President Mugabe yesterday revealed that Vice President Joice Mujuru and her cabal had plans to assassinate him and engaged n’angas in their pursuit for power.
He said this while opening a Zanu-PF Central Committee meeting at the party’s headquarters on the second day of the ongoing 6th National People’s Congress.
VP Mujuru and her allies, secretary for administration Didymus Mutasa and Secretary for Transport and Welfare Nicholas Goche — who have been implicated in the plot to oust the President — were again conspicuous by their absence, marking the third straight indaba they have missed after last week’s Politburo meeting, the one held Tuesday and yesterday’s Central Committee meeting.
“VaMutasa, he he he he ndaibvunza chairman (Cde Simon Khaya Moyo) kuti asi manga marangana here? Vaiiti ini ndichazoda kutora chigaro chehuchairman ndikati aah zvachine munhu aripo akakuudzai kuti arikubviswa ndiyani?
“Ava (Cde Khaya Moyo) vanga vasingarambi kuti vanoda kuti vasimudzirwe, vaibvuma. Zvino vamwe ndivo vakanga vasvika pamweya wakashata. Ambition idzodzi kana dzisingaitike, vanhu vakuda kutsvaga nzira dzekuti zviitike nhasi. Let’s get the President out of the way so tobva tazouya nezvekuti aah kana kushudha tingamushudhe (Cde Mutasa, he he he he, I used to ask the national chairman (Cde Khaya Moyo) whether they had agreed that he relinquish his post for Cde Mutasa who said he would assume the post of national chairman. And I said there is no vacancy there, who told you that he will be removed? Cde Khaya Moyo did not make it a secret that he wanted to be elevated but the others had adopted evil intentions that stopped at nothing even having me shot).
“Handizvo, tiri paZim-Asset imi mune ndangariro iyoyo iri kuenda tome isu vamwe tiri kufa tichiti right vana (Patrick) Chinamasa vana (Joseph) Made tasvika papi ku industry tasvika papi?
“Vamwe ndoohope dzavari kurara idzodzo madreams avari kuita iwawo, dreams of power,” he said.
(Is that what we should be thinking about when we have Zim-Asset and while others are looking for resources to improve the economy.)’’
Cde Mutasa and expelled former spokesperson Rugare Gumbo were quoted saying if President Mugabe blocked VP Mujuru’s ascendancy, he will be shot and deposed the Kabila way. Former DRC president Laurent-Désiré Kabila was assassinated by a member of his security team on January 18, 2001.
President Mugabe said following Zanu-PF’s resounding victory in last year’s elections, most people thought the party was united yet VP Mujuru and her allies were colluding with the MDC-T and had tried to postpone the holding of the elections.
“And we all thought that we were united from top to bottom and that there were no machinations amongst us, but allas, we were deceived, we did not know that as we went to elections some of us from the top did not want those elections at all
“Ko maelections ndeeyi? Inclusive Government taita toda kuramba takadaro. We did not know that views were being shared between some of us in Zanu-PF at the top and the MDC,” he said.
A key member of the Mujuru faction, Cde Kudakwashe Bhasikiti — who is also Provincial Affairs Minister for Masvingo province — was recently quoted in the Masvingo Mirror saying the inclusive Government worked better than the all Zanu-PF government that followed last year’s harmonised elections.
President Mugabe said because of VP Mujuru’s machinations a lot of party cadres had been hoodwinked into following her plots thinking they were preparing for their future.
“And vanhu vanga votora masides ka kuti ehe we must prepare for our future, mamwe madzimai wiriwiri kudivi iroro, prepare for our future. Vamwe varume ikokoko wiriwiri preparing for our future but now vakudzvamuka kuramba.
“Handizvo zvinoitwa, once you do that you have divided the party and this is what has happened, this is what has happened.
“And the discovery of that and the uncovering of other things zvaana corruption zvazobudawo izvi,” President Mugabe said.
He added that VP Mujuru had also consulted traditional healers to get charms that would help her ascend to the Presidency and had also tried to get blessings from the leader of the Johane Marange Apostolic Sect in Manicaland in a desperate attempt to lead the country.
