The First Lady Grace Mugabe was nominated her for the Zanu-PF Secretary for Women's League role because Oppah Muchinguri said she realised that some people no longer respected her authority and the party's constitution.
She said some Zanu-PF leaders had deviated from the mandate given to the Women's League when it was formed.
Muchinguri said Britain and the US had decided to use some people within the party to pursue their regime change agenda.
She said the women's league members decided to approach the First Lady at her Children's Home in Mashonaland Central because the province led in the fight against colonial rule.
"This is the province where the war started, this is the land of Mbuya Nehanda, that is why we came here," said Muchinguri.
"I no longer had respect, so I came to seek protection from Amai Mugabe because she is compassionate. She looks after disadvantaged children, widows and other vulnerable groups. She has the qualities to lead women."
