Former Presidential Affairs Minister, Didymus Mutasa has hinted that
sacked Vice President Joice Mujuru could be filing a lawsuit against
First Lady Grace "Dr Amai" Mugabe over her vicious attacks on her person
last year.
Mujuru was fired in December along with several government ministers
including Mutasa over allegations of plotting to depose and assassinate
President Robert Mugabe.
Grace was the first to open the lid on the accusations in her "Meet the
People Tour" series of rallies before the congress accusing Mujuru of
corruption, dereliction of duty and plotting to topple Mugabe.
Mutasa, in an interview with South African newspaper, Mail &
Guardian, said Mujuru made a mistake by remaining silent at the face of
attacks on her person by Grace and other Zanu-PF officials including
politburo member Oppah Muchinguri.
"I feel for her (Mujuru) very much and agree that she should not have
been silent. I think she is probably doing something quietly through the
courts. I don't know really," said Mutasa.
"She is a real freedom fighter. She is a very different character from
Oppah Muchinguri [women's affairs, gender and community development
minister]. I suppose it is because of those differences that she was
selected first as vice-president, and not Muchinguri."
In November, while pushing for Mujuru's ouster, Grace Mugabe
sensationally claimed that she had video and audio recordings where the
then Vice-President Joice Mujuru was captured speaking ill against the
First Family.
Addressing about 1 000 college students and party youths
at her Mazowe Children’s Home, Grace said she always wondered why Mugabe
was not keen on kicking Mujuru out of office given the overwhelming
evidence they had amassed against her.
Grace said she had a video of the VP dressed in a mini-skirt talking to someone saying "rotten" things about her being greedy.

The First Lady
also accused Mujuru of consulting traditional healers to get rid of
President Mugabe among a whole lot of other bizarre accusations that
eventually led to her dismissal from government.
There have also been reports that Expelled Vice President Joice Mujuru
plans to start her own party and challenge Robert Mugabe on the
Presidency.
