“We do not need any other person other than Mai Mujuru”
The ZANU PF Secretary for Administration, Didymus Mutasa has spoken out on speculative reports that claimed he unilaterally endorsed and declared that Joice Mujuru will succeed President Robert Mugabe.
A journalist, one Jeffrey Moyo had claimed that Mutasa had revealed that Mujuru will succeed Mugabe.
Mutasa is said to have made the revelation while responding to mounting reports that Simba Makoni, leader of Mavambo/Kusile/Dawn, was set to bounce back in Zanu (PF) as a possible replacement for Mugabe.
But Mr Mutasa on Thursday night told ZimEye  he has no authority to endorse or declare Mugabe’s successor as alluded, adding that there is no need for speculation or consultation since at present moment Joice Mujuru stands as the obvious successor to the President.
“Well, the young man who I was talking to had asked me a question which required that answer; Because I was simply telling him that we are not ourselves thinking about  who succeeds Comrade Mugabe and should that become necessary, we have our own Vice President Mai Mujuru and we do not need any other person,” he said.

When asked  by our reporter for further clarity on declaring  that Joice Mujuru should succeed President Mugabe Mr Mutasa replied:
“No I haven’t got that authority. I was simply stating that at the present moment, any thinking person should  not ask us who should succeed Cde Mugabe because the obvious answer is its Mai Mujuru because she is the Vice President,” he said.
 
According to an August 2011 Wikileaks item, Dumiso Dabengwa, a former senior Zanu (PF) member who now leads a revived Zapu party after briefly working with Makoni in MKD, indicated to the US Embassy in Harare that it was likely that the former Finance Minister would return to Zanu (PF).
But Mutasa dismissed the speculative reports, saying: “Leaders of Zanu (PF) are appointed by Zanu (PF) and Dabengwa is not a member of Zanu (PF).
“It is a figment of his imagination that Makoni would be invited to succeed Mugabe,” said Mutasa.
Unverified reports claim that President Robert Mugabe has indicated intentions to step down soon after next year’s elections which the party believes he will win, shortly before handing down power to a chosen future leader now believed to be Mujuru.
But there are other claims that Mugabe’s long time blue eyed boy Emmerson Mnangagwa who is currently Defence minister, is also leading a strong underground faction which stands to threaten Joice Mujuru’s chances to sit at the horns of power.
Both Didymus Mutasa and spokesman Rugare Gumbo have however in the past voiced that Mujuru was better positioned than Mnangagwa to succeed Mugabe because of hierarchy. The country’s current constitution stipulates that in the event that Mugabe dies in office or is incapacitated, Mujuru as the first Vice-President, assumes power for 90 days before elections are held.

  1. Truth be told iyo ZANU PF yaora anhu wee. Ngatisade kufadzana nemanyepo. Tingataure zvedu tichiimbirana ma lullaby but musangano wave churu chakapinda nyoka uyu.

  2. Will the people of Zimbabwe have the courage to rid the country of these Zanu pf hyenas. What say you Bla Miki?

  3. Zanu PF! people have more power than one person occupying all corridors of power. One way or the other there is noone who ever thought Mugabe will be replaced. Are zanu supporters (if ever they still exist) now panicking? Now that they are now thinking of a tried and tested zanu underground failure Makoni. Leadership change should have been effected early 80s when it had become quite apparent Mugabe had turned against Nkomo. It was quite evident that corruption was endemic and that Zimbabweans were destined for destitution under mugabe. Zanu can only reform if they are out of power. They should learn to run a government out of power and at grassroots level. This so called mai mujuru has learnt from Mugabe how to destroy a lovely country. Mugabe is the only leader in the world who turned bread into luxeriuos commodity $14000000.00. Once beaten twice shy.

  4. Didymus mudhidhi wedhongi unongosura pese pese expecting people to lough. Chii chakazomboitika chaizvo chakataurwa nana Mutasa? Mbwa dzavanhu mbavha dzauraya nyika. Endai munofa uko mhani…kutipedzera nguva nemadiamonds. Toda kuona kwezvineinda nako.

  5. Eh ka vaMutasa shuwa. Vamwe ava kana kuti uyo haiwa kushuva chinhu chakanaka chaizvo asi Teurai Ropa Joice Mujuru ndiye ka. Eh ka shuwa. Mataura apa. Amai ava takatakura basa tese isu vamwe tikafa tikasara asi mumweya tiripo saka VaMugabe vangazorora zvavo mwana sikana atore masimba! Pa a mberi ne Zanu pasi ne nhavadada. Aluta continua!

