Ten things we can learn from Vice President Joyice Mujuru's dilemma

The recent fallout of the Zanu PF heavy weights among them Vice President Joyice Mujuru,  Rugare Gumbo , Jabulalni Sibanda, Didmus Mutasa, Dzikamai Mavhaire  and many other in the ruling party last month shows that the President Mugabe has no friend when it comes to power. For many of us onlookers who are watching this thing play out it in public,  it becomes a clear confirmation that the ruling party is a Mugabe cult.

While it is difficult not to sympathize with those fallen from "grace". It is also a reminder of what the party stands for. In the past for weeks we saw Joyice Mujuru former known as Teurayi Ropa Nhongo during the liberation war virtually stripped of her credentials. All these years she was known a decorated war veteran who once brought down a Rhodesian plane using a AK 47. It was more saddening that funny to see her being embarrassed in public like that. Not that its something new in to degrade somebody in that manner by the ruling party cronies. It is normal. And sadly to see them do that to somebody in their own party and government is taking it to another level. Not one political analyst would have predicted that. I have always said that the liberation movement was hijacked by power hungry folks and nothing could be further form the truth.

It is worth noting that Grace Mugabe personally discredited and embarrassed his husband's assistant. For along time Mujuru maintained her composure in the face of face of attacks form the left right and center. Grace would go on to say that if she the VP does not quit on her own, she would personally make sure that she is removed, not before dishing out her corrupt business practice in public. The President's wife  acting as the heir to the highest office in the land ,took no prisoners. She left a trail of blood everywhere she went. People were falling form the left right and center. Those who were not on his side were against her, and were quickly replaced, suspended in some cases banned from the party.  

To be continued.
