MDC President Welshman Ncube has poked fun at President Mugabe describing him as a pathetic leader who failed to groom a successor for over 32 years.
Ncube said great leaders are distinguished by the mentoring people to take after them.
But with Mugabe who turned 88 last Tuesday "reflect a failed leader."
"If you failed to groom one person in 32 years and claim people behind you are chuff.
"The whites left us one thing that great leaders create other leaders. If you lead for 32 years and tell us that the ones behind you are all chuff confirms that you have been a disastrous leader," said Ncube in Nkayi.
He added, "If you fail to groom only one person, you say (Vice President Joice) Mujuru, (Vice President) John Nkomo and (Defence Minister Emmerson) Mnangagwa are all chuff. If you ruled with Ministers who are chuff how were you not going to fail to bring this country to its knees".
However, Zanu PF deputy spokesperson Cain Mathema said Ncube should "just shut up and go to sleep" and called him "a mass murderer"
"Ncube is a mass murderer as he is responsible for bringing sanctions to Zimbabwe when he was secretary general of the MDC.
"He is responsible for killing industry and livelihoods in Nkayi and every part of the country. He is just dreaming. He is crying crocodile tears and should just shut up and go to sleep," said Mathema.
