Mujuru gets standing ovation from MDC-T legislators

MDC-T legislators yesterday joined Zanu PF factional wars by giving Vice President Mujuru a standing ovation when she walked into Parliament for the official opening

of the Second Session of the Eighth Parliament.

Mujuru and her fierce rival Emmerson Mnangagwa led a procession of Cabinet ministers into the house for the start of proceedings.

After all the MPs sat, Glen View MP Fani Munengami (MDC-T) said:

"Ngatiisei maoko kuna VP"(Let's applaud the VP). It was then that all MDC-T MPs started clapping, ululating and whistling for VP Mujuru.

Before her arrival, MDC-T legislators were chanting "Gamatox" and "Zvipfukuto" in apparent reference to some Zanu-PF slogans that are defining the party along factional lines.

Since the First Lady Amai Grace Mugabe publicly rapped Dr Mujuru for alleged corruption, extortion, illicit diamond dealings, fanning factionalism in Zanu-PF and undermining the authority of President Mugabe

Ironically, opposition leaders the likes of Tendai Biti, Job Sikhala and NCA

leader Lovemore Madhuku leaped to Mujuru's defence threatening war in defence of VP

Mujuru in whose house the opposition MDC and Mavambo Kusile Dawn are said to have been formed.
