Ray Nkosi | There are unconfirmed reports that the Zanu PF faction aligned to First Lady Grace Mugabe, the G-40 group, is plotting a massive demonstration against Vice – President Emmerson Mnangagwa.

The warring factions within the ruling party are now openly baying for each other’s blood, with the most recent and vocal calls yet made just this week, by Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) leader, Julius Malema, who called on ‘Grandpa’, Robert Mugabe to step down.

Calls which were not only endorsed but repeated by Norton Member of Parliament, Temba Mliswa’s YARD. Mliswa told journalists recently that his relative Mnangagwa must take over power now, or risk being redundant in 2018.

In the new twist, an unconfirmed circular is doing the rounds, claims that the G-40 has mobilised its structures to protest against Mnangagwa, as President Mugabe arrives back home from his long leave tomorrow. A Mnangagwa defender Jones Musara took to social media to write; ” G40 has organised a demo to spite and embarrass Ngwena tomorrow when President Mugabe arrives.. T-shirts and banners have all been printed and ready. Manje Ngwena nesu vatsigiri vayo hativhundutswe neruzha.”

However, President Mugabe is also reported to be joining African Union leaders, who are expected to convene in the Ethiopian capital, Addis Ababa, from January 27 to 31 for the grouping’s 28th Summit.

Below is the unconfirmed circular;
