Former senior Cabinet minister and close President Mugabe's confidante, Didymus Mutasa has said he was kicked out of cabinet for seven years for challenging Mugabe over ESAP.
Mutasa says that Mugabe is a "a vindictive person, who does not forgive easily".
He said the 92 year old leader had the habit of "casting aside anyone who dares cross his path".
"Myself I was out of Cabinet for seven years because I challenged him over Esap (the country's Economic Structural Adjustment Programme of the 1990s) and he only brought me back after realising that he had failed.
"If you criticise him or his relatives, then good heavens it is something that you will pay for dearly," Mutasa said.
Mutasa is now a senior member of Zimbabwe People First led by Joice Mujuru.
