The newly formed Zimbabwe People First’s leader Dr Joice Mujuru is in trouble with her former friends in the ruling Zanu PF party following a string of ‘insulting’ statements aimed at President Mugabe, his wife Grace and Zanu PF.
First, Zanu PF hardliners are in arms over “Mugabe is a living spirit” utterance which they found unpalatable. Since formally joining opposition trenches Mujuru has been blasting the 92 year old for incompetence and ruining Zanu PF and the country.
Mujuru also made it clear that First Lady Grace Mugabe will not last beyond Mugabe. “She will be relevant to Zanu PF as long as Mugabe is still in office,” she said.
Joice Mujuru’s Zimbabwe People First has been hailed as a Tsunami type of opposition capable of shacking Zanu PF as the Movement Democratic Change did in 2000 elections.
The party draws most of its support from women, neutrals and disenfranchised Zanu PF members.
