The Joice Mujuru Wikileaks cables

Vice-President Joice Mujuru has made headlines since she was catapulted to that post in 2004 against all odds. It was considered a victory for her husband, former army commander Solomon Mujuru who was considered a kingmaker within the Zimbabwe African National Union- Patriotic Front. But though there are only 35 cables that cite her name- those few seem to have done untold damage to her prospects, moreso now that her husband is gone.
