Grace Mugabe accuses ministers of sabotage

FIRST Lady Grace Mugabe has sensationally claimed there are moles within President Robert Mugabe's administration who are sabotaging government's much-vaunted, but ill-funded economic blueprint, Zimbabwe Agenda for Sustainable Socio-Economic Transformation (ZimAsset).

She made the claims yesterday while addressing several thousands of villagers at Matabeleland South's Maphisa business centre in Matobo district as part of her "meet-the-people" rallies.

"There are rogue elements who are sabotaging ZimAsset," Grace charged without elaborating.

The First Lady also implored non-governmental organisations to "call for the lifting of sanctions" imposed on Mugabe and his inner circle by the United States and previously the European Union on allegations of human rights violations and electoral fraud.

State Security minister Kembo Mohadi also blamed the alleged Zanu-PF moles for ZimAsset's failure to "jumpstart" the economy.
