With the firing of Vice President Joice Mujuru this week, the incoming first vice president, Emmerson Mnangagwa, is considered a likely choice, after decades of a close alliance with Mugabe.
"The task is onerous, and I have to fulfill the aspirations of our people and the expectations of my party," Mnangagwa told VOA's Zimbabwe service Thursday
The incoming second vice president, career diplomat Phelekezela Mphoko, is not as well known in his home country, having spent years in diplomatic posts abroad.
