Fear grips Mujuru family

Fear has gripped the Mujuru family after Zanu-PF openly charged that the late General Solomon Mujuru and his wife Joice, the former Vice-President were involved in a plot to oust President Robert Mugabe from power.
One of Mujuru's children told The Standard yesterday on condition of anonymity that they now lived in fear, as the claims by the party's national disciplinary committee could be used by enemies of the Mujuru family as justification to harm them.
She said the way her mother was treated had left her traumatised. Joice has been vilified as a coup plotter, a dishonest person, a witch and morally loose by President Robert Mugabe and his wife Grace.
Mugabe has not relented on his attacks on her, even though the former Vice-President has retreated to her farm where she is engaged in full-time farming.
"She [former VP Mujuru] has gone through a lot in the short period. He [the late General Mujuru] died in 2011 under mysterious circumstances and before we could fully recover, we are unjustifiably hit this hard again. I think the best way for her is to remain quiet and give all to God," she said.
Mujuru's daughter said the allegations by the politburo that her father wanted to remove Mugabe could explain why he was killed in the inferno.
The Zanu-PF disciplinary report presented by legal secretary Patrick Chinamasa to the politburo on Thursday claimed that Mujuru and her husband started plotting against Mugabe in 2004 and were instrumental in the 2008 "Bhora Musango" project which Zanu-PF claims cost it elections that year.
