Mujuru will not be arrested, says analysts

Analysts say chances that VP Mujuru will be prosecuted are slim.

Mujuru is being accused of attempting to topple the President among raft of other allegations. Analysts say it was nothing but a dirty political campaign that stood no chance in court of law.

UZ political scientist Eldred Masunungure said similar calls in the past to arrest top officials accused of corruption did not yield results and the same was likely to happen with VP Mujuru.

He said only time would tell whether or not there was any substance in the allegation to warrant persecution. Masunungure said should prosecution be initiated, it would be perceived more as political rather than criminal prosecution.

On other hand, Zanu PF has admitted that the current internecine fights within the party posed the greatest threat to its survival and is a national security danger.

According to a Central committee report factionalism was inflicting untold damage and injury on members and should be vigorously fought and annihilated.
