Harare, Zimbabwe. (News Of The South) – Former Hurungwe West and Mashonaland West Themba Mliswa spewed vitriol on Grace Mugabe’s recent outbursts recently.
Speaking at a press conference in Harare recently, the outspoken former ZANU PF legislator who now leads an outfit YARD(Youth Advocacy Reform and Democracy) described the First Lady’s tirade on government officials as unconstitutional.
“Firstly we question the capacity that she is making her statements as neither the Zimbabwe or ZANU PF constitutions has no provision for this portfolio and therefore she has no authority to make such attacks,” said Mliswa.
He also said the president’s wife ‘should respect hierarchy and observe her place’ or else President Robert Mugabe declares that she is now running the country.
The ousted Themba Mliswa said the First Lady’s continued attacks on government officials is also a factor I in the downfall of the economy.
“The economy is being brought to its knees..The decisions she is making are impacting negatively on the reputation of Zimbabwe as a people,” added Mliswa.
The now 51 year old started her affair with the Zimbabwean leader when she was still secretary to Mugabe who then was still married to Sally.
When Sally died, Grace had already given birth to the couple’s first child Bona, who is now nearly 26.
Grace chided those ridiculing Mugabe for clinging to his job at a ripe age of 92 saying they had no moral authority to do so as they were equally old.
The Zanu PF women’s league boss accused her party rivals of sponsoring talk about Mugabe’s death each time he travelled for his annual leave outside the country saying it was God’s design that the veteran leader was still mentally and physically stable.
She said Mugabe shall remain party leader and candidate for the 2018 elections because he had wisdom, listened to his people and was the only current Zanu PF leader capable of keeping his party intact.
The controversial First Lady reiterated Mugabe shall remain Presidenteven if he became too incapacitated to remain walking on his two feet.
