Limping Zanu-PF's politburo meets as factionalism continues

Zanu-PF's warring factions will today face-off at the ruling party's politburo meeting as internal power struggles continue unabated.

President Robert Mugabe has surprisingly faced hitherto unheard of defiance even from the fiercely loyal veterans of the country's liberation struggle.

This comes amid reports of clashes between two rival factions, one dubbed G40, which allegedly has the backing of First Lady Grace Mugabe, and the other one said to be loyal to Vice-President Emmerson Mnangagwa, going by the moniker Lacoste.
