Grace Mugabe’s anti Mujuru campaign reached a climax when yesterday she deployed a Ndebele speaking guru to pump up her message to Vice President Joice Mujuru that the latter must go, and “there is no point of return.”
Mrs Mugabe has before revealed already that she speaks in tongues when sending strong messages to people. “Whenever I speak to you, you may not understand me, because I speak in mighty tongues”.
The development comes after analysts revealed it will be difficult for Mugabe to remove Joice from office even though he has removed her from the party. The constitution restricts Mugabe, analysts claim. One guru said:
“(1) The Senate and the National Assembly, by a joint resolution passed by at least one-half of their total membership, may resolve that the question whether or not the President or a Vice-President should be removed from office for—
(a) serious misconduct;
(b) failure to obey, uphold or defend this Constitution;
(c) wilful violation of this Constitution; or
(d) inability to perform the functions of the office because of physical or mental incapacity;
should be investigated in terms of this section.
(2) Upon the passing of a resolution in terms of subsection (1), the Committee on Standing Rules and Orders must appoint a joint committee of the Senate and the National Assembly consisting of nine members reflecting the political composition of Parliament, to investigate the removal from office of the President or Vice-President, as the case may be.
(3) If—
(a) the joint committee appointed in terms of subsection (2) recommends the removal from office of the President or Vice-President; and
(b) the Senate and the National Assembly, by a joint resolution passed by at least two-thirds of their total membership, resolve that the President or Vice-President, as the case may be, should be removed from office;
the President or Vice-President thereupon ceases to hold office.”
Yesterday Grace Mugabe’s campaign team deployed the dreaded youth leader Absalom Sikhosana aside her century-old husband struggling to speak, to reinforce her message using a ancient Ndebele dialect at the ZANU PF Congress. (See video)
A linguist commented that what Grace is doing is utilising a multi-pronged cluster of threatening phrases and other vocalisations to disable Mujuru’s confidence among her followers countrywide.
