Endai munobika doro Mnangangwa tells those trying to oust Mugabe

Justice Minister Emmerson Mnangagwa, reported to be one of the major contenders in the Zimbabwe African National Union-Patriotic Front, yesterday said t hose who want to oust President Robert Mugabe must ask their ancestral spirits why they have forsaken them. “There are those who have been possessed by the demons, the Legion from the Bible, who want to oust President Mugabe. They must be exorcised. If these people are there who have the same sentiments, endai munobika doro muudze mudzimu wenyu kuti ko munondirasireiko?’’ he told party supporters in Gweru. Mnangagwa called for unity among party supporters who are now deeply divided with one faction allegedly supporting Vice-President Joice Mujuru and the other Mnangagwa himself. Both Mujuru and Mnangagwa deny they lead any faction saying they are solidly behind Mugabe. But Mugabe’s wife, Grace, has been hammering on Mujuru for days claiming she is thoroughly corrupt and is bent on ousting her husband. Mujuru has responded that she will never be a sellout and does not understand why some people hate her and spread malicious lies about her.
