Higher Education Minister Jonathan Moyo may indeed be President Robert Mugabe’s man which would make him a member of the G40 if former Vice-President Joice Mujuru is correct in saying G40 is really headed by Mugabe.
A cable from the United States embassy in Harare said way back in March 2001 that Moyo would never be anything more than Mugabe’s man.
The cable said that Moyo was hated and despised in the Zimbabwe African National Union-Patriotic Front so much that he would be off the political scene as soon as Mugabe left.
The cable, however, said it was conceivable that Moyo could become Prime Minister if Mugabe amended the constitution to smoothly ease himself out of politics.
“Moyo is one of the most hated figures in the country right now and no one other than Mugabe will back him,” the cable says.
Moyo has denied being a member of G40 calling it a demographic group rather than a faction of ZANU-PF.
He has said over and over again that there is only one centre of power- Mugabe.
