Ministers abandon work to attend Grace Mugabe rallies

First Lady Grace Mugabe's ongoing countrywide rallies have dealt a major blow on government business as ministers abandon their work stations to attend the whistle stop tours.

Since the First Lady rallies started, dozens of cabinet ministers have been making a bee line to the rallies, leaving their offices manned by deputy ministers and permanent secretaries.

The Cabinet minister include Information Minister Jonathan Moyo, Local Government Ignatius Chombo, Gender Oppah Muchinguri, Edna Madzongwe Senate President, and Olivia Muchena Higher Education.

Opposition politician Dumiso Dabengwa yesterday accused the officials' for failing to make a distinction between party business and their public service obligations.
