Cracks widen in Mugabe's Zanu-PF

HARARE - With each passing week the Zanu PF congress, it is increasingly clear cracks are developing and widening within the broad anti-Joice Mujuru alliance of VP Emmerson Mnangagwa and President Robert Mugabe's wife, Grace as the First Lady's key allies publicly express discontent about the new arrangement in which they feel they got a raw deal in the sharing of spoils.

A close ally to Mnangagwa ally said this week that the gang of four is unhappy with the shift of power to Mnangagwa hence the attacks directed at him which they have the state media of late.

They are also angered by their failure to make the celebrations guest list.

Mnangagwa raised tensions after he overlooked the so-called gang of four where he sent out invites to the bash in Zvishavane two weeks ago to celebrate his appointment to the vice-presidency and other parties which had been lined up for Kwekwe and Zvimba.
