'Mess with Mugabe and we'll go to war'

As Zanu-PF's deadly tribal ,factional successional wars get uglier ,the party's  youths have warned disgruntled former freedom fighter  and other allies of vice president Emerson Mnangagwa that they are prepared to  defend president Robert Mugabe.

Zanu-PF youths league Kudzanai Chipanga  said they were now so angry with the ongoing savage  attacks on Mugabe  by some sections of the former liberation  movement that they would go  to war  to defend the under siege non agrarian.

The youth ominous warning  comes as the party's  two major factions, the generation 40  group and team Lacoste have recently escalated  their succession  fights, particularly since images showing  Mnangagwa with the words "I am a the boss" emerged over the festive season.
