Staff Reporter| Zimbabwe People First Leader Joice Mujuru says that she has joined the opposition to help Zimbabwe find a transition beyond ZANU PF.
Addressing civic society organisations and pastors in Bulawayo last week, Mujuru said that she was not there to stay but to help in the transition and then quickly retire from active politics.
“I am willing to bridge the transition between opposition and ruling parties as a National Transitional Authority leader. I want to rest, as I will be 62 in two months time,” she said
The former Vice President implored that it will be difficult for opposition parties to defeat ZANU PF without a coalition of the major opposition parties. She claimed the big opposition parties in the country right now are MDC-T and her ZimPF therefore a coalition with them was necessary.
“Though I and Morgan Tsvangirai are discussing trying to see which areas we differ, we are discussing finding ways to come together.
“Zanu PF thought MDC-T and Zim PF will be enemies, but we are not fighting.
“That is a good thing, a coalition is not something we do in a day or a month but the direction is quote positive,’ she said.
The former vice president confirmed ZimPF believes in a coalition as it gives confidence that Zanu PF can be beaten.
“Before we even talk of numbers, it gives security, and numbers are the last thing. A coalition will bring MDC-T and ZimPF together and all these other democratic parties then we can defeat Zanu PF because it has tricks,” she said.
She added, “I don’t know why people have the big brother mentality I respect democratic forces; Yes some parties are created by the system as long as you prove you are ready to work with us we are not trying to derail expectations of the people.”

How did you know that she was chased away from zanupf? Who doesn’t know that, don’t waste people’s time debating a dead donkey.
Joyce and many others fought the war of liberation, under zanupf, and we all know the rest. That is why there is a party called People First.
Whilst still at it, she could shed some light on how she and her late husband amassed their fortune!
Exactly!
Mai Mujuru does not care even if hundreds or thousands are killed in the coming elections as long as she gets a seat back on the gravy train. She will walk over the dead to get back on the train!
One of Mai Mujuru’s weakness is her political naivety!
She has spend 34 years in Zanu PF and she has never ever criticized all the corruption and murderous tyranny that took place. She has played he part in the tyranny as opposition politicians like Eliot Pfebve will readily testify. She has also taken her lion’s share of the absolute power and the looted wealth. And yet still claim that she saw nothing wrong through out those 34 years because her puppy eyes were closed.
“Puppies do not open their eyes the day they are born!” she said!
Now she is so desperate to get back on the gravy train, she will contest the elections regardless how flawed the process!
My concern with ZimPF is Mai Mujuru always says she was not part of the executive regards all critical issues that has affected our nation, so what experience that she says she has is she telling us we need from her that no one else in the oposition holds. Secondly what ZANU PF rigging tools does she say she knows how to counter? I mean look at bikita she did not even contest the results yet she claims they where rigging tactics which where used. Why should we trust that she will contest national result if they are rigged if she could not protect the voters in bikita from claimed rigging. I feel these critical areas need to be analysed or cleared.
Lies that you joined opposition parties to find a transition beyond Mugabe’s ZANU
– you were chased by your boss. Tell the nation the truth
