First Lady Grace Mugabe rapped her three-day tour of Matabeleland in Bulawayo today although she is likely to have created many foes especially among the party's ex-Zapu members who she took her time to salvage describing them as incompetent, divisive and power hungry.
Marking her eighth rally at Amazulu Sports Club yesterday - where a not so convincing audience braved the hot sun in the open, Amai Mugabe shockingly revealed that she was capable of using her powers to divide the party by conniving with faction leaders but would not do so because she believed in her husband President Mugabe's leadership.
Grace sought to substantiate her scathing attack directed to unnamed Zanu PF big wigs which she accused of conniving with MDC T and its Western allies to destroy Zanu PF.
"If I wanted to wreak havoc in Zanu PF using my position I would do so by aligning myself to faction leaders but I don't want to destroy the party because I believe in President Mugabe," Grace said.
Recently Grace scoffed allegations that she was used by the Mnangagwa in the party's succession battles saying " I do not belong to anyone."
Today she said her husband Mugabe doesn't lead a faction adding that there is no faction whatsoever in the First Family.
"But that would not happen because Mugabe is a God given president. No weapon formed against us shall prosper," she said.
Grace also tore at VP hopefuls saying they should consult first before imposing themselves on people and campaigning through the media.
"Positions in the party are given on merit not seniority," said the First Lady.
"Consult first before imposing yourself because people won't accept imposed leaders. Sit down and solve this chaos. Stop, stop, stop," she charged.
Grace also urged inept Bulawayo leaders to solve their leadership wrangle before 2018 as they risked losing elections again.
