ZANU-PF will win the next elections because of its history and what it does for Zimbabweans, First Lady, Amai Grace Mugabe has said.
Amai Mugabe told the Sunday Mail in an interview the revolutionary party stood a better chance to win this year's elections.
". . . I do not think it will ever happen that Zanu-PF will lose this election. I don't think it will. Never!
"I do not think Zanu-PF will ever lose the elections.
"There is a saying that: 'You cannot continue to fool all the people, all the time, our detractors came and tried to fool the people, but they cannot fool them all of the time."
The First Lady urged Zimbabweans to remember that Zanu-PF liberated the country.
She urged Zimbabwean women to be self-reliant.
"I would want to say to the Zimbabwean woman we have opportunities galore. Let's take advantage of them. We must not just look at our male counterparts getting into different ventures.
"Let's establish ourselves and be in a position to help each other as women.
"What I see in Zimbabwean women is individualism.
"We must be able to interact, come together and share ideas.
"After all, we have had the opportunity to go to school, get an education as much as our male counterparts," Amai Mugabe said.
She said she had seen men who are proud of their wives.
The First Lady said women including those married to rich husbands, should work hard to fend for their families.
"What I tell myself is in the event that my husband is incapacitated, I must be able to carry the family, fend for the family. So this is what drives me.
"I don't know what tomorrow holds for me and I would want the Zimbabwean women to do the same and not just sit, doing nails, being pampered . . . I never do that," she said.
