ROHR Zimbabwe (Restoration of Human Rights) has said Zanu PF is its own enemy considering the purging of its members on factional grounds.
" A Government so introspective that it ignores the plight of the general population, food supplies, human rights, rule of law, etc, etc," ROHR said.
"Zanu-PF is its own biggest threat. Its constitution is unclear about how to select a new party leader, and by extension president, if Mugabe becomes incapacitated or dies in office. That the party will not countenance open debate on this has led to incessant backroom political jockeying and unprecedented turmoil."
The organisation said in December 2014, then Vice President Joice Mujuru was purged and her rival, Emmerson Mnangagwa, elevated.
"Since then, over 140 top national and provincial party officials linked to Mujuru have been suspended or expelled from the party, including nine of ten provincial chairpersons and senior cabinet and politburo members. Posited as necessary to end party factionalism, this instead opened a new chapter of division, as those whose interests had converged around Mujuru's removal sought advantage over each other," ROHR said.
