Addressing supporters at Harare International Airport soon after her return from an African Women Leader’s Forum in the United States, Mujuru urged her members to elect women candidates for all public offices from from council level in next year’s general elections.
“We have to elect women leaders from ward level … even in Parliament so that as laws are crafted, we are not left out. We cannot cry that laws are not women-friendly yet we do not elect women in those positions … As for me, I am ready to stand, I am ready to lead,” she said to wild cheers from her supporters.
The former Vice-President said her party was committed to the coalition with progressive opposition political parties and dismissed contrary statements by some of her party members, saying there were personal.
“We are serious about the coalition and, as we speak, we are waiting for a report from the committees which we despatched to discuss the coalition… We are not blowing hot and cold over the coalition we are committed to be a united force,” she said.
Her deputy Samuel Sipepa Nkomo recently caused a storm went he labelled Tsvangirai a failed politician, who is unfit to lead the proposed coalition.
Mujuru dismissed Nkomo’s remarks as personal opinions which do not reflect the party position.
COMMENTS
Mujuru, with your sorry history, you’re not fit to lead a brace of donkeys. You’ve been very much a part of the destruction of economy and civility. You and your husband stole the people blind, destroyed their livelihoods, murdered those who opposed you, and you were smack in the big middle of the voting frauds that kept power in the hands of ZANU-PF gangsters. Remember those days? If not, the parade of witnesses and evidence will help you recall it at your trial. How on God’s green earth do you consider yourself fit to even suggest you be ANY part of leading the nation. You need serious professional help… like the nice fellows in the white coats who will keep you from harming yourself. They have a nice jacket for you to wear.
“Ready to lead”… what an idiotic thing to say.
A school drop out a lady bee for zanla commander Rex Nhongo now ready to lead what, your power used to be at Rex bedroom without him you are nothing. You are like a used condom dumped by zanu pf after use
Your were responsible for 2008 violence their souls will keep haunting you to your grave Tenderai and Dzamara
