Later he added: “While the violence of the gun is real‚ powerful & devastating‚ it is always a temporary & empty deadend in that it is not as everlasting as the power of generational renewal which is unstoppable as a permanent force of history & progressive ideas. #MugabeLegacy.”
Moyo was part of the so-called G40 faction‚ backing Grace Mugabe as a potential successor to her husband.
