VOA|Former Zanu-PF secretary for administration, Didymus Mutasa, says the centre of power in Zanu-PF has shifted and First Lady, Grace Mugabe, is now firmly in control of party affairs.
The 285th ordinary session of the Politburo on Wednesday expelled Mutasa and Hurungwe West Member of Parliament
Temba Mliswa soon after the return of Grace from Singapore.
Mutasa told VOA Studio 7’s Blessing Zulu in an interview, “There is no doubt from what is going on that at the present moment, that the center of their power is going to be the first lady and we find that very absurd. It has never happened anywhere that, that kind of arrangement should be the case. One of us once talked about it, way back Jabulani Sibanda intimated that what had happened was a bedroom coup, and he was dragged to court and he is still waiting to be sentenced.
“You see at yesterday’s (Wednesday) Politburo meeting the first lady sat as a member of the presidium, but you see in terms of our constitution, the secretary for Women’s Affairs, which the late Sally Mugabe was, never sat at the top table, but when she comes in for the first Politburo meeting, she seats at the top table, well it gives us an assumption that they are probably prepared for her to be the center of power.”
Party spokesman Simon Khaya Moyo said the two were fired for insubordination. But Mutasa said he does not recognise the expulsion. – VOA

Yes and 76% of the same optimistic Zimbabweans are now living in abject poverty! Just because Mugabe has denied them a meaningful democratic voice does not mean they do not know they are being short changed!

It’s your democratic to be such an incurable pessimist but, thank heavens, the majority of Zimbos are optimists and will persevere kusvika zvanaka!!
And just to interrogate your lazy thinking: why pick on Grace alone to get the economy ticking??!! Isn’t it common sense that for the country to prosper EVERYONE has to put their shoulder to the wheel??!!

The greatest threat to Mugabe’s hold on power in 35 years is not the MDC or Mai Mujuru but the economy. Mugabe was able to cheat and bamboozle his political opponents but has failed to rig economic recovery.
Of all people to have help him retain power Mugabe could not have picked a more useless person than Grace. What does she know on the economy?
