Zanu PF supporters in Kadoma yesterday warned First Lady Grace Mugabe that 'if you want to kill us, we are prepared to kill also'.
They said Grace was fed with malicious rumours by "witches", which led to her firing the late Zanu PF Mashonaland West Proportional Representation MP Joan Tsogorani from the Zanu PF women's league provincial post.
Tsogorani died on Monday.
Said Zanu PF national executive member Loscious Tarasikirwa : "As Zanu PF, we can notice at this funeral those who have chosen to absent themselves. These are cannibals who eat people - down with them,"
Mark Dube had a direct attack on Grace.
"The First Lady has to seriously introspect, sit down and assess the calibre of her subordinates in the party. She must know she is working with crooks. But a word of warning is, if you want to kill us, we are prepared to kill also. Don't see war veterans as fools. You are busy fighting for positions, while the gains of the liberation struggle are jeopardised," he said.
"Senior officials here present should go and tell the First Lady she is working with dishonest people, who feed her lies.
Mashonaland West provincial political commissar Simon Solomon had no kind words aimed at Grace.
"There is no one who knows how they will die. But if someone repeatedly threatens another saying they are going to die, do we have to look for a witch elsewhere? Better to fire us and allow us to live peacefully with our families than to kill us. Don't kill us, fire us," he said.
Kadoma Central legislator Fani Phiri weighed in saying: "When Tsogorani told me she wanted to contest the 2013 Senatorial elections, l warned her that politics was like being in a gamepark full of wild animals that would hound her. I told her: ‘If you are not careful, you will go'. Now the predators have pounced on her like Cecil the lion used to prey on others. But what l know is that they will soon meet their own demise.
"Let's remove the demons of hatred in Zanu PF, let's unite. We should be talking about how many closed companies have reopened, not how many people have died," Phiri said.
