Mugabe meeting Mujuru story is nonsense

We have been alerted that there are Zanu-PF propagandists and security services personnel who have been assigned to fabricate and plant dubious stories in the local media to the effect that Dr Joice Mujuru is still Zanu-PF and that she intends on re-joining the faction-riddled and internally decaying political outfit.
This is a well-orchestrated campaign that was initially supposed to be launched through some website, hosted abroad, to inculcate a political perception that Dr Mujuru is Zanu-PF to the core and that her soon-to-be launched party, its policies, guiding principles and ideology are fundamentally Zanu-PF.
After this plan was exposed, the schemers within Zanu-PF, working closely with some elements in the security sector, resorted to planting fictitious stories in the local media hence the frantic efforts to have the media publish 'details' of a purported meeting between Dr Mujuru and Zanu-PF President, Robert Mugabe.
This information is being purveyed as "a top secret" that the targeted journalists are cunningly 'urged' not to report on.
Unfortunately, one local publication has fallen for the trap and went ahead to publish 'a scoop' on a meeting between Dr Mujuru and Mugabe which never took place even in dreams.
We seek to set the record straight herein, that Dr Mujuru last met Mugabe on 01 December 2014, a day before Mugabe's party held its congress and no other meeting between the two, or their representatives, has taken place subsequently.
Dr Mujuru has no intentions to meet Mugabe or go back to Zanu-PF as she is busy putting in place a strong political entity that will provide a platform for Zimbabweans, in our diversity and with the multiplicity of our skills, to turn around our economy, rehabilitate our service delivery system, restore hope to our long suffering people and provide jobs and better livelihoods to the thousands of college and university graduates that the current government has condemned to perpetual poverty and destitution.
We seek to reiterate that Dr Mujuru is at work, as she has been since leaving Zanu-PF, putting in place a people's movement that would restore dignity to the honest Zimbabwean industrialist, civil servant, farmer, small-to-medium entrepreneur, inter alia, who has been suffering under an investor unfriendly economic environment characterised by policy inconsistency and a debilitating tax regime.
We reiterate that Dr Mujuru and all progressive Zimbabweans working with her will not be distracted from charting a trajectory that will return our country to economic prosperity through a people-centred political formation whose primary goal is to restore dignity to our people through providing mechanisms for economic sustainability rooted in an inclusive socio-economic and political system.
No amount of lies, or infertile imaginations, are going to stop the people's movement.
