Mujuru's ouster a well-choreographed move personally planned by Mugabe

The ouster of former Vice President and now Zimbabwe People First leader Joice Mujuru from both the ruling Zanu PF and the government was a well-choreographed move that was personally planned by President Robert Mugabe, a former Zanu PF youth official has claimed.

Godfrey Tsenengamu said party followers including youths were pushed by Mugabe to attack the popular widow of the reverend late liberation struggle icon General Solomon Mujuru.

A purged former Zanu PF youth leader has refused to go down without a fight, claiming President Robert Mugabe personally plotted former Vice President Joice Mujuru's ouster and forced youths to rehearse the trumped up assassination and witch craft charges before they took her head on at the State House on August 15, 2014.

Godfrey Tsenengamu spilled the beans in a hard hitting statement, saying he now regretted being used as a pawn in Mugabe's power games. Mujuru was kicked out of the party in December 2014 following a sustained campaign led by Grace Mugabe.

She is now the leader of Zimbabwe People First.
