Jane Mlambo| The Zanu PF Women’s League has today issued a strongly worded statement attacking former President Robert Mugabe over his birthday remarks in which he launched a vitriolic attack at his successor Emmerson Mnangagwa.

In a press statement issued this afternoon, the Women’s League Chairperson Mabel Chinomona said Mugabe’s remarks were calculated to bring instability in the country while putting Mnangagwa’s reputation into disrepute.

“The former President is totally ill-advised to allegedly use hostile media and propagate negative reports against the sitting President who for the past 37 years had high respect for him and was his deputy.

“We pray that Cde Robert Gabriel Mugabe in his old age should also respect our President and keep his composure as an old man. He may be reminded too that even during his Presidency not everything was totally perfect in his administration but women continued to support him,”
