War veteran and Vice President of Zimbabwe for 10 years, Joice Mujuru, has announced she has formed her own political party - Zimbabwe People First party. She was once seen as the successor to president Robert Mugabe. But things changed in 2014, when Mujuru was removed from her ruling ZANU (PF) party and government posts. She was accused of plotting to oust president Mugabe from power. Since then she's been rarely seen in public. Joice Mujuru is now the most senior former Zanu-PF leader to form an opposition party - Zimbabwe People First party. Joice Mujuru believes the party will break from the past and bring greater democracy to Zimbabwe.
