Feuding Zanu PF factions are said to be closing ranks to oust President Mugabe from power – ahead of the elections scheduled to be held either next year or in 2013.
Unnamed sources told the Daily News on Sunday (October 16) that the 2 main factions, believed to be led by Defence Minister Emmerson Mnangagwa and Vice President Joice Mujuru, are reaching out to each other in a bid to dethrone the long-ruling octogenarian.
"Reality is beginning to sink in that unless people work together, the old man won't go. As a result, there is a plan to put our heads together so that we can ask him (Mugabe) to step down before elections are held," one of the sources said.
The source would not say how the audacious, but unlikely plan would be practically orchestrated and implemented.
A long-standing party veteran, who had heard about the plan, said that he doubted that the plan would go ahead.
