'Mujuru's party better off making coalition with Zanu PF'

ZimFirst Party leader Maxwell Shumba has said Joice Mujuru's ZimPF is better off making a coalition with the ruling Zanu PF where the former vice president belongs than to try to bluff opposition parties.

"Joice Mujuru's ZimPF is better off forming a coalition with Mugabe's Zanu PF than with us and other real, untainted and forward looking opposition parties," Shumba said.

"We will let the tainted flock together if there are any parties hoodwinked by her antics. She has no moral ground to speak on behalf us or any other genuine opposition party. She is a distraction."

He said after all there is absolutely nothing that will stop her from going back to form an alliance with her former colleagues in Zanu PF.

"She consistently spoke highly of them before she was shown the door out. We recommend that she focuses on giving back to society the loot she amassed during her 36 years with Zanu PF," he said. "We will never be part of a coalition which involves Joice!"

Shumba and Mujuru has since the launch of Mujuru's party been embroiled in a hot fight over the name of the party with Shumba accusing Mujuru of stealing his party name.
