Mujuru to form new party
Staff Reporter
Zanu-PF secretary for Science and Technology; who is also Information, Media and Broadcasting Services Minister; Professor Jonathan Moyo said the Mujuru cabal circus has come full circle following the cabal's announcement that it was going to launch a party called Zanu-People First.
"(The) Mujuru-Mutasa-Rugare fiasco has now come full circle for everyone to see. Media revelations by Mutasa and Rugare that all along Joice Mujuru was leading a faction called Zanu People First put paid to any rational questions about why the threesome had to be expelled from Zanu Patriotic Front.
"In fact, many Zimbabweans are openly wondering why Mujuru was not expelled a long time ago following Mutasa's media revelations that the disgraced former Vice President, now famously known as Dr 10 Percent, was leading a faction called "People First" aimed at toppling President Mugabe to remove Zanu-PF from power outside electoral politics.
"But everyone, including a primary school child, knows that Zanu-PF has never had a high sounding postfix signifying 'People First'. Never ever! It is therefore utterly preposterous for Mutasa to say that anything called 'People First' is the original Zanu-PF. That fatuous claim can only come from somebody who has lost his marbles. If there's a political faction called Zanu People First led by Joice Mujuru, then it is in the treacherous company of previous similar puppet formations such as Zanu Ndonga or Zanu Mwenje," Prof Moyo said.
Moyo added that Simba Makoni and Dumiso Dabengwa also claimed to have the support of party stalwarts and yet no senior figures left with them.
"Media dreams of a split will come to grief not least because the nefarious pursuits of expelled malcontents in the wilderness cannot be rationally described as a split," Moyo told state media.
"Dumiso Dabengwa's 2008 foray into the political wilderness was not a split in Zanu-PF nor was Simba Makoni's Mavambo in the same year which ended up as Magumo in 2013.
"It is also notable that the expelled Mujuru-Mutasa-Rugare cabal was widely seen as the money-faction before its long overdue expulsion because money was, as it still is, more important to the threesome than ideology."
