Farai Dziva|Professor Jonathan Moyo has revealed why former President Robert Mugabe wanted Sydney Sekeramayi to succeed him.

The outspoken politician said contrary to claims that Mugabe’s intention was to elevate his wife Grace to the Presidency, Sekeramayi was and is still regarded as a level headed figure in the party.

” It wasn’t going to be a Mugabe/Sekeremayi issue in those simplistic terms.

You are reducing the discussion to the level of simpletons. Zanu PF needed a Kibaki, to calm the older (Maputo) generation while inspiring the new generation (to takeover from him) and Sekeremayi was one,”said Moyo.
