MDC leader, Nelson Chamisa is said to have met the Mugabes
in Dubai to hammer out a proposed Cabinet.
Chamisa, who has business links with the Mugabes, appeared
to confirm the reports over the weekend while addressing party supporters at
Mvurwi Stadium in Mazowe North.
“I laughed when I heard that Mugabe said he will vote for
me,” he said. “I cannot refuse a vote. I know that even if you refuse to vote
for me, I have one vote from Mugabe.”
The Herald said a proposed Cabinet list has already been drawn. According to the list, Grace would be appointed Vice President. Dr Bhekitemba Mpofu would be the
co-Vice President in a Cabinet constituted by former G40 cabals.
Professor Jonathan Moyo, who fled the country last
November, is earmarked for the Foreign Affairs portfolio. Mr Zhuwao has been
given the Ministry of Water and Environment, with Mrs Eunice Sandi-Moyo,
another G40 cabalist, assuming the Ministry of Devolution and Local Government.
Ms Sarah Mahoka was tipped to become Minister of Women and
Youth Affairs, while NPF spokesperson Mr Jealousy Mawarire, becomes the
Minister of Publicity and Information.
Other portfolios were set aside for members of the Chamisa
camp, with Mr Tendai Biti becoming the Minister of Justice.
Mr Chamisa’s spokesperson, Dr Nkululeko Sibanda, yesterday
dismissed the claims.
“People are clutching at straws,” he said. “I have seen the
list with some people whom we do not even know. The next thing that they will
say is that Chamisa met an angel.
“It is nowhere near the truth. The point is that we will
accept every vote even from (President) Mnangagwa. We know that Chamisa is
going to win this election.”
