When everything is done, the party will be launched and we will let you know,” she said. “That is what they wanted (destruction of Zanu PF) because the leadership allowed it to happen,” she said. Mujuru said the chaos in Zanu PF was a sign of a failed leadership but vowed never to return to the ruling party as she was not fully committed to ZPF. Zanu PF is divided into two distinct factions, with one backing Mnangagwa and another G40 which reportedly has the backing of the First Lady. War Veterans minister Christopher Mutsvangwa, a key Mnangagwa ally, was also singled out for a tongue lashing by a visibly angry Grace on Friday. At the time, Mujuru described the charges as politicking by those who wanted power at all cost. She denied the allegations and challenged Mugabe to prove the claims in court. Mnangagwa took over from Mujuru in December 2014 after she was kicked out of the party on allegations of plotting to kill Mugabe through consulting witch-doctors, among other accusations. Mujuru said Mnangagwa was welcome to join ZPF party, but on condition that he starts from grassroots. She added: “I don’t feel pity for him and anyone there at all! That is what they wanted.” “I decided to keep quiet and watch the party disintegrate.” “They knew that all that was being said about me were lies, but they believed it that is when I realised that a huge disaster was imminent in Zanu PF because the leadership allowed it to happen. “They were together when lies were peddled against me and many in the party, so he is just having the same treatment that I got and they are tasting their own medicine. “I have no advice that I would give him,” Mujuru told The Standard. Mujuru, who on Friday registered her own political party - Zimbabwe People First (ZPF) - said she does not feel any pity for Mnangagwa.The VP is believed to have been one of the architects of Mujuru’s demise after years of jostling for control of Zanu PF with the war veteran. She has threatened to reveal more information allegedly exposing the so-called plot against Mugabe.The setting for the attacks against Mnangagwa - a rally in Mazowe South - and the language laced with innuendos and hate speech had a striking similarity to Grace’s unrestrained attacks on Mujuru in 2014. Grace accused Mnangagwa of a plethora of things, including linking him to an alleged plot to kill her son - Chatunga - and the recent attempt “to bomb” her Gushungo Dairy in Mazowe. FORMER vice-president Joice Mujuru believes her successor Emmerson Mnangagwa is tasting his own medicine after First Lady Grace Mugabe turned on the Midlands strongman on Friday, accusing him of plotting against her husband.
