Mujuru loses salary, benefits

Government has reportedly withdrawn most of former Vice-President Joice Mujuru’s State-funded benefits including security staff as the Zanu PF regime intensifies its campaign to reduce her to an ordinary citizen after expelling her from the ruling party and government, NewsDay has learnt.

This also came amid reports that Mujuru — who until last December, was President Robert Mugabe’s deputy for 10 years —had not received her salary since January after her recall from the post over allegations of plotting to oust her principal.

This is despite a constitutional provision which makes her eligible to continue receiving her salary and benefits until she dies.
