'Zanu-PF vitriol betrays its panic'

President Robert Mugabe's Zanu-PF appears to be in panic mode as liberation struggle stalwarts prepare to mount a landmark legal challenge in the High Court against the tearing of the party's rule book.

Analysts said yesterday that the escalating and vitriolic attacks on Didymus Mutasa by party bigwigs, as well as the fact that lickspittle State media had gone to into overdrive in a bid to discredit him, betrayed the nervousness around the matter within the leadership of the party.

These sentiments came as the State media reported that the mooted challenge was futile exercise.

Because it did not have a sound legal standing, amid further claims that Joice Mujuru's supporters had allegedly disassociated themselves from the action.

A number of analysts give various inputs but all coming to the same conclusion that Zanu-PF is panicking.
