Constantine Chiwenga

Birthplace: Chiweshe.
Family: Wife Jocelyn, several children.
History: Joined Mugabe in Mozambique for the independence struggle, then in 1980 joined the Army, and rose swiftly through the ranks, thanks to ruthless ambition.

Chiwenga was one of the first to raise his hand when Mugabe asked "Who wants a white farm?," repaying his boss by declaring before the 2002 Presidential election that his forces would accept no outcome other than a Mugabe victory.

Today he remains at the head of the much-politicised Army, and both he and his wife are amongst those barred from travelling to Europe and the US.
Future: Will put up a fight.
