Eddison Zvobgo was one of the most powerful politicians in the Zimbabwe African National Union-Patriotic Front. That was until he began to challenge corruption within the party, and the fact that President Robert Mugabe had overstayed. He was also one of the party’s chief legal draftsmen and is reported to have regretted creating the executive presidency.
