Zanu-PF has split into four factions

A senior opposition official in Zimbabwe is alleging that President Robert Mugabe's Zanu-PF party has now split into at least four factions.

So serious has factional fighting become within Zanu-PF that Mugabe 92 last month described it as treasonous.

Eddie Cross of the MDC-T said the number of cracks within Zanu-PF was the main difference between the ruling party as it was in 2008. He said media has been so focused on the two factions but he believes there were other two factions that have formed.

Cross did not spell out who was part of the other two factions.
