Mujuru should not be misled

A close analysis of the existing political landscape shows that some people want to use the former Vice President, Dr Joice Mujuru's name in order to fortify their political ambitions. These political malcontents include people like the former ZANU PF Secretary for Information and Publicity, Rugare Gumbo and former Secretary for Administration Didymus Mutasa.
The above mentioned failed politicians, who were thrown into the political dust bin, are masquerading as the proponents of Joice Mujuru's perceived party ZANU People First. We should take cognizance and realise that these people and their handful of supporters are misleading Mujuru to think that she has the guts to lead this country. The reality is that this small and ill formed political party will become a still birth.
All opposition political leaders in the likes of Edgar Tekere, Dumiso Dabengwa and Simba Makoni failed to make an impact to remove ZANU PF from power. Syllogism, that is deductive reasoning, indicates that Mujuru should not take these failed politicians seriously and remain quite. It would be foolish for her to be misled by people who were fired from ZANU PF. People like Rugare Gumbo have a history of being sellouts and it has been proven that the man is a buffoon of dubious revolutionary credentials.
Mujuru should remain steadfast and be faithful to the father of the nation, President Robert Mugabe. Woe to the so called Mujuru cabal for they are like white washed tombstones which are full of extortions and rapacity. The so called Mujuru cabal is full of power hungry people who have histories of being cruel to their subordinates. In Mashonaland East there is Ray Kaukonde who wanted to control the whole province and in Manicaland there is Didymus Mutasa.
Mujuru should ignore Mutasa's call for her to lead the new party as it would be composed of people who have lost the electorate's confidence. It would be prudent for the people who fail to make it in elections to simply step down and accept defeat. After all, Mutasa has no support in his home area and he used to bulldoze all the way to parliament as he used to argue that he belonged to the Presidium, hence, could not be contested.
If Mutasa is man enough he should contest for being the President himself not for him to forward Mujuru as their candidate. This shows that the man has run out of ideas and only wants to seek relevance to his fast dwindling political career. For Mujuru to maintain your legacy do away with opposition politics and concentrate on farming as there is life after politics after all.
