There’s the first group of hardliners led by cabinet ministers and top civil servants. This group consists of Defence Minister Emmerson Mnangagwa, Justice Minister Patrick Chinamasa and Robert Mugabe’s spokesman George Charamba, among others.
The second and the most powerful group is the military junta, also called Joint Operations Command (JOC), led by General Constantine Chiwenga. Many Zimbabwe analysts believe this group to be the brains behind directing and dictating terms in the government.
But our source said; ‘We now have a third group of hardliners, the officer-corps that is funded and paid by proceeds from diamonds. This is a group that is loyal to Chiwenga and the junta and has recently been introduced to the African Diamond Producers Association (ADPA) by Mnangagwa.’
