Former president Robert Mugabe on Saturday told a shocked crowd that his successor, President Emmerson Mnangagwa may not win 2018 polls.
Mugabe said Zanu PF’s chances of winning this year’s elections were slim following the military takeover.
“We are sorry, we misled our people. We are sorry we deceived them.
I am talking even on behalf of Emmerson who does not want to be called president by me, we deceived our people,” he added.
“We need to apologise and say the truth to them.
I don’t know with the time left whether we are able to do that and unite the people.
But first things first, they must accept and apologise that what they did was wrong.
“It is not what we fought for.
Then we can start to talk on the way forward.
But I doubt if our people will forgive us. I doubt if they will be trusted again.”
Mugabe ended his address by chanting a slogan “Pamberi nekubatana, pamberi nebirthday, pamberi navaMugabe, pasi nevanoda kuvanetsa [Forward with unity, forward with the birthday, forward with Mugabe, down with those who want to trouble him].”
