According to sources in Zimbabwe Mr Mugabe turned down the resignation.
Recent report in October revealed that Mugabe had evidence against Mujuru in the form of voice tapes, where Mujuru can be heard saying that Mugabe has overstayed his welcome.
Per Second News said earlier that Mujuru had come under fire recently for allegedly plotting to unseat Mugabe.
She also came under fire from Zimbabwe's First Lady Grace Mugabe, who told her to resign and accused her of being a leader of a faction within Zanu-PF.
Joice Mujuru has been implicated in the attempted sale of up to 3.5 tonnes of gold from the Democratic Republic of the Congo to a European company, in contravention of European Union sanctions on the part of that company.
In 1977 she married Solomon Mujuru, known then as Rex Nhongo, deputy commander-in-chief of ZANLA.
Upon return from the war, little was known of the origins of her name and her real name. Her mother, in an interview for The Sunday Mail newspaper at her rural Mount Darwin home, spoke exclusively to journalist and media anthropologist Robert Mukondiwa, to whom she revealed that Joice was a name she had also adopted during her time away at the war. Her actual name, he was told, was Runaida, which had been her late paternal aunt's name.
The Mujurus now live on a 3,500-acre (14 km2) requisitioned farm, Alamein farm, 45 miles (72 km) south of Harare, which has been found by the Supreme Court in Zimbabwe to have been illegally seized from the farm owner.
