“Jump Now”, Mujuru Woos Former Zanu PF Allies
14 July 2016
Jump now or risk irrelevance former vice president, Joice Mujuru, has warned her former ZANU-PF allies who wish to join her party, some of them who seem to be double dealing in the two camps.
She urged them to quickly make up their minds or risk being left by the wayside, if they are willing to join her Zimbabwe People First (ZPF).
In an interview with a local weekily this week, Mujuru lashed out at those who are toying with the decision to join her party, saying she would not wait for them to take their sweet time.
“Some have openly said they are no longer in good books with me and why would I want to cling to such people,” she said, giving the clearest indication yet of how relations have soured among her allies since the fateful December 2014 congress.
Warning those sitting on the fence she added: “I want to work with someone who would make up their minds and say we are in this together, not the one who says don’t worry, I will work with you when such a time comes. That person would be lying.
“I want somebody who would just tell you the truth. Those still in ZANU-PF, if they want to call it a day, they must call it a day and must come out in the open to say, Mai Mujuru, let’s work together. That’s the person I want to work with, who makes a decision. Others made their decision and said ‘my dear, take your own way, I take mine.’ That one I will respect, not those who are fence sitters. They are difficult to work with,” she said.
Over 200 ZANU-PF officials were either chucked out or suspended from the ruling party for their alleged association with her.
ZANU-PF has inadvertently revealed how popular and influential Mujuru had been in the ruling party by expelling and suspending hundreds of its senior officials, on allegations that they were plotting to dethrone President Robert Mugabe.
ZANU-PF Politburo member, Jonathan Moyo, one of the foremost anti-Mujuru campaigners, actually later dismissed Mujuru’s coup plot allegations as mere political banter.
The purge affected over half of the ZANU-PF Politburo and Central Committee, the two highest organs of the party and virtually deflated Cabinet, representing her immense influence. Financial Gazette
