"I haven’t had a full night’s sleep since my interview with Star FM. I’ve received numerous abusive messages; while I initially dismissed them as political banter, I’m now genuinely concerned for my safety. I’m taking two actions: posting the numbers of those contacting me on my page and reporting this to the police, both here and in South Africa, as some of the numbers are South African.""

"Thankfully, I’ll be in South Africa soon and will meet with authorities there. If I had any doubts that some claiming to be democrats are simply replicating Zanu PF tactics, the threats and cyberbullying I’ve faced over the past 48 hours have erased them. It’s truly disappointing and sad to realize that people I’ve trusted for over two decades are turning out to be the very things they oppose."

When former President Robert Mugabe became Zimbabwe’s leader in 1980, Mujuru was a key figure in his administration."

"What made me happy is that we spoke about women’s issues considering that we are in the women’s month and did not discuss about positions or politics.

I extended an invitation to Amai to come and see for herself at the farm."
