GRACE Mugabe and her G40 Zanu-PF allies are forcing President Robert Mugabe to remain in power so they can continue their shameless plunder of the economically crippled country, an opposition leader claimed Saturday.

According to NewZimbabwe.com, retired Brigadier General Agrippa Mutambara - interim leader of Zimbabwe People First (Zim-PF) party - told supporters in the eastern border city of Mutare that the 93-year-old President Mugabe is no longer in charge of the country.

He said Mugabe had effectively relinquished power to his wife, Grace, and her G40 allies who include cabinet ministers and politburo members Saviour Kasukuwere and Jonathan Moyo.

"President Mugabe is no longer in control but Grace, Kasukuwere and others. They want Mugabe to stay in power at all costs so that they continue to loot country's resources and enriching themselves at the expense of the suffering masses," said Mutambara.

The former army general who was once attacked and seriously injured by axe-wielding Zanu-PF, accused Grace of turning party youths into killing machines.
