Zanu-PF Deputy Secretary for Information and Publicity Cde Monica Mutsvangwa, said the criminal allegations against Mujuru were being dealt with by relevant authorities.
“Now Mujuru wants to apologise? If she had any honour as she claims befitting a revolutionary, why didn’t she turn down all those power elevations for 34 years? Even more telling, why didn’t she resign?
“She’s now pouring scorn on what she enjoyed most, the power and its material rewards, which she’s still enjoying,” Cde Mutsvangwa said.
She added that Mujuru had since 1980 enjoyed the fruits of the liberation struggle that many sacrificed their lives for. “There were many people who fought in the war and many never came back alive and in the last 35 years many have died in destitution and many are still living in poverty. More than any other comrades, Mujuru enjoyed recognition and the trappings of power all due to the sacrifices by many. It’s sad she seems to have been oblivious to her war time identity.
“We fellow women cadres who used to look up to her saw ourselves being shunted aside. She’s trying to sell herself as born-again to her erstwhile enemies, as a born-again in an attempt to find a new political home. She can go and she will not be the first one. Zanu-PF won’t miss her. There are others like Simba Makoni, Edgar Tekere, Margaret Dongo and Dumiso Dabengwa who have gone,” said Cde Mutsvangwa.
She said the corruption allegations on the former VP were being handled by the relevant authorities.
“There are competent bodies in the land who are handling those issues. Ultimately, it’s about what Mujuru may and may not have committed in terms of criminal acts and/or those institutions and of course, her conscience,” she said.
Cde Mutsvangwa said President Mugabe could never be toppled by power hungry people.
Contributing to a discussion on Twitter, Information, Media and Broadcasting Services Minister, Professor Jonathan Moyo, challenged Mujuru to sue if she believed allegations made against her and her cabal of plotting to topple President Mugabe were untrue.
“Let her grant herself her wish by taking the matter to court and we will meet her there,” he said.
Prof Moyo also questioned why Mujuru was suddenly apologising now when she never did so while still in government.
“What is she accepting now from the cold, which she could not accept when she was feeling hot hot!” Prof Moyo asked.
