Zanu-PF land barons funded Mujuru

Chiefs' Council president Chief Fortune Charumbira has accused Zanu-PF land barons of fuelling divisions within the ruling party and funding former Vice-President Joice Mujuru's Gamatox faction using their ill-gotten cash.

According to the Newsday, Charumbira soon after the burial of Chief Chinamhora, born Simon Gandidzanwa, near Shamva yesterday said that the Zanu-PF leadership had just realized that most land barons and leaders of dubious housing co-operatives within its ranks were linked to the Mujuru camp, hence the current push to expose them.

President Robert Mugabe's government has reportedly been hit by a bout of paranoia, with fear and suspicion amongst his lieutenants both in government and the ruling Zanu-PF party reaching unprecedented levels.
