Mugabe masterminds Zanu-PF confusion

Outspoken former Zanu-PF youth leader, Godfrey Tsenengamu, yesterday threw brickbats at President Robert Mugabe, accusing him of subtly plotting to backstab and dump Vice-President Emmerson Mnangagwa the same way he unceremoniously pushed out his former deputy, Joice Mujuru, in 2014.

Tsenengamu, in a no-holds-barred article shown to NewsDay yesterday, equated Mugabe to a leopard, which does not change its spots, saying the veteran Zanu-PF leader survives on divide-and-rule tactics.

The former Mashonaland Central Zanu-PF youth leader also claimed that Mugabe was behind the unprocedural amendment of the party constitution, which effectively scrapped the women's quota system and established the contentious one centre of power principle.
