Rallies expose Grace Mugabe backers

First Lady Grace Mugabe's ongoing countrywide rallies have exposed the group that is behind her comprising high-ranking Zanu PF party officials aligned to Justice minister Emmerson Mnangagwa's faction.

Save for a few aberrations like embattled Hurungwe legislator Temba Mliswa the core group supporting Grace's campaign may have different views and even agendas but they are all party functionaries associated with Mnangagwa.

Mnangagwa has been locked in a decade-long and increasingly bitter succession fight with Vice-President Joice Mujuru.
