There was an attempt to assassinate the newly appointed Zanu PF Vice President Emmerson Mnangagwa Wednesday morning, President Robert Mugabe sensationally reported.
Yes Mugabe has push the self-destruct button in Zanu PF but this is going too far!
The nation has just heard the news Mnangagwa will be the next VP and already there has been an attempt to assassinate him.
Mugabe has never trusted Mnangagwa and hence the reason he rigged the Zanu PF electoral process in 2004 that would have seen him appointed VP ahead of Mujuru. It is naive to think that Mugabe has since fallen head-over-heels in love with him. Having just destroyed Mujuru and her faction, there was no other faction to counter balance the Mnangagwa faction and so Mugabe had no choice but to give Mnangagwa the crown this time.
Giving him the crown was one thing but if he could stop him wearing it, that would be priceless!
Of course, Mnangagwa will have his own list of suspects and I will bet I know who is at the top of that list!
Mnangagwa is due to be sworn into office on Friday at this rate he will have to bring his own Bible to the ceremony in case there is a bomb in the official one!
