Mujuru turns down minister Dube's "invitation" to attend war veterans meeting with Mugabe

Former Vice-President and opposition leader Joice Mujuru has turned down an invitation by War Veterans minister Tshinga Dube to attend a proposed meeting of former war fighters set for April.

Despite the way Mujuru was dismissed from Zanu Pf, Dube told NewsDay last week that Mujuru, as a veteran of the liberation struggle, would be free to attend. However, Mujuru immediately dismissed at the suggestion that she would appear at Mugabe’s indaba with war veterans. Speaking through her spokesperson Gift Nyandoro , Mujuru said:

As a matter of principle and ideological standing Dr Mujuru has no desire to attend a gathering presided over by a dictator who has completely lost focus, as demonstrated by his insatiable appetite to disregard constitutionalism and the rule of law. Put simply one cannot expect Jesus to attend a sermon being presided over by Baal’s prophets.
