Zimbabwe’s President, Robert Mugabe, has threatened to fire his deputy, Emmerson Mnangagwa, accusing him of insubordination.
The 93-year old leader was addressing a ruling Zanu-PF presidential youth interface rally at White City Stadium, Bulawayo -Zimbabwe’s second largest city.
“If I made a mistake by appointing Mnangagwa, tell me. I will remove him now. We are not afraid of anyone. We can decide even here. I will stand in front and have him do the same, those who want to be with me, join me and those who want to be with Mnangagwa go to him,” Mugabe said to the cheering crowd.
”But what I did not expect, which I had a bit of information about, is that some people had sent some persons to boo the first lady. She speaks her mind. We cannot keep quiet. We know in Masvingo there are people who claim the province does not belong to President Mugabe but to Mnangagwa. The same is happening in Midlands. We cannot have what is happening in Masvingo and Midlands where we are told these provinces are not President Mugabe’s but they belong to VP Mnangagwa. I am told off daily in the name of Mnangagwa, did I make a mistake in appointing him as Vp?”,the President fumed.
