Former Vice-President Joice Mujuru has been accused of failing to defend and protect scores of sacked Zanu PF members who were purged for allegedly supporting her.
The accusation came from former Zanu PF Mashonaland West chairman Temba Mliswa.
Mliswa said Mujuru was silent when they were fired and victimised but she should have stood up for axed officials and stopped the expulsions.
"Mai Mujuru has been quiet, but I believe in leaders who stand up for the people.
"If you go through a list of the number of people who suffered because of her, they are many. I sat down with my uncle (Didymus Mutasa) and said you were part of the (Zanu PF) politburo and when I was suspended what did you say? What did Mujuru say to defend me if people said I belonged to her? What did Simon Khaya Moyo (Zanu PF spokesperson) say since he was part of us?"
He said leaders should be brave and ready to stand for the people.
"I back leaders who are prepared to stand for us and ask what wrong did he do? They were silent until all of us went and they went too and now they want to fight back and want us to join them in their fight. I will never, not me," he said.
