Political analyst Pedzisai Ruhanya has question if the first lady Grace Mugabe is now the Zimbabwean law or authority who call the shoots as to who should be fired and who should be promoted as it appears to be the trend.

Grace's mingling in the government has seen former Vice President Joice Mujuru and his allies losing their government and Zanu PF positions after the instigation of their firing by the first lady.

Even the appointment of Vice President Emmerson Mnangagwa and Phelekezela Mphoko were influenced by Grace.

"SPOT ON Queen of Grace ZimAsset Trust, Amai Stop It, Dr Amai against pedophiles," said Ruhanya.

"What are the constitutional mechanisms to address any acts of misconduct by public officials? Do we really require Zanu PF's Women's League chair lady to be the authority of everything including firing Vice Presidents? By the way, why does this Dr not also talk about several bloody political murders by her party and government?"

Ruhanya asked if the Grace was a law abiding citizen.

"Had recently that her son was involved in a culpable homicide case? Why are we celebrating this mediocre," said Ruhanya.

"Why cant she tell her husband to bring order in public institutions? But she is right that our kinds need protection. Dr Amai if you have power as people say Wield the axe against Tomana now?"

Ruhanya's remarks come soon after Grace called for the dismissal of Prosecutor General Johannes Tomana whom she accused of being a rapist and children abuser after he recently said children at 12 years could be allowed to decided whether to get married or not.
