President Robert Mugabe's latest rant about Zanu-PF factionalism confirms that Vice-President Emmerson Mnangagwa will not be his automatic successor, a prominent political analyst said yesterday.

Mugabe on Saturday told Zanu-PF youths the ruling party was now divided into factions backing Mnangagwa and Vice-President Phelekezela Mphoko.

The 91-year-old leader said those supporting Mnangagwa and Mphoko's camps were like ousted Vice-President Joice Mujuru's supporters.