  6. Karate Kid this Didymus. He dished a ferocious round house kick to Roy Bennett’s head and funny enough , it was the latter that spent a whole year at Chikurubi. The law is a do.nkey , is it not?

  7. The renewal of zanu leadership is a noneevent. It is like changing a soiled nappy with a soiled one. The state of the country was crafted by the same greedy double bellied people. They believe in themselves only. I agree with the poor farm technician who felt that those are just bandits.Indeed bandits looking for re election so they keep their belts loose,

  8. Zviroto zviroto chete! Simba Makoni has no reason to go back to a party that refused transparent leadership change a long time ago. Mugabe served his term to his best and should have left in 2002. But being an abusive machinery, ZPF only wanted to ride on his clout and achievements to further abuse people and Zim’s natural resources. Simba and people like me had enough of it and left the party that had long departed from the liberation ideals. We still stand by them today and that’s probably our only common ground with ZPF, if it still has any left. It’s true, Simba will be President of Zimbabwe, not on a ZPF ticket but through the people’s mandate. Whether Mai Mujuru will be leader of ZPF or not, hameno zvavo ikoko! Takazvitaura kare kuti gadzirisai succession mukati tiri vatengesi. Little did you know you were nursing a monster. Now it’s fully matured and Ngwena will not take it lying down. Hope Mugabe will not go with the once revolutionary party, my former party, Tsvangirai’s former party, Dzinemunhenzva’s former party, Dabengwa’s former party, Biti, Welshman, Lovemore Madhuku, etc!

  9. When Mugay goes, the whole party will scatter like cockroaches, and they know it, in spite of all this bravado and bull talk. Without Mugay, they are nothing!

  10. If a band of bandits decide to be led by a female bandit will that change the opinion of their victims? No!! Zanu is well known of its banditry activities. For example, who can be convinced to join zanu pf by a wayward bandit like Bla Miki? Zanu is a party of bandits that still wants to be identified as a revolutionary party, when in fact it long abandoned the revolutionary principles during the war. Zanu is now dangerous to the well being Zimbabweans because of opportunists who never used a gun during the war but now they have unlimited access to guns and tanks. Prior to independence then a few in zanu were out of tune. But come independence there were more bandits than true revolutionaries. Bla Miki you will never and you have never been a revolutionary but a menacing suicide bandit. The close you went to war was either you were born in refugee camp or wanga uri Mudzakutsaku. Zimbabwe can only help you through rehabilitation. Wanzwa ka sani?

  11. Maybe it’s high time Cde Crocodile eliminates this Mujuru b.itch the eluminati style like the ‘army general’ anots.vira mumba door rakazaruka.

  12. Please forgive my son Bla Miki, akakutwa nechimbambaira nguva yehondo hadzichatora mushe and is now a ZANU PF zombie drunk on sewage waters of Harare.

  13. Makoni’s return to the party whose values he castigated when he left to form his MKD outfit would expose his lack of morals and confirm what we have always thought of him as a Zanu PF stooge whose ultimate aim was to ensure its survival in power. I sincerely hope he doesn’t stoop that low as he would be on the losing side of history.
    We really don’t care about the political dynamics inside the former ruling party, whose mandate will be over in a few months’ time. We have heard time and again about Mugay’s intentions to step down, that’s meant to sweeten the deal for some but we know it won’t happen, the goblin is prepared to die in office even with his lack of appeal, and fortunately Zimbabweans have read through this…

  14. If Mugabe decides to step down after winning the elections Mujuru can only become President for 90 days before new elections are held. Wouldn’t that be waste of resources? Why not let her bacome the Zanu PF presidential candidate once and for all?

  15. Besides being poor, you are also a stupid, useless, senseless, idiot barbarian of a farmworker.

  16. The Zanu PF Secretary for administration (whatever that means) has spoken. Is he the same official who introduced to the world Chinhoyi Diesel? Well now introducing another wonder of the world. Do we still care?

  17. Nothing new and using common sense, one would clearly see the logic behind. Cde Mujuru will not require any Presidential orientation because she has already acted in that capacity for a long time and therefore the best candidate. Of cause Simba Makoni, just like the rest of the people who left to join puppet and sellout parties, is surely on his way back to the revolutionary party
