I can be president not Mujuru, Grace says

First Lady Grace Mugabe continued her attack on Vice-President Joice Mujuru today asking her to resign and accusing her of betraying her husband President Robert Mugabe by mobilising support to challenge him at the forthcoming party Zimbabwe African National Union-Patriotic Front congress in December. International news agency, Reuters, quoted her as saying: “Mrs Mujuru must resign now. She wants to use money to topple Mugabe……There are plenty of people who can run this country, not Mujuru.” The First lady told war veterans that she too could become president, why not?  “She (Mujuru) says I want to be president. Why not? Am I not a citizen of Zimbabwe? Why do you think only you are fit?.. Today we now say you should retire, madam, so that those who are capable can get on with the job.”
