Grace Mugabe outshines Mphoko

First Lady Grace Mugabe on Wednesday stole the thunder at a Zanu-PF campaign rally, albeit in absentia.

Her name and that of President Robert Mugabe featured prominently in the slogans, T-shirts and songs during an Epworth rally, which Vice-President Phelekezela Mphoko officiated.

Scores of people sported regalia emblazoned with Grace's face during the rally meant to garner support for Epworth constituency's Zanu-PF candidate, Zalerah Makari.

The by-elections will be held on September 19 following the death of former Energy minister, Amos Midzi.
