Impeccable party sources said the plot had the blessings of the First Family, hence First Lady Grace Mugabe’s verbal attacks on Mujuru during her countrywide “meet the people tours” over the past two weeks.
Sources added that Muchinguri agreed to the plot and gave up her women’s league post after being assured of the vice-presidency.
Calls for Mujuru’s ouster went a gear up last week when Grace accused her of having actively participated in the formation of the opposition MDC and Mavambo/Kusile/Dawn parties which she claimed were both hatched at her house.
“Oppah (Muchinguri) will likely challenge Mujuru at the congress. Some are pushing for Grace to do that, but the idea now is to make sure Grace leads the women while Muchinguri takes the VPs post,” the source said.

During her controversial provincial rallies, Grace also accused Mujuru of being corrupt and divisive.
Although Information minister Jonathan Moyo initially denied reports that Grace’s attacks were directed at Mujuru, weekend State media reports confirmed that indeed the vice-president was the target. The State media reports added that Mujuru’s fate would likely be sealed at tomorrow’s politburo meeting as the party announces its election guidelines.
As if to confirm the bad blood that now exists between Grace and Mujuru, the two snubbed each other when they met at the Harare International Airport on Saturday as Mugabe and his wife left for Rome.
A few months ago, Mugabe indicated that all politburo members and members of the presidium including himself, would have to step down on the eve of the congress and allow for fresh elections.
Analysts said the move could be part of a plot to dump the likes of Mujuru who have been accused of plotting to unseat the 90-year-old Zanu PF leader.
