THE ruling party's second most influential woman politician, Oppah Muchinguri, is skirting on thin ice over a leaked audio clip in which she was tapped lambasting her opponents as the infighting in Zanu-PF takes a familiar turn whereby loose alliances are being forged to decongest the race to succeed President Robert Mugabe by eliminating rivals.
A case of fanning factionalism is being made against Muchinguri by her nemesis in Zanu-PF after they got hold of the audio recording that betrayed her misgivings against a coterie of senior politicians in Manicaland Province.
The bubbly politician now faces possible censure by the party's highest decision-making organ - the Politburo - at its next meeting.
What has triggered the fallout between Muchinguri and the party's leadership in Manicaland is an audio clip which gave away her alleged plots against sharp-tongued Provincial Affairs Minister Mandi Chimene; Makoni West Member of Parliament, Kudzai Chipanga; interim provincial chairman, Samuel Undenge and Zanu-PF Youth League members - Victor Saunyama and Mubuso Chinguno - among others.
Armed with the recording, Muchinguri's adversaries are going for the jugular.
They want the former Zanu-PF Women's League boss to be suspended from the party for fomenting divisions.
As it is, Muchinguri's allies are under siege in what is meant to isolate her while bidding for the opportunity to strike.
Provincial youth chairman, Kelvin Manyengavana, who, in the tape, appeared to be receiving specific instructions from Muchinguri to go on the ground to execute the purging of rivals, was recently booted and replaced by his deputy, Chinguno.
