HARARE – While Zanu PF and a few misplaced businessmen were, for three weeks, fixated on the Grace Mugabe provincial rallies — the economy has been quietly but surely sinking. The day Grace was holding her second rally at the City Sports Centre — the Confederations of Zimbabwe Industries (CZI) — were launching the manufacturing…
HARARE – Amid serious confusion, if not national paralysis, about the effect of First Lady Grace Mugabe’s vicious attacks on Vice President Joice Mujuru, there is a chilling and unsavoury signal that is emerging about the origins of this “storm”. While there is unanimity of thought that “hurricane Grace” was bound to shake all and…
EDITOR — What Grace is doing is shameful and can only derail peace in Zimbabwe. What are President Robert Mugabe’s intentions really by throwing his wife into the fray especially considering his old age? To leave the nation in disarray and then what would he say is his contribution since the liberation war? This factional…
HARARE – When a self-styled semiotician — if not ghost writer — on a British-based website warned us in June that there was a strong and powerful faction to be led by Grace Mugabe, quite a few Zimbabweans might have taken this seriously. In that bold and quirky riposte to Jonathan Moyo’s savage mauling at…
HARARE – After we successfully submitted our petition to President Robert Mugabe on Friday, we got an immediate response, and also the perfect opportunity to get a vivid reflection of his regime’s mindset and attitudes.

HARARE – Despite recently acquiring a doctorate from the University of Zimbabwe (UZ), First Lady Grace Mugabe remains a loose cannon and should never be allowed anywhere near a microphone.

HARARE – Just as we all thought that Amai was going to do the logical thing and take a neutral political stance in Zanu PF’s factious situation, and shame the divisive elements within the party, she has the most grotesque surprise in store for us. She goes gallivanting across the length and breath of the…
HARARE – Two months after launching her political career, First Lady Grace Mugabe may be watching the beginning of its end. Facing withering criticism on several fronts — ideological, generational, sociological and judgmental — the threats to the former typist’s easy-earned status as Women’s League secretary-designate and possibly successor to her 90-year-old husband are multiplying,…
HARARE – Genuine role models in Zimbabwean sport come in short supply, few as exemplary, on and off the field, as national cricketer Prosper Utseya. The Zimbabwe off-spinner’s quiet and reserved demeanour belies a fierce competitive streak — a fire we have seen grow each passing year inside that slight frame, for over a decade…
HARARE – It appears as if things have now utterly and completely fallen apart in President Robert Mugabe’s Zanu PF party, thanks in no small measure to his 49-year-old wife, Grace. Indeed, so stunning has been the anarchic reversal and turn of events in the party in the last few weeks that where our nonagenarian…
