Action President Emmerson Mnangagwa has sensationally claimed that he personally protected scores of white commercial farmers still on their land despite Zanu-PF's drive to repossess all white-owned land and redistribute it among black farmers.
He said most of the farmers still had their land because of his close connection to the Coetzee family, proprietors of Dendairy.
Meanwhile, tension has reportedly gripped the Zanu-PF government after daring burglars broke into Acting President Emmerson Mnangagwa's Justice Ministry offices at the New Government Complex in Harare on Tuesday night, with some top officials claiming it was an inside job involving the VP's Zanu-PF rivals.
National Police spokesperson Charity Charamba yesterday said she was still gathering information about the alleged break in. She hinted the intrusions might be a result of Zanu-PF succession wars but did not elaborate further.
