Mugabe feels Mujuru's heat

President Robert Mugabe's decision in late 2014 to cut former Vice President Joice Mujuru loose from both his warring Zanu-PF party and the government is increasingly looking like a monumental political blunder.

Zanu-PF insiders yesterday said that many ruling party bigwigs were ruing the decision to expel Mujuru and her close allies from the party as this had left the former liberation movement even more divided and facing the real prospects of losing power in the eagerly anticipated 2018 national elections.
