Zimbabwe: Tsvangirai says Mugabe is losing control of Zanu PF

Unprecedented infighting in Zimbabwe's ruling Zanu PF shows President Robert Mugabe has lost control of his party ahead of elections due in March, the main opposition leader, Morgan Tsvangirai, says. "Mugabe now is a leader of a faction, not the leader of the party of the country and that undermines his legitimacy," the Movement for Democratic Change leader said. More than a dozen top party officials have been purged amid jostling to succeed Mugabe, 80, upon his retirement in 2008.
