Grace Mugabe admits elevating Mujuru

First Lady Grace Mugabe yesterday confirmed what has been in the public domain for the decade that she was instrumental in the 2004 campaign which led to the elevation of Vice-President Joice Mujuru to her current position.

Grace made the confession while addressing war veterans at her Mazowe farm ironically in Mujuru's home province on Mashonaland Central yesterday where she also publicly stated for the first time her ambition to become president while demanding Mujuru must resign.

Back in 2004, Grace together with her current close ally Oppah Muchinguri campaigned for Mujuru to become vice-president at a time her rival Justice minister Emmerson Mnangagwa was trailblazing his way to the position.
