Mujuru, Tsvangirai clash over party names

Maxwell Shumba MDC-T leader Morgan Tsvangirai's former chief political strategist has sensationally claimed efforts to forge a grand coalition between his former boss and ex-Vice President Joice Mujuru collapsed after the two parties clashed over the proposed name for the hybrid party.

Shumba claimed the talks collapsed after Tsvangirai insisted on being leader of the new party, while Mujuru's emissary former Presidential Affairs Minister Didymus Mutasa wanted the formation to be named Zanu People First.
