Mugabe feared Mujuru

President Robert Mugabe feared Solomon Mujuru because the former army commander enjoyed the loyalty of many senior military commanders, a senior Zanu (PF) official was quoted saying by Wikileaks. Politburo member, Sikhanyiso Ndlovu, told US embassy officials in Harare “Mujuru is also independently wealthy, which gives him a freedom for manoeuvre that those whose livelihoods depend on ruling party beneficence do not have.”
