Grace Mugabe takeover sparks outrage

First Lady Grace Mugabe has now taken charge of both Zanu-PF and government following disclosures that the two Vice Presidents Emmerson Mnangagwa and Phekezela Mphoko take instructions from her, observers have said.

Opposition parties and analysts said Grace's remarks in Kadoma all but confirmed that she was now the defector leader of both Zanu-PF and government.

They urged President Robert Mugabe to resign as he was no longer in control.
