Mujuru not ready to announce her political future

Ousted former Vice-President Joice Mujuru yesterday said she would not be pushed into prematurely announcing her political future despite mounting pressure from disgruntled ex-Zanu PF members who want her to lead their proposed new political outfit, Zanu People First (PF).

Mujuru yesterday said that she would decide on the opportune time to make a move. She said she is not there to be pushed has her own time and plans.

Disaffected Zanu-PF members who have been putting their political fate on her were reportedly losing patience due to her failure to publicly declare if she was ready to take Zanu PF head-on and challenge President Robert Mugabe in the 2018 presidential race.

Instead of making her plans known after her expulsion from the ruling party in March this year, Mujuru has kept her political cards close to her chest.

This has, however, angered some Zanu PF officials who were suspended, booted out from party posts or fired from government after they were linked to her alleged plot to unconstitutionally topple Mugabe.

Her allies in separate interviews this week that Mujuru's silence and "wait-and-see" attitude was demoralizing most of them.
