	Simon Muzenda at AllExperts
		Simon Vengai Muzenda (October 28 1922 – September 20 2003) was a Shona from the Karanga group, a Zimbabwean politician who served as a deputy prime minister and vice president under president Robert Mugabe, a Shona Zezeru.
		Muzenda was born in the Gutu district of what was then the Victoria province of Rhodesia, firmly under British colonial rule, as a son of a peasant farmer, and brought up by his grandmother, who ensured his regular attendance of a local Catholic missionary school.

		Muzenda had been in failing health, with problems including hypertension and diabetes, for two years, so his death came as no surprise.
		Muzenda was born in the Gutu district of southern Zimbabwe, one of the country's poorest and most arid areas.
		Although Muzenda was not implicated in the shooting, it affected his standing with the public.

		Muzenda's administrative skills were largely responsible for healing the bitter rifts within ZANU during the guerilla war in the 1970s that led to the transition from white-ruled Rhodesia to fl-ruled Zimbabwe.
		Muzenda, released from prison with other leaders during the Anglo-Rhodesian peace negotiations in 1971, travelled to every guerilla camp in neighbouring countries, calming fractious elements and organising a key meeting of the divided leadership that eventually confirmed Mugabe, then in hiding in Mozambique, as the new ZANU leader.

		Muzenda was criticised - and challenged - by many Karanga leaders during the post-independence period but he used his status to retain political power in his home area, repeatedly delivering the Karanga heartland to the Mugabe camp.

		Muzenda was born in the Gutu district of what was then the Victoria province of Rhodesia, firmly under British colonial rule, as a son of a peasant farmer, and brought up by his grandmother, who ensured his regular attendance of a local Catholic missionary school.
		In 1987, when Mugabe became executive president, Muzenda was appointed as his first vice-president.
		In Zimbabwe's early years, Muzenda was generally respected by the people as a no-nosense, plain-spoken man from the working class, but in later years, he appeared more and more crude.

	The Scotsman - Obituaries - Simon Muzenda
		SIMON Muzenda was the second most powerful man in Zimbabwe after the president, Robert Mugabe, his close friend and colleague for three decades.
		Muzenda’s role in government was murky - as was his responsibility in the murderous internal politics of the exiled liberation movement.
		Muzenda was a leading proponent of the mass confiscation of white-owned farms, and in 2000, when ranchers Martin Olds and David Stevens were shot dead by "war vets", the vice-president said: "Those two farmers who were killed had provoked the former guerrilla fighters, and it [their murders] should not be regrettable."

	Political shake-up on the cards for Zim?
		Even as Muzenda, who had been ill for some time, lay on his death bed over the past three weeks, his expected death was plunging Zanu-PF into more chaos as the factions prepared the groundwork for the appointment of their candidates to the second most powerful position in Zimbabwe's politics.
		Muzenda, perhaps the closest ally of Mugabe since the 70s liberation war, had wanted to retire on health grounds long ago.
		Muzenda's stay in office has enabled Mnangagwa - who had been elevated by Mugabe to take charge of the day-to-day affairs of Zanu-PF despite losing his parliamentary seat - to consolidate his position in the ruling party by weakening potential opponents.

		Muzenda was so powerful that when he left the province, no one was able to fill the void.
		As Mugabe's hatchet man, Muzenda was deployed to Masvingo when provincial boss Eddison Zvobgo and his protg Dzikamai Mavhaire had taken over the province and were threatening the party as a whole as two distinct factions had emerged with the Zvobgo faction dictating the pace.
		Muzenda was Mugabe's answer and he panel beated Zvobgo down to size, propping his lieutenants such as Shuvai Mahofa, provincial governor Josiah Hungwe, Tsungirirai Hungwe, and Foreign Affairs Minister Stan Mudenge.

		Muzenda died last Saturday at one of the country’s referral infirmaries, Parirenyatwa Hospital, after a long illness and was buried at the National Heroes Acre yesterday.
		Muzenda’s death has been unfortunate for them in that ZANU PF is now forced to debate the succession issue.
		Muzenda, by virtue of being the second most powerful person in the ruling party, took over Masvingo’s political management — a situation which did not go down well with Zvobgo.

		How Mugabe fills the vacancy left by his second-in-command, one of the veteran leader's most loyal aides, could be a key indicator of who he wants as his own successor after he hinted earlier this year he might be ready to retire.
		A founding member of the ruling Zanu PF party, Muzenda had been Mugabe's deputy for the past 23 years, first as deputy prime minister and later as vice president when the southern African country adopted the executive presidency system in 1987.

		But after all is said and done, Dr Muzenda will, even in death, remain a symbol of fl resistance to white supremacism, racial discrimination and oppression.
		The affable Dr Muzenda was so passionate and obsessed with the need for unity between ZANU PF and ZAPU that he was part of a group of pro-unity liberators who mooted merging the two parties as far back as the 1970s.
		The economy is suffering ill health — there is deep-rooted social depravation, rising unemployment, runaway inflation and a significant portion of the population is stalked by famine among other ills, dealing a devastating blow to local economic pride and promise, of which the departed nationalist was an unwavering proponent.
