Zimbabwe's First Lady Grace Mugabe has told her husband,
President Robert Mugabe to sack the powerful Vice-President, Emmerson
Mnangagwa, from the ruling Zanu-PF party ahead of its elective congress next
month.
Her comments came a day after a visibly angry President
Mugabe, threatened to fire Mr Mnangagwa, fuelling speculation he favours his wife
to succeed him, the state-run Herald newspaper.
Addressing members of indigenous church groups at a rally in
the capital, Harare, on Sunday, Mrs Mugabe said:
“The snake must be
hit on the head. We must deal with the real snake behind the factions and
discord in the party. We are going for the congress as a united party."
Mrs Mugabe, the head of the Zanu-PF women's league, and Mr
Mnangagwa are seen as the front-runners in the battle to succeed Mr Mugabe when
he dies or steps down.
