Mujuru describes Mugabe allies as 'thugs and liars'

Joice Mujuru former Vice-President and leader of the new political outfit known as Zimbabwe People First (ZPF) says she is ready for the country's rugged political terrain.

Mujuru, who was purged from Zanu-PF in 2014 on allegations of trying to topple President Robert Mugabe, told Voice of America's Studio 7 that the internal turmoil bedevilling her former party did not surprise her.

Her official re-entry into the country's political minefield signals the beginning of what could be an interesting run-in to the 2018 elections at a time when Mugabe's Zanu-PF is literally at war with itself. Mujuru described her tormentors as "thugs and liars".
