We ask is the March 31st movement in Zimbabwe a threat to President Mnangagwa? Talking with Dr Blessing-Miles Tendi, Politics Professor at Oxford University and author of The Overthrow of Robert Mugabe - Gender, Coups and Diplomats. We hear about the complex political landscape in Zimbabwe today and discover more about what actually happened in the 2017 coup that ousted Robert Mugabe.
Dr Tendi highlights the tensions within the ruling party and the influence of the 'struggle generation' on current politics.
Among the questions we ask Dr Tendi:
*Why did the 2017 coup happen?
*Did Mugabe's iconic standing as a liberator affect the way he was handled by the generals?
*Why was there reluctance to call what happened a coup?
*What was the international reactio?
*Has the mould been cast for future coups in Zimbabwe?
