Tagwirei Warned: “Be careful, money cannot buy political orientation in ZANU PF”

By Shelton Muchena in England
A senior ZANU PF elder has reportedly issued a stern warning to businessman-turned-political figure Kudakwashe Tagwirei, cautioning him about the dangers of overexposure and unchecked ambition within the ruling party.
Sources close to this publication revealed that following the Mutare Conference, Tagwirei has become increasingly active on the political stage, addressing rallies and moving with what many describe as a “presidential aura.”
While analysts have speculated that he is being positioned as a possible successor within the party, insiders say elders are concerned that his approach may ultimately harm rather than elevate him.
Although Tagwirei is a giant in the business world, sources say he still has much to learn politically.
“My son,” the elder is said to have told him, “you walk with speed, but without direction. You are entering a house whose foundation you have not studied. You carry titles you cannot yet defend. You speak loudly, but you do not understand the weight of your own words.”
The warning continued:
“Before it is too late, you must attend the School of Ideology. This is not a suggestion. It is a warning. Without orientation, ambition becomes confusion. Without discipline, influence becomes noise. And without the foundation that others took years to build, you will lose yourself in a world you do not yet understand.”
According to the source, the elder also cautioned Tagwirei about the company he keeps. Political analysts share the same concern, warning that surrounding himself with figures like Godfrey Tsenagamu could expose him to unnecessary danger.
“The people advising you do not meet the standards required,” the elder reportedly said. “They do not know the principles they should be teaching you. They push you forward because they cannot see how unprepared you still are. If you want to serve with honour, you must first learn the values, the history, the ideology. You must know the path before you walk it.”
To his credit, Tagwirei is said to have taken the advice seriously, although it remains to be seen whether he will indeed attend the School of Ideology.
Meanwhile, the public continues to watch him closely. Many are impressed by his energy and ambition. Others are uneasy, believing that he is taking on responsibilities he does not yet fully understand. Critics say he relies too heavily on the instincts of a businessman, assuming people can be won over through generosity rather than vision.
Those close to him in business circles have encouraged him to push harder, assuring him he is ready for greater political roles.
But, according to insiders, their excitement is not wisdom, and their business mindset does not match the political terrain he is stepping into.
Many of the older voices he once trusted are no longer alive to steady or guide him.
