Former First Lady, Grace Mugabe has told ITV’s John Ray
that 40 000 soldiers were sent to deal with her.
“Imagine. They sent 40 000 soldiers against a woman,’’ she
tells me, he wrote “Am I really that dangerous?’’
She greets us and ushers us swiftly inside, and even serves
us her home-made pizza.
Her husband, Mugabe rejects the accusation she tried to
have Mnangagwa poisoned: “She would never do that, she is a Christian.’’
It makes me feel better about eating the pizza. This is the
woman derided by many Zimbabweans as “Gucci Grace” for her expensive tastes and
love of luxury.
Many too believe she became the power behind the throne —
Mugabe’s heir apparent. That’s when the army moved in – and Mugabe and his wife
were moved out.
Mugabe insists it was never his plan to install her as the
next president.
“All that is rubbish,’’ he says.
