War Veterans develop cold feet

Boisterous fighters of the liberation struggle had to abandon their planned demonstration yesterday, which was meant to show support of their embattled leader, Christopher Mutsvangwa, as well as stopping Higher and Tertiary Education Minister , Jonathan Moyo, from attending the Zanu-PF's Politburo meeting.

The war veterans had planned to converge at the party headquarters, but developed cold feet at the eleventh hour after they were outwitted by members of the Zanu-PF Women's League who are said to be working closely with Generation 40 (G40) – a group of young Turks campaigning against Vice President Emmerson Mnangagwa's prospects of taking over from President Robert Mugabe in the event that he retires from active politics.
