Mujuru, 59, was sacked by President Robert Mugabe in December after previously being seen as one of his closest allies and his likely successor.She was axed along with several other Zanu-PF politicians. Since then the group has been referred to as Zanu People First.
Yesterday, Mujuru issued a manifesto dubbed the "Blueprint to Unlock Investment and Leverage for Development" to announce her return to mainstream politics.
The Zanu People First party is expected to launch later this month although party officials are cagey about details.
In her manifesto Mujuru vowed to rebuild Zimbabwe's shattered economy by implementing "investor-friendly" policies. "Zimbabwe must move forward, economically, socially and politically," she said. "Together we can build Zimbabwe into a democratic state."
The manifesto opposes many of Mugabe's key policies, including indigenisation laws that require all companies to be majority-owned by locals, a major obstacle to foreign investment.
