Former Vice-President Joice Mujuru has rubbished claims from some political quarters that she could be weighing her options with a view to jumping back to Zanu-PF, saying that will never happen.
Speaking directly for the first time in response to the allegations, Mujuru told The Standard on Friday: "Do you see Teurai doing such a thing?" (Teurai-Ropa is Mujuru's liberation war name).
The former VP usually speaks through former Zanu-PF spokesperson Rugare Gumbo and ex-administrator of the party Didymus Mutasa, who have aligned with her in her new political endeavours.
The Standard managed to secure a brief interview with her in which she insisted on accurate quotes, failure of which she said no interviews would be granted in the future.
"I have more important people's things to do than to talk about non-existing issues. Uri kuona zvichiitwa naTeurai izvozvo? [Do you see Teurai doing such a thing as re-joining Zanu-PF?] When I am ready, I will do what the real suffering people of Zimbabwe want me to do," she said.
Her statement follows utterances by ex-Zanu-PF provincial chairman for Mashonaland West Temba Mliswa, who claimed that Mujuru was working with a Zanu-PF faction dubbed G40.
"Zimbabweans must learn to respect others and even respect themselves," Mujuru said. "I am a person of my own ways… I don't just do things. I have my own way of doing things."
