Former Zanu-PF Mashonaland East provincial chair Ray Kaukonde has fled to South Africa after being linked to a plot to topple President Mugabe and replace him with Vice-President Joice Mujuru.President Mugabe yesterday revealed: “We hear Kaukonde is now in South Africa. That is why he is not here.”
Kaukonde is believed to be the main financier of the Mujuru faction. His centrality to the plot to unseat President Mugabe was first publicly revealed by First Lady and Zanu-PF Women’s League boss Grace Mugabe, who also accused him of prodding former Politburo member Dr Simba Makoni to rebel and form an opposition party.
He — together with VP Mujuru and former secretary for administration Didymus Mutasa — did not attend the 6th Zanu-PF Congress that ended in Harare.
Mugabe has refused to accept results of Mash East central committee elections saying it contained people linked to Kaukonde. Some Mashonaland East delegates were heard whispering that Sydney Sekeramayi and Simbaneuta Mudarikwa were among the “bad apples that spoiled the basket”.
A larger group went on to denounce those presented to the President. President Mugabe said: “You are the only province that has raised this concern. But these are the people you gave us. We now hear that tadzorera vanhu vaKaukonde.
“If you say they did not come from you, who then elected them? We will do as you wish by making sure new elections are held. We will send representatives to assist you in this matter.”
Mujuru had toyed with the idea of showing up at the National Heroes Acre where former ambassador, Kotsho Dube was buried. But in the end she chickened out. – ZBC

@ massenger of God uri dog chaiyo unotaura bullshit
she is not my mother. period
We haven’t seen the end of this exciting movie!! The first family will be the show-stopper as the last victims of all this self-cannibalism theatre!! We all serve a very just and fair God. I just pray that all those who are now left out in the cold could be learning some valuable life lessons from this experience!!!
Uchifirei hako Kaukonde …tiza urarame. The irony is that the same SA govt that supports Mugabe also shields his enemies.
I am surprised by Mai Mujuru’s dangerously naive apporach to her situation. Since she had stayed away from the rubbish insults from Mugabe’s praise and worship ceremony dumped a congress she must have maintained keeping away from these hooligans. She could have talked to Kotsho’s wife later. She is extremely naive. Even her “education” is not evident from her behaviour. She reacts like a Standard 3 of the 1960s. Politics is not a religion and can never be like a family structure.
You are telling me you can’t read the sarcasm by “Messenger Of God”? Why take everything so literally?

Yes, Dr. Mugabe is adorable and she is another blessing from above to help lead us into the future. She is a humble, loving and gentle soul with brilliant leadership qualities. We are not worthy of her greatness. She is our dear Mother and we are her humble children and we adore her in every way. May she rule us forever and ever.
