'Zanu-PF plotting brutal campaigns'

Firebrand former war veterans' leader Jabulani Sibanda has warned that President Robert Mugabe's ruling Zanu-PF party-severely weakened by its vicious factional and succession wars- will heighten its well-known thuggish tactics that include bloody campaign and the brutalisation of its opponents to survive and remain in power.

Sibanda said the party's ongoing brutal purges of officials perceived to be loyal to former VP Joice Mujuru had severely weakened the party to a "point of no return".

"The party has been disintegrated and the danger that lies ahead is that they will soon realise that they have lost ground and have no strength and will resort to annihilating those opposed to them, killing people through assassinations".
