Mutambara expresses immense disappointment in Mnangagwa, noting his competence and capacity are "minimal". He criticizes Mnangagwa for failing to capitalize on the goodwill of the 2017 coup to establish a legacy of constitutionalism, rule of law, and economic prosperity. Furthermore, he accuses Mnangagwa of intense tribalism and nepotism—arguing it is worse than under Mugabe's rule.

He attributes Mnangagwa's authoritarianism and strongman tactics directly to deep insecurity, as Mnangagwa lacks the historical liberation and founding contributions that gave Mugabe political confidence.
