Expelled Vice President Joice Mujuru plans to start her own party and challenge Robert Mugabe on the Presidency.
Sources told The Standard that plans to launch a political party were at an advanced stage and there was serious lobbying among Mujuru loyalists to embrace the idea. The party, the sources said, was likely to be launched before March this year.
“The plan is for Mujuru to form a political party. The push is coming especially from her supporters in Parliament. The idea is that if Mujuru forms a party, they (MPs) will either mobilise to resign enmasse or pass a vote-of-no-confidence in Mugabe. Parliament would then be dissolved and fresh elections called. Mujuru will then challenge Mugabe.”
“Mujuru will be the leader of the party whose active officials would be new and young party members while those old and experienced members would form the elders’ council, giving direction to the youngsters.”
But War veterans leader and Minister of Welfare Services for War Veterans, Ambassador Christopher Mutsvangwa said Zanu-PF would not lose sleep.
Said Ambassador Mutsvangwa: “That will be a party of discredited renegades who spent more than 10 years at the centre of power in Zimbabwe who did everything in their capacity to ruin the economy as a ticket to power.
“They are really beyond their last political tether and completely wasted because there is no hope of a political party coming from the useless bunch. Anyone who would ever want to associate with them is assured of political suicide. Zanu-PF is too strong and resilient, so there is no future outside Zanu-PF.”
He said Mujuru should shoulder the blame for economic problems bedevilling the country. “She is the actual author of the economic meltdown which involved an engineered gigantic capital flight, hyper- inflation and subsequent disappearance of the Zimbabwean dollar as national currency,” he said.
“Her ex-Rhodesian business associates were the main culprits. They were assisted by suicidal monetary policies of a complicit RBZ which was under influence of CATO INSTITUTE of extreme right Tea Party Movement.
“The ideological godfather of the economic meltdown is Steve Hanke whose Zimbabwe disciple is Dr Gideon Gono, a political associate of ex-VP Joice Mujuru. She superintended all sectors of the economy during that fatefully painful period of unprecedented economic pain for the general populace of Zimbabwe. She had wrestled away all important decisions of Cabinet during that epoch.
“All the pain the nation was subjugated to lies squarely on her lap as the woman czar at the helm of the Zimbabwean economy. Her illiteracy ,both literary and economic, plunged Zimbabwe into economic hell.”
He added: “Now Zanu-PF is in good riddance of this rubbish prone to treacherous tendencies. It is moving fast to revive the economy, fast Gross Domestic Product growth and bright employment opportunities of a hardworking, well-educated youthful population.
“There just won’t be any more space for political ciphers of the likes of Mujuru, (Didymus) Mutasa and (Rugare) Gumbo.” – The Standard

why are you scared? let Mujuru form her party and we shall see who will win the real elections. People have a right to support whatever party they wish to. Mujuru is zimbabwean and she has a right to form her party if she so wishes. Mutsvangwa why are you scared and why do you want to scare anyone who wants to support Mujuru. Mutsvangwa were you/are you not a member of the zanupf that has brought the country’s economy down to its knees. Why do you want to blame Mujuru alone. What good did the other zanupf crook leaders do and what are you doing right now Mutsvangwa.Let the people choose for themselves….Mujuru has the support Mutsvangwa.I know you do not want to hear this but the woman has the support yepovho zvisina chitsotsi.She will win the elections whether you like it or not Mutsvangwa. mai mujuru tinemi pamberi nemi…you are a wise woman who understands that parties need to work in harmony and not be enemies. Mai mujuru is a better devil than imi mese muzanu yenyu iyoyo. last but not least tagara toziva kuti uri dofo but hatina kuziva kuti uri dofo rinosvika ikoko..economics wakambonzwawo nezvadzo

What we want is someone who can take Mugabe head on,(MAI MUJURU) and since takambobirira 2013 vote yevanhu tese, we are aware of how it was rigged, zanu tsvagai dzimwe means . Mutsvangwa uchamama, chete.
Doesn’t seem very wise to me. Why another party? Has been tried before countless times… and failed. Zanu PF is ripe for destruction from within, this is one strategy that Matibili and the first hoe are not ready for!
@ Minister C Mutsvangwa
Of all the nonsense that has come out of Minister Mutsvangwa blaming Mujuru for Zimbabwe’s economic meltdown takes the biscuit. First the Minister calls Mujuru “the woman czar at the helm of the Zimbabwean economy”. We all know how Mugabe is such a control freak he has never allowed anyone else to exercise any meaningful power much less to be the Czar of anything.
The Minister admits that Mujuru is “illiteracy, both literary and economic,” which is in fact exactly why Mugabe promoted her to be VP; the tyrant loves to surround himself with incompetent and useless individuals because they are no threat to his
strangle hold on power. And so Mugabe who does not as a rule allow anyone else to have a look-in on anything allowed the illiterate to have total control of the economy all these years plunging “Zimbabwe into economic hell”! What could be more nonsensical than that!

All MDC supporters who had been orphaned by the demise of MDC will now find a home,
All Zanu PF supporters who had been frustrated by the new Zanu Pf structure will now find a home.
Even the Americans who were too embarrassed to just accept the Zanu pf (having being left with no choice) and other regime change western partners who could also not find where else to put their money on, will now find a home.
Huge stacks against Zanu Pf, so what will Zanu PF which is under siege do – dig in (kucharohwa munhu semunhu). Remember Zanu has survived worse situation than this in between 2007 and 2009.

Mutsvangwa and all those remaining in the downfalling Zanu-Pf, u are all idiots and blinds led by Mugabe the chief blind. Mujuru is equally to blame for the problems we have today, yes, Mugabe knew she was illiterate, both literary and economically when he gave her the post, yes, the current cabinet has nothing developmental to offer, yes, the current leadership is clueless, power grabbing and power hungry, yes, Zanu-pf is afraid of competition, yes, the formation of Mujuru’s party will make Zanu-pf lose sleep, yes, You and other morons will keep licking Mugabe’s wrinkled ass for political favors, yes, u and other morons were not elected by any Zimbabwean, even ur boss Bob, yes, u r subverting the will of the people of Zimbabwe, yes, Zimbabweans last loved Zanu-pf about 20years ago, yes. Mutsvangwa u r less a man to stand up to the cowardice of Mugabe, to tell him straight how ordinary people are suffering when only bootlickers have a life amongst millions of impoverished families. Any party but Zanu people will vote for and that will surely make u lose sleep.
