A close ally of Joice Mujuru says the popular 60-year old widow of the late General, Solomon Mujuru, will challenge President Robert Mugabe or whoever will represent the post-congress Zanu-PF in the much-anticipated 2018 presidential elections.
The spokesperson of disaffected Zanu-PF stalwarts, who now operate as the "original" Zanu-PF using the slogan People First, Rugare Gumbo, said yesterday that there was no doubt that Mujuru would be up for the challenge if members decided to make her the substantive leader and presidential candidate of the party.
Gumbo spoke as opposition leaders are making serious efforts to come together in a grand coalition that includes MDC president Morgan Tsvangirai, MKD leader Simba Makoni, Zapu president Dumiso Dabengwa and Mujuru, which will take on Mugabe and the ruling party in 2018.
Gumbo said Mujuru was a "political giant" to the extent that she would "shake the post-congress Zanu-PF to its core".
He indicated that Zanu-PF "People First" was in the process of building structures at grassroots level, as there were many disgruntled members dotted across the country.
