Grace Mugabe order Women's League to bury differences

The First Lady Grace Mugabe who is  Zanu PF  Women's League boss has instructed the league to embark on provincial tours to unite the fractured movement.

According to ZBC lunchtime news bulletin, Grace's deputy Eunice Sandi- Moyo said the order came from her boss.

"We have an instruction from the First Lady to tour provinces and preach unity and resolve issues and work together". said Sandi-Moyo.

Women's league secretary for publicity, Thokozile Mathuthu said it was key for women to be united as the party is now focusing on 2018 elections.

However, the provincial meetings could be viewed as a way of re-launching Grace's controversial 'meet the people tours".Gr

Recently, Grace  invited Zanu PF provincial Women's League chairpersons from the country's 10 provinces to her orphanage in Mazowe to push for fresh attack on  Vice President Emmerson Mnangagwa, whom she wants replaced as Mugabe's deputy by a woman.

Grace and her allies want Zanu PF's December conference to be turned into an extraordinary congress where the vice-presidency will be up for grabs. The Women's League is pushing for reintroduction of the women's quota in the presidium to ensure that Mnangagwa is replaced by a woman.

According to the Zimbabwe Independent, the women's assembly, with support from the Youth League, is planning rallies to drum up support for the move while ratcheting up pressure on the vice-president to crumble in the heat of the suffocating race.

In preparation for the onslaught, Grace and the Women's League  purchased thousands of T-shirts emblazoned with Grace's image. The T-shirts are written Munhu wese kunaamai (Everyone belongs to the mother) and were printed in South Africa.
