Following the appointment of Grace Mugabe as Vice-President at the expense of ZANU (PF) Stalwart Emmerson Mnangagwa last week, events in Zimbabwe have escalated as the Security Forces have embarked on what they describe as a rationalisation exercise to prevent more Political Purges that will lead to the further deterioration of the Country.
Mugabe sacked Vice-President Emmerson Mnangagwa last week, amid a row over succession. Mr Mnangagwa had previously been seen as an heir to the president, but First Lady Grace Mugabe is now the clear front-runner.
The rivalry between Mrs Mugabe and Mr Mnangagwa has split Zanu-PF.
An Official Statement has been issued by the Zimbabwean Military which you can listen to on our Audio Playlist Courtesy of 3Mob Radio…At present, the Security of Robert Mugabe and his Family appears guaranteed, and it remains to be seen how the situation will eventually unravel.
