ZANU PF politburo member and Higher Education minister Jonathan Moyo has warned that former Vice-President Joice Mujuru could still be dragged to court for offences she allegedly committed during her tenure as a government official.
Mujuru, who now leads the opposition Zimbabwe People First (ZimPF) party, was stampeded out of Zanu PF and government at the tail-end of 2014 on a litany of charges among them corruption, extortion and plotting to assassinate President Robert Mugabe.
However, she has denied the charges, and told her party supporters at a campaign rally in Harare last Saturday that she was hounded out of the ruling party and government over her anti-corruption stance.
At the weekend, Mujuru dared her rivals to prove the graft allegations levelled against her.
“Up to this day, we have not gone to jail, neither have we been stopped by police at the numerous roadblocks that we go through on a daily basis. Everything they said about me was a lie,” she said.
But Moyo, on Twitter, took a pot shot at Mujuru, saying her past criminal activities would subsist until the law has taken its course.
“The whole world knows that’s a lie,” he said.
“Mujuru did not want corruption exposed. Have you forgotten her Chinhoyi audio?”
Moyo was referring to a February 2014 speech made by Mujuru at the Zanu PF women’s league conference in Chinhoyi months following the explosion of what became known as the salary-gate scandal.
Mujuru at the time said the anti-corruption fight then and the salary-gate scandal were meant to destroy Zanu PF from within.
ZimPF spokesperson, Jealousy Mawarire yesterday accused Moyo of misinterpreting Mujuru’s speech.
“He (Moyo) should have picked Mujuru’s speech in its context. What Mujuru meant was that there was a danger that the anti-corruption fight could be used by those in power and influence in political battles,” he said.
“Now, given the events in Zanu PF in the aftermath of the February 2014 speech, it could be argued that Mujuru was actually vindicated.” – Newsday

Just arrest her. From last year barking the same story. Subject her to some persecution like what you did to Tsvangison. Baptise her the way you always do. Or you have lost your teeth. Or you are afraid of her.

I’m starting to believe this Prof. Musoro Bangu is simply a joker, a proper clown by some good measure. First of all he does not appear to hold any formidable doctrine, he literally stands for nothing, just about everything in his belief system has no meaning, does not make any sense. The level of his bootlicking comes in as bizarre doses as his ill concieved big sounding utterances. One is tempted to think his perspective probably lies along the continuum between egocentricism and narcissism but far from it, instead exhibits all the hallmarks of a lame duck queueing to enter Chikurubi prison. I’m not sure why he chooses to fight fire with fire where others would rather use water. Last time it was political banter….don’t know what it is this time round, if ever he has any care to tell us before he goes inside….. the clock is ticking, Chigumbura will still be there mind you mr Prof.!

Why go on twitter if you can arrest her. Go ahead. This is evidence that these ZANU PF thugs are practicing selective justice and arresting people at will. Why are they not arresting Mai Mujuru if she has committed an offence? Is this going to be triggered by the great grandfather Robert Mugabe getting angry? Shame on you. That will be a good precedence. Who is not a thief in ZANU PF? After independence in 2018, we will have lot of these ZANU PF thugs behind bars if they want to play with fire. A professor who can not see beyond an hour is just as good nothing.
