Has Outspoken Minister Moyo Revealed Mugabe's Ideal Successor?

The topic of President Robert Mugabe's succession is now spreading even within the ruling Zanu-PF party, where discussing the nonagenarian ruler's departure was akin to treason. In a new twist in the protracted succession battle, Higher and Tertiary Education Minister Jonathan Moyo has endorsed Defence Minister Sydney Sekeramayi to succeed Mugabe ahead of Vice-President Emmerson Mnangagwa.
