Thousands of Zimbabwean war veterans from the liberation
stuggle war are gathering at the main sports centre in the capital, Harare, for
a crucial meeting with their patron President Robert Mugabe.
The war veterans have raised concerns about instability
within the governing Zanu-PF and the growing influence of First Lady Grace
Mugabe, who some accuse of harbouring leadership ambitions and causing
divisions within the party.
Mr Mugabe threatened to deal with what he said were
"rogue" war veterans last weekend, setting the stage for a
potentially explosive meeting.
While the meeting has been described as an attempt to deal
with unfulfilled welfare issues for the veterans, they equally want to voice
concerns about growing factionalism within the party.
