The death of Vice President Simon Muzenda robbed President Mugabe of his only true friend and no one can ever replace him, former Masvingo Governor, Senator Josiah Hungwe said today (Wednesday).
Chivi-Mwenezi senator and politburo member Hungwe made the revelations when he addressed scores of people who gathered to welcome Shuvai Mahofa to office as the Minister of State for Masvingo Provincial Affairs.

“The president will never find a true friend like Muzenda. Now Muzenda is dead only rascals are left in the party and government,” Hungwe told the gathering.
Hungwe said the revelation is a secret that he wanted to share with Zanu PF supporters before he dies.
“This is the secret that I want you to know before I pass on,” said Hungwe.
He recalled the meeting in 2002 between him (Hungwe), the late Muzenda and the President when the late VP urged him to support Mugabe.
“The vice president prophesied about the Gomatox which first happened in 2002 and the one which recently happened in the ZANU PF where some party members planned to topple the President. He told me never to abandon the President,” added Hungwe.
“Now I urge you also never to let the President down as we did in the 2008 elections. Let’s be like Muzenda who never let the President and the party down,” Hungwe said.local
