A political analyst Pedzisai Ruhanya has described first lady Grace Mugabe as now a defector President who order ministers to do things which is unlike the late Sally Mugabe who was humble and human in behaviour.
He said Sally Mugabe once led Zanu PF Women's League too, in the 1980s.
"Here lie the differences with Grace; Grace is now de facto party and State President, orders ministers, permanent secretaries and state institutions like ZBC-TV to cover her live events something all the Vice Presidents," he said.
"Dead or alive Sally never did. Through the live televisions coverage she outlines government business and policies, dishes and wantonly attack gvt and party officials with reckless abundance."
He said this projects and positions Grace as Mugabe's successor.
"What would be the purpose of this if not POWER? The role of the military and VP Emmerson Mnangagwa is overplayed. Hate or like her, Grace runs Zimbabwe and will most probably decide Mugabe successor or has already decided unless tectonic shifts occur swiftly," he said.
