Several senior Zanu-PF bigwigs are reportedly frequenting traditional healers, fortune tellers and prophets in a bid to take over from aging President Robert Mugabe, the party's political commissar Saviour Kasukuwere claimed at the weekend.
Kasukuwere told thousands of party supporters in Murewa last week that some party officials were burning the midnight oil and using the cover of darkness plotting to take over from the President, but warned they were wasting time as the President was there to stay.
"N'angas (traditional healers) and prophets are in trouble these days. We, however, say, down with those who are not sleeping dreaming of a post that is not there. Some did not sleep dreaming of a post that is not vacant," he said.
"How can you bet for horses when there is no race? In 2013, we agreed that Gushungo [Mugabe] was in charge. Let him rule. When we say one centre of power, we mean exactly that. The December (2014) congress flushed out rotten elements and don't build castles in the air. We have one President and one Amai, let them rule our country.
"There is no First Man's vacancy and there is none for the First Lady because she is there. Those that dream are wasting time. There is a person in the name of our father, Cde Mugabe," he said.
