Mujuru bullies 'Madzibaba' to anoint her as President

PRESIDENT Robert Mugabe yesterday sensationally claimed that apart from using juju to unseat him, embattled Vice President Joice Mujuru bullied the Apostolic sect to anoint her as the ruler of the country thinking that he (Mugabe) will die in September.

"But the man refused to die in that September and is still refusing to die," Mugabe told his Central Committee yesterday in the absence of Mujuru and her allies who have been implicated in an infamous plot to kill him.

President Mugabe said after failing to topple him using juju Mujuru then sought to have herself illegitimately anointed by Vapostori led by one Mutumwa in a bid to topple him using "divine prowess."

But the church refused and swore their allegiance to Mugabe, according to a report by NewsDay.

Mugabe lambasted Mujuru for being power-hungry and said she should have waited to challenge him and not to plot against him.

"You start from the bottom, you were a nobody, you acquire a position in the central committee and then you are promoted to be in the inner core of the central committee, which we call the politburo, you are on the driving seat and it's pleasurable and you want to occupy that seat even if you don't qualify," he said.

He also said the Mujuru camp thought that after winning the election, he would relinquish power for her to rule but that did not happen because he had worked hard to win them (elections).

"I go to elections, fight an election and I am expected to bow to my deputy and say I won an election, you can take over?" he asked.
