Mugabe savages Mutasa on arrival

President Robert Mugabe returned home from his annual leave today and immediately fired a salvo at the party's former Secretary for Administration, Didymus Mutasa, describing him as a fool who can not be corrected.

Addressing thousands of people at the Harare International Airport, the President said Zanu-PF issues are resolved within the party and no amount of pressure from any regional grouping will persuade the revolutionary party otherwise.

Mugabe arrived to a rousing welcome from a massive crowd that had turned up at the Harare International Airport to welcome him.

Addressing the Zanu-PF supporters who were holding placards denouncing Mutasa, President Mugabe said the former security minister has lost his mind.

He said Zanu-PF will not entertain outside interference.

Meanwhile, the First Lady, Dr Grace Mugabe did not return with the President.

Mugabe told the gathering that the First Lady, whom he jokingly referred to as 'Amai Stop it,' underwent a successful appendix removal surgery and she is now recovering out of hospital after being discharged two days ago.

The President assured people who were affected by floods both in rural and urban areas that the government will do all it can to assist them.

He also said he was saddened by the loss of 26 lives in the bus accident that occurred near Blue Ridge along the Harare-Nyamapanda highway on Sunday.

President Mugabe urged the two vice presidents, Emmerson Mnangagwa and Phelekezela Mphoko to remain focused even in the face of onslaughts as they have the support of the party.

On civil servants, he appealed to them to bear with the government, saying their concerns will be prioritised when the economy starts to perform well.

He then thanked party supporters for upholding the party principles and values even after congress and urged them to remain united.
