Grace Mugabe resumes her controversial rallies

First Lady Grace Mugabe has resumed her controversial rallies today as she is currently addressing beneficiaries of a housing scheme in Kadoma.

Vice Presidents Phelekezela Mphoko and Emmerson Mnangagwa  and Local Government minister  Ignatius Chombo are some of the noticeable top government officials in attendance.

Last year, she embarked on countrywide rallies dubbed "meet-the-people tours" during which she unleashed acerbic attacks on Mujuru, accusing her of a host of offences chief among them being a plot to topple her husband President Robert Mugabe, and demanding that she resigns from government.

Shortly afterwards Mujuru was fired along with several other ministers and party heavyweights including Presidential Affairs minister Didymus Mutasa, Energy minister Dzikamai Mavhaire and party spokesperson Rugare Gumbo.

The current round of rallies could herald the start of another round of rallies as renewed factionalism escalates in the ruling Zanu PF party.
