Zanu-PF plot to topple Mujuru thickens

The plot within Zanu PF to oust VP Joice Mujuru from her position and the dynamics of President Mugabe's fierce succession battle ahead of the party's elective congress in December is thickening amid indications she is slowly losing ground on critical structures, including the decision making politburo.

There are also growing indications the faction led by Mnangagwa will field a candidate to challenge Mujuru in December.

Official sources said a clique in Zanu PF and The Office of the President and Cabinet ministers have accused police Commissioner General Augustine Chihuri of openly backing her presidential treatment as witnessed by invitation to witness the pas out parade recently.

Sources said the invitation sent to Mujuru was initially designed for President Mugabe.

ZRP spokesperson Charity Charamba dismissed the allegations as baseless.
