting over corruption charges, which are likely to back peddle their political return.
Speaking at a ceremony to mark former President Robert Mugabe’s burial from South Africa last week, Saviour Kasukuwere, one of the prominent G40 leaders, made it clear that the G40 was on its way back in order to finish off the political mission they had already started back home in Zimbabwe.
“Go well, Gushungo. Thank you for the service to your great country and Africa. Your burial is unfinished business and hope we will all have the courage to do what is right for our country. Fellow countrymen, let’s Stop & Think!” Kasukuwere wrote in a tweet.
Kasukuwere’s intentions to bounce back into the political fray were also echoed by political activist Acie Lumumba on his official micro blogging site, Facebook.
Currently, the EFF is reportedly giving G40 leaders a launchpad to revive their political efforts, but they fear that government could soon be under pressure from this regrouped faction.
Reports are that South Africa ruling party ANC has also been approached by the G40 faction but chances of cooperation are slim based on the traditional solidarity between revolutionary parties.
The G40 is a brainchild of expelled Zanu PF leaders, many of them now in self-imposed exile in South Africa.
