A Political analyst Pedzisai Ruhanya has warned the first lady Grace Mugabe to be careful on how she is trading her politics in the view that she appears to be bent on out maneuvering all the cadres of the party and hopes to takes charge after her 91 year old husband leaves power.

"Those who think that President (Robert) Mugabe's vacuous wife Grace is not taking advantage of the apparent vacuum in both party and country because of the President's advanced age (91) to exercise and usurp state power should listen to her Binga speech," he said.

"The question is; can Zanu PF survive with both (former vice president Joice) Mujuru and (Vice President Emmerson) Mnangagwa out as Grace bays for Croco's head? Grace should read about Mao's late wife Jiang Qing and what happened to her after the death of Chairman Mao."

Ruhanya's remarks came after Grace officially opened the Bulawayo Kraal Irrigation project on Thursday where she was the main player yet she is not a government official while government ministers were mere spectators.

Ruhanya also spoke about the gang of four as it has been alluded that in the ruling party the5re is a gang of four which include the political commissar Saviour Kasukuwere, Patrick Zhuwao, and others

"The GANG of FOUR was a political faction composed of four Chinese Communist Party officials during the Cultural Revolution (1966–76) and were later charged with a series of treasonous crimes," he said.

"The gang's leading figure was Mao Zedong's last wife Jiang Qing. The Gang of Four controlled the power organs of the Communist Party of China and made unpopular decisions in the name of Mao. Their downfall on October 6, 1976, a mere month after Mao's death exposed Mao's wife. Zanu PF and its Dr Grace should travel carefully. This Grace power?"
