  Shame that this seems to be being driven by the old guard revolutionaries who wanted to cling onto power, money and privilege and felt threatened by Mugabe's wife being named as his deputy and likely successor.
  
  Sadly it will make little or no difference to ordinary Zimbabweans or the struggles they face on a daily basis.
