Vice-President Emmerson Mnangagwa's ejection from Zanu PF has just been temporarily shelved but is still on the agenda.
Mnangagwa, who has been under fire from a group within Zanu PF that has been pushing for his ouster, on Friday received public support from those perceived to be baying for his political blood, including the First Lady Grace Mugabe, who has in the past made thinly-veiled attacks and threats to kick him out.
Zanu PF women's league said on Friday they had postponed their demand for a woman VP until the next congress. But war veterans who have openly called for Mnangagwa to succeed Mugabe have questioned the sincerity of the 92-year-old leader and his wife on their messages of peace and reconciliation within the ruling party.
They said Mugabe should first discipline officials who publicly attacked and humiliated Mnangagwa instead of blaming so-called rumour-mongers for allegedly peddling falsehoods with regards to his relationship with the VPs.
