Grace Mugabe threatens to withdraw donations for Bulawayo women

First Lady Grace Mugabe yesterday threatened to withdraw aid for tired, hungry and sun burnt women who stood and left while she was addressing her eighth meet-the-people rally at Amazulu Sports Club in Bulawayo.

Grace accused the women for being disrespectful saying they will not get donations as punishment for their errant behavior.

 "Do I look like a fool when you look at me, I am not a fool," she thundered.

"Why do they stand when I am speaking, you are disorganized Bulawayo people. Why are the women getting out? Where are they going?

"It shows disrespect. Where are you going, you just want to receive my goodies, but you do not want to listen to what I am saying."

As she raged on, sections of the crowd cheered her and this just seemed to spur her on and ignite her fury.

"It's unfair, come back and sit down. It's gamatox spirit. I do not lead fools, you think I am a fool?

"If you stand up when Amai is speaking, you are showing that what I am saying does not make sense. I love you women."

While the majorities were listening to Grace, the Red Cross had its hands full, as they had to attend to a number of people, who fainted in the 33 degree Celsius October heat.
