FORMER Vice President and leader of the newly launched Zimbabwe People First (ZPF) party, Joice Mujuru, says her expulsion from government was inevitable as she routinely clashed with President Robert Mugabe during their meetings.
"I was always clashing with Mugabe over policy issues during our meetings and it was clear that one day I was going to leave government and the party," said Mujuru in an interview with Newzimbabwe.com at her Mount Pleasant house last week.
Asked why she could not implement her proposed ideas during her 34-year spell in government, Mujuru said it was difficult to work with Mugabe as he does not give anybody with different ideas any chance.
On her exit from both Zanu-PF and government in December 2014, Mujuru said it was false that she was fired, saying she left voluntarily.
"I met Mugabe on the 1st of December 2014 and l told him that my hands were clean and that all the accusations against me were lies and that I was leaving. I bade him farewell," said Mujuru.
