The Zimbabwe Independent "VICE-PRESIDENT Joseph Msika reportedly remonstrated with President Robert Mugabe at the high table where they were sitting last week during the closing session of the Zanu PF congress as tempers flared over militant war veterans leader Jabulani Sibanda’s bid to address the gathering against the party’s decision to bar him.
This came as more evidence emerged this week that Mugabe was unprocedurally endorsed as the party’s presidential election candidate next year.
Senior politburo members who were seated close to the scene of the drama in which Msika and Zanu PF chair John Nkomo almost walked out of the congress in protest at Sibanda’s actions said the fiery ruling party deputy leader lashed out at Mugabe in remarks that left him shaken. The public brawling by officials also shook onlookers."
