Mnangagwa ouster plot thickens

Zanu-PF hawks opposed to Vice-President Emmerson Mnangagwa's bid to succeed President Robert Mugabe have reportedly devised a strategy to kick him out of both government and the ruling party through no-confidence votes emanating from various provinces.

The latest strategy was reportedly hatched recently, after earlier attempts by First Lady Grace Mugabe to expose Mnangagwa's "shenanigans" seemed unsuccessful.

Sources who attended the meeting said Grace was asked to desist from dragging the military into the succession wars and to stop stoking factional fires through her rallies.
