War over Grace Mugabe breaks out

Zanu-PF's factional fights came to the fore yesterday as divisions in the ruling party's Manicaland Women's League almost turned nasty with the rival groups exchanging insults and nearly coming to blows at a provincial meeting in Mutare.

The meeting had been called by national Women's League leaders who are on a fact finding mission following reports of sharp divisions in the province.

First Lady Grace Mugabe was the major source of the conflict between two distinct factions that have emerged.
