Revelations are now being made almost four years after the death of General Solomon Mujuru the husband to the disposed vice president Joice Mujuru that he might have been killed because he had indicated that he was in charge of the country in 2005 because President Robert Mugabe was then running scared.

The insiders in Zanu-PF have exposed that General Mujuru reportedly told Zimplats boss in 2005 that he was running the country because Mugabe had become unstable

"The litany of charges leveled against former Zimbabwe African National Union-Patriotic Front Vice- President Joice Mujuru when she was expelled from the party read like sour grapes," insiders have exposed through social media."If she was so mischievous and insubordinate for a decade why did the party keep her for so long, most people are bound to ask?"

The insiders said the answer is simple. That is how Zanu-PF leader Mugabe works.

"Mugabe is like a lion after its prey. It watches. It waits. Sometimes the lion even looks as if it is not interested in the prey, lulling it, until it feels that this is the right moment and it pounces and catches its prey," said the insiders. "Mugabe listens, but more importantly, he waits. His patience sometimes irritates his friends and critics, like he did in the run-up to last year's congress as his wife tore into his deputy, Joice. When he finally spoke, all hell broke loose."

According to the Zanu-PF National Disciplinary Committee, Mai Mujuru was expelled because she began working against party interests and Mugabe together with her husband ever since she was elected Vice-President at the party congress in 2004.

To many, this was difficult to swallow because Mai Mujuru was catapulted by Mugabe from nowhere. There was heavy resistance to her elevation which culminated in the Tsholotsho (Dinyane) Declaration under which a parallel leadership was set up to prevent Mujuru from taking over.

The plot had so much support that six of the 10 party provincial chairmen were suspended for supporting it. Key people allegedly behind the Tsholotsho plot were Jonathan Moyo and Patrick Chinamasa who were allegedly doing it for Emmerson Mnangagwa.

"The claim that Mai Mujuru was against the party from way back in 2004 was so nonsensical that one reader of The Herald, identified only as Mapfungi, commented on Mujuru's expulsion: "Whatever lies you tell us about Mujuru we don't care. We will vote for her if she form(s) her own party," the insiders have revealed.

 Zanu-PF stupidity has become the order of how one relate to issues of good governance.

"Lies, lies, lies, lies, peddled by those who have no history in the party," said the insider. "African politics is undergoing a revolution that cannot be stopped. Look at Zambia, and now Nigeria. Zanu-PF has lost the plot, about time we witnessed an alternative voice!"

According to a diplomatic cable released under by Wikileaks, the former army commander, Solomon Mujuru, told platinum boss Greg Sebborn, six months after his wife became Vice-President, that he was now running the country on a day-to-day basis because Mugabe had become "unstable".

Some commentators said Mujuru is a really game changer in politics as her expulsion has changed the politics of the country due top her credibility when it comes to true veteran ship and diplomacy in doing things.
