EXCLUSIVE: Mnangagwa's in secret night flight out of Zimbabwe, takes bags of gold with him. Zimbabwe President Emmerson @edmnangagwa quietly left the country aboard a private jet on Wednesday night ahead of politically sensitive hearings into Constitutional Amendment No. 3, fuelling speculation in Harare over both his whereabouts and rising tensions within the ruling establishment. Sources said Mnangagwa arrived at the airport unexpectedly in private vehicles. He was not in the usual heavily securitised and loud presidential convoy that includes armed escort vehicles and police motorcycle outriders. Airport staff were ordered to clear sections of the terminal before he was ushered through a private lounge directly to a hangar, where a private jet was waiting. No official send-off ceremony was held, and state media like @HeraldZimbabwe and @ZBCNewsonline carried no coverage of the departure. Adding to the intrigue, sources said another private jet allegedly departed shortly after Mnangagwa’s aircraft, carrying gold and travelling in the same direction. Government officials had, by Thursday morning, still not issued a formal statement on either the destination or purpose of the trip, an unusual departure from established state protocol under which senior ministers, military commanders and security chiefs publicly see off the president during foreign travel. The reported movements drew further scrutiny because they came days after Mnangagwa toured the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe vaults housing the country’s gold reserves. The unusually discreet departure comes days before hearings into the controversial Constitutional Amendment No. 3, scheduled to begin on May 20, a process already deepening political anxiety within both the ruling @ZANUPF_Official and the wider civic society. The proposed amendment could further consolidate executive power and weaken constitutional safeguards at a time of growing succession tensions inside the ruling party. Opposition figures, constitutional lawyers and some former liberation war veterans have warned that repeated attempts to alter constitutional arrangements risk pushing Zimbabwe into another legitimacy crisis, particularly amid persistent allegations of factional manoeuvring around the post-Mnangagwa era. The developments come at a delicate moment for Zimbabwe, whose political stability is increasingly being watched by regional leaders concerned about constitutional governance and succession management in southern Africa. Constitutional Amendment No. 3 hearings are likely to test not only domestic political cohesion but also the region’s broader commitment to constitutionalism after years of instability and contested reforms in Zimbabwe. For many Zimbabweans, however, the immediate question remained far simpler by Thursday afternoon: Where is the president?
