Dr Grace Mugabe yesterday took a swipe at MDC leader, Morgan Tsvangirai for trying to incite Zimbabweans to take to the streets and demonstrate.
"Demonstrate against whom? If we are to go to the streets, it will be to tell Tsvangirai to go back to his mentors, the US and Britain, and tell them to remove sanctions. How can an economy thrive when you are being forced to work with a limited number of countries?
Successive British ambassadors to Zimbabwe, including the incumbent, have been at pains telling the world that there are no sanctions imposed on Zimbabwe. They say only President, the First Lady and two others were slapped with travel restrictions. They say this at a time when people in Harare and other towns are failing to access clean water for domestic use.
People are using polluted water from Mukuvisi in certain instances. Tsvangirai must go back to his handlers and tell them to remove sanctions which have caused untold suffering among our people," said Mugabe.
She said Zimbabweans should preserve peace which came as a result of a protracted war of liberation.
The First Lady said foreign powers have a habit of creating conflicts and chaos in third world countries endowed with rich minerals then disappear after causing wars. She cited Iraq and Libya as countries that fell prey to the West's machinations.
Mugabe said it was worrying that Zanu-PF continued to struggle in making inroads in urban constituencies.
She said towns were becoming increasingly difficult to develop owing to MDC-T councillors who oppose development so as to push the agenda of their western backers of causing social unrest.
