Zimbabwean group in SA campaign for Mujuru's murder

A group of Zimbabweans living in South Africa is reportedly circulating a highly disturbing campaign urging fellow Zimbabweans to kill former Vice President Joice Mujuru when she lands in South Africa next week.

Mujuru, now leading a new political formation, Zimbabwe People First, is expected to address a series of meetings with Zimbabweans in South Africa next week beginning in Pretoria on the 14th of April.

According to information circulating online, the message urges Zimbabweans no to attend Mujuru's rallies accusing her of being the reason why they are living in the diaspora ever since her hay days when she was still vice to President Robert Mugabe.

"Zimbabweans please don't attend the meeting organised by Joice Mujuru of ZPF on 14 April 2016 in Pretoria. We are appealing to those who can put the law into their hands to do so by killing or assaulting her including her organisers," reads the inflammatory circular.

The note riles Zimbabweans not to be "fooled" by Mujuru's new party. According to the writers, Mujuru was dismissed from Zanu PF for her corruption and now claims to be coming in to perform better than Mugabe.

"Refuse to be used, Enough is Enough. Mujuru must go with Zanu PF," reads the note.

Sources within the Zimbabwe People First in South Africa attribute the source of the note to Zanu PF supporters in South Africa.

There is serious rivalry between Zanu PF and Mujuru's ZimPF supporters in South Africa which are threatening to generate into violent clashes.

Comment could not be obtained from Mujuru nor her spokesperson Rugare Gumbo.
