'Mugabe must be replaced by a Mugabe'

[Redeemed]

HARARE - THE ruling Zanu PF party is divided over President Robert Mugabe’s succession, a situation that is now affecting government business amid threats of war from the warring factions if their preferred candidates to take over from the soon-to-be 93-year-old leader are sidelined.

Our senior writer Mugove Tafirenyika (Q) caught up with Zanu PF youth league secretary Kudzanai Chipanga (A) to discuss this and other issues.

(Q) I am aware you are on record saying youths want Mugabe to be life president. But should the unexpected happen, and Mugabe is incapacitated, who would you prefer as youths to take over from him?

(A) We cannot imagine a situation where we do not have our president but should we be forced into that situation we would second someone with the name Mugabe because that name is sellable. Our people have gotten addicted to that name and they will easily vote for such a name as long as it has been forwarded by Zanu PF.

(Q) What do you mean? That you want one of Mugabe’s relatives including his wife and children to take over and create a dynasty of some sort?

(A) It is not secret that the youth league and the women’s league work closely together hence we will have no problem with supporting a woman to any position of the party including presidency as long as it is done according to the dictates of the Zanu PF constitution and like I have said, that person must carry the name Mugabe.

By the way it (Zanu PF constitution) does not bar women from contesting. Our point is that we prefer to go into an election riding on the back of the Mugabe brand. It does us good to have the name Mugabe on the ballot paper than someone with a name say like Chipanga.

They must go for it. Bill Clinton's wife went for the presidency, George Bush Snr's son got the presidency.

I've just realised that I don't even know whether Bob has loin spawn or not. Too lazy (disinterested) to Google.

He does, but Mrs Mugabe is also available.

The only apt metaphor I can think of for this situation is "A bunch of naked starving beggars sitting on an ash heap fighting over a bleached white dog bone".
