Controversial Zanu PF women's league secretary for finance, Sarah Mahoka, has launched another attack on embattled Vice President Emmerson Mnangagwa, suggesting he will never ascend to the presidency because he allegedly lacks a social base.
According to DailyNews Mahoka also all but accused Mnangagwa - among a litany of other thinly-disguised charges - of working feverishly to topple President Robert Mugabe from power.
Addressing thousands of Zanu PF supporters yesterday, at her latest no-holds-barred rally at Chikangwe Stadium in Karoi, Mahoka said pointedly that all senior party officials who were angling to succeed Mugabe would "definitely be disappointed".
Although Mahoka did not mention Mnangagwa by name throughout her address, she left little to the imagination that the beleaguered VP was the main target of her attack, the paper said.
"There are people who mislead some of our leaders that they have people and supporters when they have nothing. They want to lead when our president is still around. Down with them. We have only one president, VaMugabe chete (only)," she said.
"They (Zanu PF bigwigs) also go about saying Mugabe is old, yet they are as old as him, probably two years' difference," she said — also in apparent reference to Mnangagwa, who says he was born on September 15, 1942.
"They should go first. Others hold secret meetings in offices that they were given by Mugabe. They should be warned that the women's league is coming to destroy them," she added.
