MDC Renewal leader Mr Tendai Biti has threatened war on the First Lady Amai Grace Mugabe for allegedly humiliating Vice President Dr Joice Mujuru during her “Meet The People” rallies held in the last two weeks. Mr Biti, who is former MDC-T secretary-general, becomes the second high-ranking opposition leader to incite and threaten war on the First Lady over the same issue following National Constitutional Assembly leader Professor Lovemore Madhuku’s utterances last week that he was prepared to go to war to prevent Amai Mugabe’s political ascendancy.
Mr Biti made the remarks while addressing his party’s structures last weekend, while Prof Madhuku was speaking at a policy dialogue held by the Southern African Political and Economic Series to analyse zanu-pf’s succession matrix.
“The hate speech by Grace (Amai Mugabe) will lead to one thing and one thing alone, war,” Mr Biti was quoted as saying.
“If one plants a storm, they will surely reap or harvest a tsunami. She has perfected the art of intolerance and politics of hate.
“She has poured vitriol against liberation war fighters and we will not take such things lightly. Grace has exposed what we have always suspected of Mugabe, that he hates himself for being African,” Mr Biti, who is on record belittling the liberation struggle, said.
Since Amai Mugabe rapped VP Mujuru for alleged corruption and abuse of office involving illicit diamond dealings, extorting shareholding from companies, demanding 10 percent bribes; undermining the authority of the President and having a hand in the formation of reactionary opposition parties like the MDC and Mavambo Kusile Dawn; opposition functionaries have been lining up to defend VP Mujuru while denigrating Amai Mugabe, a development analysts said pointed to a hitherto unknown relationship between the VP and the opposition parties.
The Mujuru-MDC/Mavambo axis thickened yesterday with Mavambo leader Dr Simba Makoni vowing that nothing could separate him from VP Mujuru amid revelations a network of opposition elements and some Zanu-PF MPs, most of whom were recently linked to receiving funding from a CIA operative at the US embassy in Harare, working on plans to petition the First Lady on behalf of the VP.
