ZimFirst turns heat on Mujuru over 'stolen' party name

Zimbabwe First (ZimFirst) party leader Maxwell Zeb Shumba has threatened to take legal action against Zimbabwe People First (ZimPF) president Joice Mujuru, accusing her of "stealing" his party's name and manifesto.

In a letter dated September 18, Shumba gave Mujuru 10 working days to respond, failure of which he would take the matter to the courts.

Shumba, a former adviser to MDC-T leader Morgan Tsvangirai, alleged Mujuru had been ignoring his calls to resolve the issue amicably leaving him with no option, but to take the legal route. But ZimPF spokesperson Jealousy Mawarire said his party had not yet received the letter, adding Shumba was free to take the legal route.
