Grace demands massive clean up in Mugabe's office

FIRST Lady Grace Mugabe has reportedly demanded a massive clean-up in President Robert Mugabe's office, as the fallout over his wrong speech of last Tuesday boils over.

Although both Information minister Christopher Mushohwe and presidential spokesperson George Charamba could not be reached for comment yesterday, impeccable sources told NewsDay that the investigation into the fiasco that saw Mugabe reading his State of the Nation Address (Sona) he presented last month to parliament "has gone back 10 years".

"There will be blood on the floor. Dr Amai (Grace) has demanded a clean sweep of the OPC (Office of the President and Cabinet), especially everyone who deals with his speeches," a source said.

"There is a belief within the Presidency that very few people can be trusted and if people thought last year was chaotic, then they must wait for what is coming. It will be Armageddon. Expect more purges.

"Securocrats are now worried because they believe that the President's security is heavily compromised. Anything is possible given what has gone on this year alone."
