PRESIDENT Robert Mugabe revealed Friday his row with liberation hero and former defence force chief, Solomon Mujuru, who was killed when an unexplained fire razed his farm house in 2011.
Mugabe's remarks during an address to the Zanu-PF women's league meeting in Harare raise new questions about Mujuru's death and the veteran leader's sincerity when mourning his passing.
On Friday the Zanu-PF leader revealed that Mujuru wanted to oust him after deciding that his policies were destroying the country and that people could not "suffer because of one man."
According to Mugabe, Mujuru plotted with former Zanu-PF politburo member Simba Makoni and academic and publisher Ibbo Mandaza to find a new leader for the ruling party.
"These three among others Mujuru, Makoni and Mandaza said Zanu-PF was being held back by Mugabe who continues to stick to Socialism," said Mugabe.
"They claimed this was inhibiting investment. Mujuru then concluded that the country cannot be held back by one person, people cannot suffer because of one man."
