JOICE Teurai Ropa Mujuru, the Zimbabwe People First interim leader, or is it now the axed former leader, is a very confused woman.

Political isolation is messing with her marbles.

ZANU-PF is long done with her, any serious party or organisati­on will not have anything to do with her, and her own ZimPF is sinking.

Within a short period of time, she has surrounded herself with likeminded losers like herself, has tried to sell an unsellable dummy to the electorate, has waxed lyrical about Morgan Tsvangirai, all to no avail and is now firing the supposed elders of her party.

From all her rants, one thing remains very clear. Mujuru is desperate.

Throwing a tantrum last week, Mujuru accused seven of her party members of being ZANU-PF agents sent to infiltrate ZimPF.

Talk of flattering oneself!

Obviously Mujuru is still traumatise­d by the devastatin­g, crushing defeat that she recently suffered at the hands of ZANU-PF in Bikita.

She was so used to winning in ZANU-PF and now all she does is lose. Rejection is a bitter pill to swallow. No wonder why some of her party members are exiting the party for the greener pastures in ZANU-PF, it’s cold out there.

Not so long ago, all her hopes were pinned on a coalition with Morgan Tsvangirai’s MDC-T. Now that she failed so dismally in Bikita and that she is now almost the only member in her party, we wonder what’s next for her.

Keeping a low profile and retiring to her farm might be a good idea.

This is the time to show us that you really did write that dissertati­on for the fancy PhD in strategy or whatever it is you graduated with Dr Mujuru.
