Zanu-PF officials could end up killing each other, claims

There are reports that the rift between Zanu-PF officials has reached crisis level, with some members now fearing for their lives.

A Zanu-PF official told Daily News that "the anarchy in the whole movement and in government, from top to bottom, has now reached crisis level and my own fear is that we may even see body bags at our doors very soon, the way things are going."

"As you know, even President Mugabe, concerned by the mayhem, recently talked openly about this while addressing the Youth League. At the top, the VPs are at each other's throats and below them anongove mazvakezvake (Shona for dog-eat-dog infighting)," a despondent Zanu PF politburo member told the publication.

Last week the First Lady, Grace Mugabe humiliated the two vice presidents Emmerson Mnangagwa and Phelekezela Mphoko publicly by revealing that they take instructions from her.

Last week at Stanley Square in Bulawayo, Mpkhoko bunked Tshinga Dube's victory celebration protesting that Zanu PF spokesperson Simon Khaya-Moyo was also invited.
