I am intrigued by this excerpt of Speaker of Parliament Jacob Mudendas speech to the ZANU PF Congress contained in Newsday in which he confirms that the Mujuru faction dominates the House of Assembly and Senate. If this is true and they are not all bullied into following the Mnangagwa faction (as well they might be) then the shenanigans within ZANU PF are not yet over. Mudenda alleged the plot to remove Mugabe by the Mujuru camp started with the usurping of power from the centre, rigging and manipulating internal elective processes from the national level down to the cell or village and filling them with people either “bought with money” or “indoctrinated” to support their cause. “They orchestrated sham primary elections ahead of the 2013 harmonised polls resulting in their domination of both the House of Assembly and the Senate and consequently, Cabinet,” Mudenda said. He alleged the Mujuru camp imposed their loyalists in crucial positions in the structures. Mudenda said due to the massive scheming by the Mujuru camp, “the party became unco-ordinated, with attendant policy incoherence, as the secretary for administration ensconced himself as Vice-President Mujuru’s second-in-command in the faction. A lot of other ills followed, creating a chronic state of near-paralysis in the party. “Thanks to the revelations made by the First Lady Amai Doctor Grace Mugabe, a whirlwind was unleashed which swept away the conspirators. The challenge that the party faces now, going forward from this congress, is to orient all its organs, members and functionaries in government back to its ideology and policies.” https://newsday.co.zw/2014/12/06/joice-mujuru-plot-fresh-details-emerge/
