'Mugabe Owes War Vets'
Published: 2016 April 05 09:36:02 (4068 Views)
Former Vice President Joice Mujuru's Zimbabwe People First (ZimPF) party has urged the disgruntled war veterans to take advantage of their Thursday crunch meeting with President Robert Mugabe to remind him that he owes his political survival to their sacrifices during and after the liberation struggle.
In statement yesterday, ZimPF said it respected and recognised the invaluable contributions of the war veterans during and after the independence war.
Mugabe on Saturday declared that the Zimbabwe National Liberation War Veterans’ Association was an affiliate of Zanu PF that could not give orders to the party.
ZimPF raised the question: “Whose side is he (Mugabe) on and why?”
Zanu PF is allegedly torn between two warring factions, one known as Generation-40 (G40), which reportedly has the backing of First Lady Grace Mugabe, and another, which is said to be backing Vice-President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s leadership ambitions.
Meanwhile, former Zanu PF Mashonaland West provincial chairman and Youth Advocacy for Reform and Democracy leader Temba Mliswa said war veterans should demand that Mujuru, Gumbo, former Presidential Affairs minister Didymus Mutasa, Zapu leader Dumiso Dabengwa and former war veterans boss Jabulani Sibanda be allowed to attend the meeting as they are war vets also.
