Prof Moyo rubishes ZANU People First

Professor Jonathan Moyo has castigated the unborn Zanu People First party that will be allegedly led by axed vice president Joice Mujuru saying Zanu Pf has never had such a postfix.

He added: “Our membership is composed of the original and seasoned politicians, commanders of the Zimbabwe African National Army (Zanla), Zimbabwe People’s Revolutionary Army (Zipra) and Zimbabwe People’s Army (Zipa) forces who are now being marginalised.”

Stuff and nonsense, said information minister and Zanu PF politburo member Jonathan Moyo who added that Simba Makoni and Dumiso Dabengwa also claimed to have the support of party stalwarts and yet no senior figures left with them.

“Media dreams of a split will come to grief not least because the nefarious pursuits of expelled malcontents in the wilderness cannot be rationally described as a split,” Moyo told state media.

“Dumiso Dabengwa’s 2008 foray into the political wilderness was not a split in Zanu PF nor was Simba Makoni’s Mavambo in the same year which ended up as Magumo in 2013.

“It is also notable that the expelled Mujuru-Mutasa-Rugare cabal was widely seen as the money-faction before its long overdue expulsion because money was, as it still is, more important to the threesome than ideology.”

Mutasa said only Mujuru, who was fired for allegedly plotting a coup against President Robert Mugabe, could turn the country’s struggling economy around.
