I was pushed out of Zanu-PF because I was against Mugabe's bad economic policies: Mujuru

Former Vice President turned opposition leader Joice Mujuru has claimed that she pushed out of the government and out of Zanu-PF because she was opposed to President Mugabe’s poor economic policies. Mujuru blamed these policies for the low unemployment rate and the increase in the number of vendors.  Addressing hundreds of vendors and informal traders in Bindura on Monday, Mujuru said:

When I was in government, I used to regularly clash with Mugabe over his economic policies and he was not happy with that and that is why we parted ways. However, as the next president of Zimbabwe, I assure you that there will be economic growth and industries will reopen.
