Topic: Zezuru


  
  Future Power Plays in Zimbabwe
Within ZANU-PF the dominant Zezuru group have formed an alliance with the Manyika Chishona group, which consists of party strong men such as Kumbirai Kangai and Didymus Mutasa and the promising, though political lightweight, Dr Simbarashe Makoni the current Minister of Finance.
The other Karanga faction is perceived by most to be closely aligned to the Mugabe Zezuru group and is led by aging Vice President Simon Muzenda and his protégé, Minister of Foreign Affairs Dr Stanislaus Mudenge.
The Zezuru camp led by Mujuru would much prefer to see their own man, Sidney Sekeramayi, take the top spot in any post-Mugabe government, as this would act as a counterbalance to the growing strength of the Muzenda Zezuru group.
