– FINAL UPDATE: Politburo meeting postponed to Wednesday 29th October following the ZESA powercut.
– President Robert Mugabe and the senior politburo officers are still locked in meeting and cannot come out…. Sources inside say the meeting likely to be aborted because of the ZESA power cut…
– ZESA power cut (just after 7pm) as politburo meeting continues to stretch. The power-cut extends the larger part of Harare’s entire CBD.

A senior source inside the shake shake building has told ZimEye that President Robert Mugabe and Joice Mujruri held a closed meeting shortly before the main politburo meeting in the main conference room. It was not clear what was discussed during that confined meeting but speculation has been rife that it had everything to do with the current raging rants by Mugabe’s wife against Mujuru. Meanwhile BELOW was the ongoing update:
President Robert Gabriel Mugabe’s wife, Grace is not attending the privileged politburo meeting currently being held today at ZANU PF’s shake shake building. Grace who is the key subject of bitter squabbles that gave rise to the proposed main agenda for this meeting, is not welcome since she is also not a politburo member.
The meeting began this morning and senior ZANU PF officials marched into the building amid the glare and gaze of journalists stationed near the Rainbow Towers hotel waiting for the final moment when resolutions are communicated.
But by 7.02 PM, the meeting was far from over.
A senior source had reported earlier that Mujuru is challenging President Robert Mugabe face to face over his wife’s allegations against her. She will later speak out on her ordeal for the first time vocally tomorrow, Saturday. (Also read Swimming Between Hippos and Crocodiles| Zimbabwe..)
It will be brick upon brick as the party attempts to save itself from total collapse with this challenge the first of its kind since 1960.
ZimEye will update our valued readers as the meeting progresses
