Mugabe savages Mnangagwa

President Robert Mugabe yesterday took several subtle digs at his deputy, Vice-President Emmerson Mnangagwa, as he accused bigwigs in his party of trying to grab power through unorthodox means.

Officially opening the Zanu PF annual conference in Masvingo yesterday, Mugabe said seniority in the party was no reason for underhand activities and making a play for power.

“There are rules and procedures of how things should be done,” he said.
