Formation of Mujuru party will be the demise of Zanu PF - cobras will not wrestle but bite!

Didymus Mutasa says that he together with Mai Mujuru and others are going to form a new political party. He warned that the proposed new party would rock the ruling party since it had the backing of key figures in the security establishment as well as former Zipra and Zanla commanders.
"We want to have a party, but we are still talking about it. We are with Mai Mujuru, Rugare Gumbo and all those who were removed from the party," he told a privately-owned radio station.
"It is many of us from different oppositional parties such as Simba Makoni, Dumiso Dabengwa and a lot of others who were no longer supporting Zanu PF."
So it has taken 34 years and being kicked out of Zanu PF for these Mujuru morons to finally open their eyes and see Zanu PF for the corrupt and oppressive party it is. Whilst we welcome that they have finally opened their eyes still these morons should come clean on all their past by giving back what they have looted, confessing their role in the beatings, rapes and murderers and most important of all how Mugabe and Zanu PF have rigged past elections. Unless they do that the nation will never be fooled into accepting these morons as anything else other than Zanu PF thugs in new regalia. They have opened their eyes now because they have been kicked off the gravy train. They know that they need to win the people's confidence again if they are to get back in power and the gravy train; as soon as they are back these eyes will once again be superglued shut! Zanu PF was always destined to collapse because the party has had no core values or ideology at its centre other than to hold on to political power and all the loot it brought at all cost. Now with the national economy in total meltdown there is very little wealth to loot. Party members are now fighting like hyenas for the little loot left and hence the party imploding. "Media dreams of a split will come to grief not least because the nefarious pursuits of expelled malcontents in the wilderness cannot be rationally described as a split," scoffed Zanu PF spin doctor, Professor Moyo. Of course the Professor was putting a brave face.
Whilst it is true that the breakaway group will never add up to anything much politically because the members are as much to blame for the country's mess as the thugs who still continue to follow Mugabe. Still the fact that this purge has resulted in a VP, 17 cabinet members and several provincial leaders being forced out of office cannot be dismissed as none event. This is a very significant split in Zanu PF and one from which the party will probably never recover.
Worse still for Mugabe, the faction he had cobbled together to ouster Mai Mujuru is already showing signs of disunity as the fight for power continue. Mugabe has not helped matters by announcing that the race to find his successor is still wide open and thus undermining VP Mnangagwa's position who thought he was the heir apparent after the December 2014 appointments. Professor Jonathan Moyo must know that he is still considered a "weevil" by his fellow faction leaders including Mugabe himself and he must know that it was not Didymus Mutasa who had the pesticide, gamatox!
Ever since 1980 when Mugabe abandoned Zanu PF's key values of freedom, justice, human rights and dignity to establish this self-serving Zanu PF dictatorship the party was doom to collapse. The purge of Mai Mujuru and all those who supported her last year constitute a significant split of the party and will help accelerate the demise of the party.
Each faction of Zanu PF thinks it will emerge out of the split as the dominant side but this is all wishful thinking because after decades of corruption and tyrannical rule neither faction can ever lay claim to stand for freedom, justice and all the human values the nation has been dying for all these years. The new Zanu PF People First proposed by Mai Mujuru will not add up to much other than it will help in the demise of corrupt and tyrannical Zanu PF dictatorship we have known for 35 years!
