HARARE (AFP) Zimbabwe President Robert Mugabe's deputy Joyce Mujuru has thrown her weight behind the veteran ruler's bid for a sixth term, dispelling speculation linking her to Mugabe's rival Simba Makoni.

Mujuru was quoted by the state-owned Herald newspaper on Monday as saying at a rally: "Firstly, you should vote for Comrade Mugabe, our presidential candidate, then ZANU-PF (the ruling Zimbabwe African National Union - Patriotic Front) councillors, MPs and senators.

Joyce Mujuru was at one stage seen as Mugabe's chosen successor before the 84-year-old decided to seek another term in office.

We have achieved what we intended," Mujuru was quoted as saying.

Mujuru was born in Zimbabwe's northeastern district of Mt.

Mujuru was sworn in as Vice-President of Zimbabwe on December 6, 2004.

Mujuru was nominated as ZANU-PF's candidate for the House of Assembly seat from Mt.

This ran contrary to earlier claims from the MDC that Mujuru had lost the seat.

Mujuru is the former MP for Chikomba.

According to newspaper reports Mujuru has been under house arrest and 24-hour surveillance since November 2007 for his role in attempting to oust Mugabe.

It is generally thought that Mujuru has a tremendous amount of influence on who leads ZANU-PF and the country.

Solomon Mujuru is husband to Vice-President Joyce Mujuru.

It also says Mujuru has been investigated by the police for flouting exchange control regulations and running illegal shelf companies.

He said: “The real truth is Mujuru is the most corrupt, uneducated person who has failed to make any meaningful ministerial post in ZANU-PF just because of illiteracy.
