A PLOT to get rid of Zimbabwe’s infamous President Robert Mugabe and replace him with a woman has emerged.
Mujuru, who used to be a close ally of the President, was once a teenage guerrilla fighter and is said to be popular in the country.
Because Mugabe is reportedly suffering from ill health, they may be able to force him out.
IRON FIST: Robert Mugabe has ruled Zimbabwe for decades

This is despite the 93-year-old pledging to stand again at next year’s election and continue his reign.
Tyrant Mugabe has ruled Zimbabwe with an iron fist since 1980, including cracking down on political opposition and rigging elections.
But the duo face a big fight on their hands as Mugabe’s party ZANU-PF has people everywhere in the country’s government, civil service and military.
“We need 80% participation, not 40%. If there is an overwhelming verdict, there will be no one who will stand in the way of the people.”
Just yesterday, Mugabe was mocked after pictures emerged of him apparently falling asleep at public meetings.
He appears to have nodded off at a string of meetings as he shows signs of his old age.Dailystar
