Grace jumped gun on Mujuru, says Mugabe

President Robert Mugabe has accused his wife First Lady Grace Mugabe of prematurely exposing  his then second in command Joice Mujuru's alleged coup and assassination plot.

In his televised interview broadcast on ZTV on the eve of his 91st birthday celebrations in Victoria Falls, Mugabe said he wanted Mujuru's alleged shenanigans to be exposed at the right time but was surprised when Grace let the cat out of the bag during her Meet the People Tours which were held a few months before the Zanu-PF congress in December.

He said at home they discuss politics and share ideas but Grace started to talk about Amai Mujuru's corrupt activities too early.

Mugabe said Grace had entered politics on her own volition contrary to speculative reports that he had introduced his wife into politics to safeguard his legacy and business interests.
