Step down, war vets tell Mujuru

War veterans have advised Vice President Joice Mujuru to seriously consider her position in Zanu-PF ahead of Congress to make their job easier at the elective indaba.

The war vets spoke in light of revelations linking VP Mujuru to elements covertly pushing to unconstitutionally oust President Mugabe amid revelations they were mooting assassination.

Two of the VP's closest allies - former Zanu-PF spokesperson Rugare Gumbo and Secretary for Administration Didymus Mutasa have recently spoken of assassinating President Mugabe.

In their resolutions after a two-day elective congress at Great Zimbabwe that ushered in Ambassador Christopher Mutsvangwa as the new Zimbabwe National Liberation War Veterans' Association chairperson, the war veterans said VP Mujuru should heed their call so as to make their job "easy at congress", a clear indication they want her to step down from her positions in the party and Government.

The war veterans said President Mugabe has been a lone soldier dealing with all these counter-revolutionaries some whose names we have just mentioned.
