Former Zanu-PF secretary for administration Didymus Mutasa yesterday repeated his claims that Zanu-PF was planning to assassinate him ahead of the Headlands by-election on June 10.
The former Presidential Affairs minister said Mugabe's regime was behaving like Ian Smith's colonial government.
"There is likelihood that they want to kill me," he said. "They say they are trained to kill. I do not think I enjoy any form of protection.
"However, I am not living in fear. Remember I have a war experience and before that I fought against Smith's illegal regime."
Mutasa said the only difference between Mugabe and Smith was that the Rhodesian Prime Minister was white and the Zanu-PF leader is black.
"The only difference is that Smith was white, everything else is the same," he charged. "They will never protect me. The only protection I have and believe in is from God."
Information minister Jonathan Moyo has dismissed the moves by Mutasa's group to form a new party as insignificant.
