ZANU PF spokesperson Christopher Mutsvangwa has strongly criticized Vice President Constantino Chiwenga for using the term 'zvigananda' to describe wealthy businessmen, interpreting it as an attack on the country's affluent community. Mutsvangwa defended the accumulation of wealth, linking it to Marxist concepts of primitive accumulation and the development of a middle class. He argued that labeling individuals negatively for their financial success is politically motivated and aims to grab power.
