'I am the referee, I will blow the whistle' - Grace Mugabe

FIRST Lady Grace Mugabe has declared herself as in charge of Zanu PF affairs saying she is the party referee who won't hesitate to blow a whistle on corrupt officials.

Grace was addressing a rally at Mutambara Mission in Chimanimani Thursday.

"It will come another time when I will be prompted to blow the whistle.

"I am likening politics to a football match because we say bhora mugedhi (ball in the nets) in Zanu PF and I am the referee. All members are playing the match and if you infringe on anyone I will blow the whistle" she said.

Sixteen ministers and scores of legislators  complained Grace to the rally and clear indication of massive bootlicking.

She warned of factionalism.

"We don't want factionalism. I said it in the briefing meeting that people think factionalism only happens at the top level, no, there are also people doing factionalism at the lower structures. Down with them because they are dividing the party.

"When I said down with factionalism, I noticed that there are some people who are not happy with what I said. Stop it, whoever is involved in factionalism should stop it," Grace fumed.
