| "I Am Neither A Witch Nor An Assassin" Joice Mujuru |
I have known only one political party and now I am outside and I will not go back. I am neither a witch nor an assassin," said Mujuru.
Her relegation from the party echelons were pinned on allegations of witchcraft, assassination attempts, corruption among others.
However, she said 18 months after the allegations cropped up, no docket has been brought forward against her.
The opposition leader stated that she will never persecute other people after she was asked to comment on President Mugabe's character.
“I don’t believe in talking about other people’s characters I am not God. Yes, President Mugabe has been my boss for a long time and I will not discuss his character.
Let’s focus on progressive issues, bread and butter issues for the development of the country.”
Mujuru's party announced that it is has not forged any coalition pacts with fellow opposition parties though they remain open to dialogue.
