In what analysts say is a desperate attempt to appease President Robert Mugabe by destroying expelled VP Joice Mujuru, several senior government officials who have worked with Mujuru have been sent home on President Robert Mugabe’s instructions as police this week launched a pre-Christmas raid on Mujuru’s pool of companies.
This development came as several loopholes were revealed in the Mujuru police saga in which she is being accused of a pile of crimes chief of them being undermining the authority of the President, a charge however the Mugabes evidently formulated after spying on Mujuru’s bedroom during her private intimate time (READ MORE-  ).
A team of senior detectives  were on Monday deployed to raid firms linked to former Vice President Joice Mujuru as investigations into allegations of corruption and abuse of office leveled against her intensify. The team has since begun the clampdown which sources say is being led by Chief Superintendent Luckson Mukazhi. “The team has visited some of the companies to carry out investigations on the matter. They are yet to present their findings to police officers at Police General Headquarters,” an impeccable source said yesterday.
The sources quoted by the State Media could not, however, shed light on the preliminary findings fearing this could jeopardise investigations.
Last Thursday, police were issued with warrants by the courts to search Mujuru and companies linked to her after she was fired from Government for behaviour inconsistent with the discharge of her duties.
Provincial magistrate Mr Vakai Chikwekwe issued the warrants in his chambers.
This followed Police Commissioner-General Augustine Chihuri’s warning that they would investigate all cases of corruption without fear or favour as directed by President Mugabe.
Mugabe slammed Mujuru and her cabal at the just-ended Zanu-PF 6th National People’s Congress for engaging in acts of corruption and abuse of office also warning that all those involved in corruption would be prosecuted.
Since then, 16 Government ministers and some deputies have been fired.
Mujuru reportedly extorted shareholding in firms, demanding 10 percent bribes, illicit dealings in diamonds and gold, attempting to defeat the course of justice, extorting investors, undermining the authority of President Mugabe and seeking to depose him through unconstitutional means.
The First Lady Grace Mugabe attacked Mujuru during her Meet the People tours between September and November in what the State Media claims was a criminal exposure.
